Well…just learned reading the news this morning that Countdown with Keith Olbermann was canceled Friday and I sit here with some sadness that our progressive counterpoint to the swamp of propaganda from Fox is gone. There were times that Keith made me cringe with some of the over-the-top hyperbole that was a part of the show, but, for the most part, he was the only one that was calling out the right and its lies….who was shining a light into the dark corners of politics that the mainstream media was ignoring. There were many times that I wanted to stand up and cheer for the things he said….and to applaud the passion and humanity that was clear from the beginning of Countdown….I regret that I skipped last night’s show but am thankful for the eight years it was on….

So, thank you, Keith…..
