ABOUT THE NEWS HOLE

It's the new award-winning blog* from the cast and crew of the award-winning television news hour** "Countdown with Keith Olbermann."

We heard about this whole "blogosphere" business from Tom DeLay, and came to the immediate realization that we too, "needed to become involved" in it.

So here it is. Covering the big news, the small news, medium-sized and irregular, The News Hole strives to bring everything you love or hate about Countdown to the internets.

Your feedback and hate mail is encouraged.

How Bush spent his days in office - This isn't exactly the source of the "2.5 years on vacation" stat but it's a nice clear breakdown of how the days and events tally up for the Bush years.

The details of the man who died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody are even more outrageous than Keith described in Wednesday night's Bushed segment. The New York Times has the full story, short version at Gothamist.

The article suggesting McCain's speech on the Georgia crisis was partly plagiarized from Wikipedia is here.

From Monday's Oddball, the emotion-enabled Heart Robot.
