Thurber...

I love what Keith Olberman is doing. In general. But Fridays are really special. He lost both is parents in less than a year. And was just going on going on, taking much time off during the middle of the health care debate, and reading to his father, then roaring in to go all Rambo on the nay-sayers. And he does a lot of good stuff behind the scenes.

He would read James Thurber to his father in his last days. And his father used to say, 'You should do that on Tee-vee.... Whatever, the last heiress of James Thurber gave him permission to do that. And his estate regulators.

So Fridays are special. And I KNOW all these stories, and have laughed so much over them. His recent redition of 'The Greatest Man in the World' was classic, as well as 'The Night the GHOST Got in'.. Y'see... I've read all these things, and was delighted, amused, thoughtful, and the drawings... he was nearly blind, but they were so funny.

However, there is a motive as well, about politics, and what Keith chooses... has a background. Enjoy today, the first part of 'The Day The Dam Broke'. And think about it.
