Keith Olbermann on Prop 8
I admit, I didn’t pay much attention to the issue of Prop 8 in California. I never seriously thought it would pass. I can’t remember a single time in history that a constitutional amendment was passed to take away rights that had already been granted. The very idea leaves a sour taste. It is hurtful and disgusting. I still find it doubtful that it will live long – court battles and ultimately future elections will likely rid California of this dark shadow. But that is beside the point, I was watching Countdown last night. Keith can tend to be a little overly dramatic (more of a drama queen than most guys I know), but last night’s special comment was poignant and moving. He talked about Prop 8 and it will definitely go down as one of his most memorable comments both for its sincerity and the power with which it was conveyed.
This could be my parents
I ran across this video while browsing. My lord, this could be my parents. The whole DTV switch over is going to be a major confusion for those that aren’t tech-literate. I know my parents do not have a clue what the difference between SD and HD is. The only good part is that they have dish and won’t have to worry much. Though, I already know the phone is going to ring with them wondering why the news suddenly ‘has these black lines at the top and bottom and the man is so small’ (translation letterbox).
