I love waking up to news like that.

But until we get real results rather than politicians jumping the gun on victory speeches, we just won't know if both houses will end up under Democratic control. And I have to go to bed eventually. I feel better sleeping on it this time around than I did two years ago, believe me.

By now everyone has seen, heard, read or read about President Clinton's ambush by Chris Wallace on Fox News last week. Well, Keith Olbermann stepped up to the plate to, in one fell swoop, vilify the media's sloppy assessment of Clinton's "crazed" response and brought to light an important question. Has George W. Bush even presented himself as a true American with American ideals amidst his incessant and deplorable actions of our "president" fighting for "freedom?" I think it's as valid a question as has ever been posed against this...regime.

I'm extremely late to the table on this one. I happened to be reading through a back issue of The New Yorker today and the article mentioned this showdown between David Letterman and Bill O'Reilly on "The Late Show" and I didn't recall the event, so I looked it up on the internet and the first thing I came to was a blog entry with the video. So I gave it a look and damn if Letterman didn't hand O'Reilly his ass.

Yeah, it's tough to stay above the current events water sometimes when you're neck deep in entertainment journalism - stuff that, by and large, doesn't matter. So forgive the excessive tardiness, but this just made my day.

Anyway, I should link to that blog entry, which has a link to the video:
