A Keith Olbermann Bobblehead!

Keith Olbermann bobblehead

Having just talked about him yesterday (Keith Olbermann’s Countdown as a podcast), I just found out through his show’s site you can buy a Keith Olbermann bobblehead complete with a little desk!

Keith Olbermann Bobblehead — Now you can sit down with your favorite MSNBC personality, Keith Olbermann. This new bobblehead features the talk show host seated at his Countdown desk. You’ll have a front row seat for all the action.

I reckon he’d go great with my anime figures, they could all set up some sort of weird newsroom ^_^. If anyone wants to buy me one, let me know and I’ll forward you my address. Don’t all rush to offer at once!

Keith Olbermann's Countdown as a podcast

Ever since I saw his thorough, well constructed, passionate and fast paced rebuttal of Bill O’Reilly’s Malmedy massacre faux pas and subsequent refusal to apologise, I’ve been a bit of a Keith Olbermann fan. His Countdown programme focuses on five American news stories from that day along with the reoccurring Worst Person in The World and other tongue in cheek segments.

First of the last single digit days for Dubbya

George W. Bush from JudicaryReport.com

Given timezone differences this will be in some areas a few hours off and in other places up to a day off, but bear with me. Today is the first of the last single digit days that George W. Bush is in power. Doesn’t that just excite the heck out of you?

As a caucasian person living in Asia, I am very much looking forward to being able to walk down the street without a few people glaring at me because they assume there’s a chance I’m an American and voted for him. This has ebbed somewhat since Barack Obama won the election to end all elections, but I’ll definitely feel more comfortable once he really has control of the ship.

I don’t know enough about American politics, but is it possible to impeach him and Dick Cheney after they’ve left office? As in, would it theoretically be possible to screw up their legacy and have them officially disgraced? It’d be getting off easy after doing what they and their cronies have done, but it’d be start.
