The Gawker Guide to Mourning
“The last time Olbermann took a sudden, unexplained absence from the show, it turned out to have been a hissy-fit work stoppage after Rachel Maddow booked Ben Affleck… After CityFile reported on the flap, Olbermann blamed the absence on his mother’s death, which had occurred two weeks prior.”

Keith Olbermann Will Explain Where In the World He’s Been [Gawker]
My lost brain cells: Last weekend
I have no clue what this means. I feel like the foreign kid who talks funny.
@Benedick: I’m pretty sure I do know what this means, and I’m surrounded by people with funny accents. Coincidence?
it seems to be a joke of which Olberman is the butt. so Im down with it.
we were talking about the crisis in education the other day. those clever Koreans show us the solution.
@Benedick: Oh good, thought it was just me.
@Capt Howdy: Perhaps if they can’t pass the test they have to watch the movie?
@Mistress Cynica: I’m so like duh?
@Benedick:
What else is new?
ADD: Okay, that sounded a little mean. Just teasing you, Limey. You know how deep my affection for you runs.
Are you a horror fan, my man? AWESOME. Me too.
@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches:
I am THE horror fan.
counting the minutes until I can see Paranormal Activity
@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches: You made me cry. I hope you’re happy.
I was really extremely impressed by Hostel. Or at any rate, what I saw of it from behind the sofa. And let’s not forget the Broadway version of Singin’ in the Rain. It took me weeks to get over that.
