My First Post

Well there are many things about me, I'm sure I'll share on here. And I'm sure that many of those things will be political in nature, as I am very politically inclined. So since I have some things to do right now, and because I don't feel like writing a lot, I'll put two of some of my favorite videos having to do with politics.

The first is one that I think every single American, especially every Bush supporter needs to see. It seems to me that America is once again proving we have the shortest memory of any nation, and perhaps we need to be reminded of the atrocities the Bush administration has perpetrated and of the fact that absolutely no one has been held responsible, and they need to be. Here I give you: How to Make an Angry American...







Here is the next video. This is a video from Countdown with Keith Olbermann. For those of you who don't know Keith Olbermann is a popular newsman and used to be a sportscaster. I use the term Newsman in the truest sense of the word. While there are many popular and well-liked figures on network news these days, Keith Olbermann is the only one who is a true Newsman. He does not just simply present the news to the people, but adds eloquent and insightful social commentary. He does not hesitate to let his opinion be known, and he is not worried about calling out the government on their many blatant blunders and crimes. Here in a special ending to his show, Olbermann comments on Bush and his blatant lies about the war in Iraq. One great thing I love about Keith and his show is that at the end of every newscast he gives an update on the end of the war by saying, as he did tonight for example, "That's all for today, the 1,764th day since the declaration of "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq" He is quite possibly one of the greatest, if not the greatest Newsman since Edward R. Murrow. And in this closing of the show, Olbermann reflects this trait as he does not give his daily update on the days since Mission Accomplished, but instead ends his show with the famous line Edward R. Murrow said when denouncing Joseph McCarthy, "Goodnight and Goodluck." Here you go...




That's all for now...
