I really dislike Olbermann a little

Leave a reply

He’s good.  He’s the left’s Bill O’Reilly, though in no way as ridiculous.  And I like his rants and whatnot.  He’s gone off on Hillary a few times.  The latest was after the whole RFK assassination stuff.

 

But I have to say, and I have no idea how long he’s done it, hell maybe since day one (I don’t watch regularly), I find Olbermann’s use of “good night and good luck”, aping of Edward R. Murrow a little off-putting. As much as he might be a hero/idol/etc., it just seems a little pretentious.

McCain is loved and hated by me

Did McCain screw himself when he promoted speedy adoption of HDTV? – By Timothy Noah – Slate Magazine

McCain as the cause of HD penetration is a reason I’d like him.  Though I’d just as likely have HD now without him.  And due to SDV and TiVo I don’t get many of the HD channels.

But funny that HD might be downfall.  And I could totally see it doing so.

Really?!? (in the style of Really with Seth and Amy from SNL)

Just got back from a run (I really need to go back to running regularly, I’m running so slow and a mere 3.5 miles was a wee bit taxing) and turned on the TV as I sit in my AC and try to cool off as I stretch (and by stretch I mean sit on the floor and do nothing).  “Wheel of Fortune” is on and I can’t find the remote so it’s what I’m watching.  I don’t want to sound too judgemental but:

“SI-N  -AN–A-E  INTERPRETER” is the puzzle.  Now even if you can’t figure out that the answer is SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER from that point, how in the hell is your next letter “D”?!?!?!  Where does “D” fit?  Maybe I don’t have the greatest vocabulary, but jebus!  And it wasn’t a tentative “D”, it was proclaimed with confidence.  Really?!? “D”??!?  Really?!??
