COINCIDENCE or conspiracy?? No sooner does Keith Olbermann break the sound barrier and surpass
Bill Orally in the ratings than he is stricken down, forced to miss doing his show
and competing against Loofah O'Leilly because of what's being referred to in MSM circles
as ..."appendicitis." Hmm - sounds pretty fishy to moi. I'm wondering if Billo sent his
goons to sprinkle a little 'appendicitis' on Keith's food in the commissary?

Where are all the conspiracy theorsts when you need them? Hello...anyone?

10. Chinese laced with melamine is bad, but palonium is what the Russians use on good journalists

4. That's assuming it was appendicitis.
Maybe it was something that looked like appedicitis.

5. I know I used to think appendicitis is something that only teenage kids get but
I've now heard of several middle aged people who have had surgery because of it. I also had my appendix removed recently to prevent an attack (along with diverticulitis).

So this is not an unusual surgery for a person KO's age...

14. Got mine out at 11, and glad of it. 1962.
Still got the book from my late uncle and aunt given to me in the hospital, Robinson Crusoe, in my bookcase. At 11, I was just starting to appreciate the nurses. I still appreciate them now, and in another 20 years, I especially hope to do so.

6. Well, in terms of ratings, at least he's getting it over with now, the sweeps start in November.
And that is all that advertisers and broadcasters really care about.

7. Cool -- return of "BushCo Caused the Tsunami" . . .
absolutely nothing is as it appears; it's all a conspiracy. Certainly makes the world easier to understand when approached with the conviction everything must be comprehensible.

15. Keith is teaching the Congress a valuable lesson.
When you have a useless piece of flab inside your body--that insists upon doing nothing at all constructive but is intent upon bringing the whole body down--you get rid of it. You have it removed. Now, Congress, did you learn anything from this?

and I think you win!).
