Happy Singleness Awareness Day! And SC Day!

You know, that SC Keith just gave was very similar to his last, but I honestly don't care because the last twenty seconds were amazing.

I do hate when people refer to Mr. Olbermann as the "modern Edward R. Murrow", as he so often is, but tonight, for once, I think it could be a little justified.

:blows a kiss at her newsman: Thank you, Keith. You never disappoint.

Well, that's not completely true, but the ratio of disappointment to joy you cause has been pretty damn good for the last few months.

Also, who else noticed that Keith has dodged doing the much-loathed "Keeping Tabs" segment lately?

Who else didn't laugh at the Hitler joke?

I honestly think the only person who can make that joke is Mel Brooks.

Holding onto this one so I don't forget. Feel free to ignore.

As recently ago as 2006, we spoke words like these with trepidation.

The idea that even the most cynical and untrustworthy of politicians in our history — George W. Bush — would use the literal form of terrorism against his own people — was dangerous territory. It seemed to tempt fate, to heighten fear.

We will not fear any longer.

We will not fear the international terrorists — we will thwart them.

We will not fear the recognition of the manipulation of our yearning for safety — we will call it what it is: terrorism.

We will not fear identifying the vulgar hypocrites in our government — we will name them.

And we will not fear George W. Bush.

Nor will we fear because George W. Bush wants us to fear.
