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.

Subsequent events, of course, rendered the question a little more urgent.

Stevens Swan Song: He's still officially a United States Senator until January 6th when the 111th congress gets sworn in. But in our second story on the Countdown - for all intents and purposes - Alaska's senior Senator has now figuratively - left the building.
