Keith Olbermann is off tonight. :-(
I just threw a scrunched up paper at the TV in protest.

5. I haven't seen a quiz in four weeks! :( Well, I guess the end of last
night's program made up for it. My roommates wouldn't let me watch the news AT ALL while I was in New York, therefore, no Keith (I couldn't even watch the Daily Show!). :(

Seems he's off as much as he's on! But I'll miss him.

4. Attendance at church has been suggested as the reason...
It's Good Friday, after all...

(I should go more often; maybe I'd think of that...)

6. meh, or how about 'cause they're devoting the ENTIRE SHOW
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 02:47 PM by crispini
to the Schiavo case? I think that would cause me to take off as well. I'm totally embargoing all TV other than Keef, I'm not watching tonight, and I'm thisclose to swearing off DU too.....

7. 'I'm this close to swearing off DU too' - crispini
Huh? We wouldn't see you, then!?

There's a lot more on this site than Schiavo, and what there is will noticeably decrease shortly...

I totally understand why it's getting you exasperated, tho.

10. sounds like you need a big dose of KOEB silliness
whether or not it's "appropriate". Only one place to get it and just your luck -- it's Friday! Come to the meeting. Even I will do my best to stop by tonight and see how bad I can be without getting :spank:

Sundown tonight marks the start of Purim...

Oops, edited to correct: Purim started last night.

26. Hiding.
Nah, not really. Just been watching instead of bloggin' with y'all. TV is in the house, computer is in my shop - at opposite ends of our property. I tried running back and forth once, but missed too much at both ends!

17. Woops, sorry.
KOEB = Keith Olbermann Estrogen Brigade. He has a fan club of sorts here on DU. We get together every night during the show and liveblog while we watch. It started during the post-election period when he was the only one covering the election fraud issue and we'd report live on what he said. Now, though, Countdown liveblogs their own show so we mostly provide color commentary, chat, and talk about his ties and how cute he is. ;)

FYI, the election results forum (where the nightly thread is) is here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=203

and the Group is here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=315

Drop by, there's always room for one more! :hi:

31. Sounds like fun
I occasionally watch the midnight showing since I'm usually at work during the live newscast. Thanks for the links, I will drop by and join you sometime. He *is* a very fair reporter and not so bad in the looks department.

He must live near where I work because I've seen him walking around that area often. Sorry, I don't have any interesting stories about my sightings. :(

37. Since you're new
and of the estrogen persuasion, I'll buy the drinks. (do not listen to the other ladies when they say I'm a bad influence. They just want to keep me for themselves):smoke:
