I try not to do too many “Yeah, what he said” posts. But Keith Olbermann put it so beautifully last night I can’t resist.

The best journalists of our days are two comedians, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and one sportscaster, Keith Olbermann.
“We live in interesting times.” Isn’t that a Chinese Curse???
Olbermann was AWESOME.
