Right?
Don't think I didn't try to get the driver's attention to figure out why it was there. Alas...

MSNBC is good for many things
First of all, I happened to pass by the TV as it was tuned into Chris Matthews. My TV is a liberal socialist, by the way. Anyway, he was on a segment called Let Me Finish. I thought this was pretty rich coming from Mr. Matthews, but I digress. I do like Mr. Matthews, and I love how he'll eviscerate every right-leaning pundit who comes on his show. That being said, never once have I seen him let one of them finish a thought. It's hilarious. I don't know if it's because they truly never give him a straight answer in the first place, or because he wants to make them feel stupid. Which is a point - they're not all that bright to go on Chris Matthews and expect a fair trial, as it were.
Anyway, whatever Matthews was talking about in his segment tonight passed me by - I didn't have the energy or attention span to figure out what was up. It's ok though, I'm sure it's one of many.
Which leads me to, Keith Olbermann's "special comment", prior to Rachel Maddow, after the Olympics coverage ended for the night. Why yes, I watched all of the above.
Anyway, of all of the feisty, overzealous talking heads, Olbermann is my favorite. Sure, he's kind of irrational and easily excited. He makes for good TV that way. Can I take Jon Stewart a little more seriously? Maybe, but the humor I get from Olbermann is a little more organic (or possibly, unintentional).
That being said, Keith is a smart guy, and I agree with him on most of his talking points. Unfortunately, I think his message gets lost to those Americans who aren't pissed off liberals who enjoy a good rant on their cable news networks. However, some of his commentary really should be seen - by everyone.
This is from the day before the Healthcare Summit, speaking about his father who is gravely ill, and the events leading up to his comment. It's both deeply moving, and entirely genuine. I'm glad he chose to use his given platform to relay such a message to the public, I just wish he didn't turn so many of them off on a regular basis.
Olbermann: All Americans should be able to make medical decisions free of worry about the cost.
