Olbermann is Spot On!

The video link above is Keith Olbermann's special statement at the end of his program, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, broadcast on September 11, 2006. This fifth anniversary of the Al Qaeda attacks on the United States finds Osama Bin Laden at large, the US squandering resources in a war on a nation that had nothing to do with the attacks, and the President of the United States still vilifying those who disagree with his misguided policies. This is must viewing for all. It does require Internet Explorer.

Steve Irwin, Killed by a Stingray

As everyone knows by now, the "Crocodile Hunter", Steve Irwin, has been killed by a stingray barb through the heart while taping a television program. This was truly a freak accident, as very rarely are stingrays fatal to humans. Not much I can say about this great conservationist and naturalist, other than he was able to bring his love of animals to the public via his television shows, acquainting his viewers with some of the others with which we share this planet. He will be missed by many, myself included.
