1. Woo Hoo!

But where's the unctuous Nancy Grace? Isn't that crap on anymore or have I overlooked it on that site in my excitement?

It was just too good not to give it legs of it's own :)

3. This is the subject of anoher DU thread - one of the replies says it's OUR

DOING! "Isn't there a group of chicks that dedicate a thread to him from DU? That's probably what did it." :rofl: (The poster likes Olbermann too.)

Here's the thread:

4. CHICKS?!

Let's face it: we're a great buncha broads. :-)

5. Great news!

I was gettin' kinda depressed at the news that Scaryborough had better ratings...I guess not always!

7. I found that particular "news item"

"Scarborough has better ratings" a bit suspect, since every time I've seen tvnewser give the breakdown, that's usually not the case. Either tvnewser is skewing (and IMHO, this site does skew to the right), or "Countdown" doesn't do as well when Keith isn't there -- and Keith wasn't there quite a few nights in April.

on edit: a good example of the need to read closely at tvnewser: there was an article stating that Headline News ratings are up ~125% compared to their figures a year ago. Makes Nancy Grace sound like a huge success. Yet if you read another article, there's a sentence referring to a Variety article which clearly states that during the month of April, MSNBC climbed back into the third place, ahead of Headline News. Translation: Nancy Grace is doing better than the lineup did a year ago, but all that money they spent on her didn't pay off as spectacularly as they'd hoped.

6. explanation of acronym ASTB = Alison Stewart Testosterone Brigade

... of course. On the nights when Keith isn't there, which occur all too often.
