Thank you Keith Olbermann for your words tonight, this 9/11
and so it came to pass that a man would light a
candle and call on all of us to light our own candles
so as to chase away the dark fog of lies and the
strange notion that more deaths will somehow
help all the others that have passed.

********************************************

We are seeing a rare and special talent in Keith Olbermann.

30. You guys are making me miss my baby golden!
Best. Dog. Ever!!!

He's been gone for 7 years, ex-husband got him from the 1st wife and Dog was totally untrained, undisciplined and never deliberately socialised in any way. Still, you could take that dog anywhere without a leash, he was always mellow and affectionate, not a fearful or diva-esque bone in his doggy bod.

He went to the beach twice a day! In San Francisco, we could rarely follow him into the water, but on the few days we did, he just loved it.

Yup. Smiley face looking up at you every morning!

Oh...and OT: Keith just rocks!! I've been watching him for years, since I accidently tuned in while surfing. He was never timid about (articulately) expressing his disgust for the Bushies; it's totally awesome to see him win the time slot over O'Lielley. Gives me hope for the American people!

18. He's a WUNNNNNderful writer. Just World Class. Clever, droll, elegant,
and profound.

I love his stuff. Really towering, his vocabulary masterful, and his grammar is impeccable.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20730121/

Under the 'where are they now' box. click the tiny 'print this' - not on the names at the left. It gives you pictures of the criminals as well as KO's comment about each.

31. Like St. John the Baptist,
KO is a voice, crying in the wilderness. We have been sent many strong voices to help us - Colbert, Dean, Clark, Kucininch, Malloy, and more - but KO is our champion: powerful, articulate, accurate, and absolutely fearless, a leader, a beacon of hope.

32. The only one speaking out and asking the right questions. Wish he
didn't have to share the show but maybe that would mean he would have to work twice as hard and he does so much already. I wait for his obsevations with the greatest anticipation. He's the greatest.

34. Now, Nail the facilitators!
No doubt that Bush & Co have no conscience, but what about the Republican congressmen and senators that continually vote in lock-step with everything they do? If not for these idiots, we could do something to stop this madness!

36. We still can
It's called getting to the polls and vote next November so we can take back the White House, clean up the White House and all of the Federal Govt. and bring ALL of the troops home! Let's face it--the repugs days are certainly numbered!
