“Chief loser.”

Wow. This is big. I predict hundreds of viewers!

I don’t even know if Comcast carries Current. Can’t recall seeing it while flipping channels.

In Current Media, Al Gore and Joel Hyatt have created the model truth-seeking entity.

Ah, crap. You owe me a new keyboard, Keith.

Cox doesn’t. I’m so depressed.

Oh…..good.

I’m sure that’ll be fair and balanced.

Yeeks.

So we’re going to have yet another channel with bloodlust against Fox News. How Quaint.

HOW DARE YOU, SIR?!

Oh THIS should go well. As we all know Keith works so well with people and treats everyone he works with as he would want to be treated. Now that he’s in charge his ego and history of abusive treatment of underlings should make for great time at Current. Time to dust of the CV and see if I can stand in line to be abused by this a$$hat.

Has anyone here ever watched Current? What kind of news programming do they have?

I didn’t think Olbermann would choose to be seen by even less people than before.

I’m sure Al Gore and team think this will be a draw to a channel that is already almost dead and has resorted to showing movies to try and draw a few viewers.

But they aren’t taking into account that Olbermann pushes away as many as he draws.Plus Current is aimed at the teens and twenties set,not exactly Olbermann’s age group though certainly susceptible to brain washing which might explain the whole idea.

“engages viewers with smart, provocative and timely programming –stories that no one else is telling in ways that no one else is telling them.”

“shines a light where others won’t dare and boldly explores important subjects — opening minds, sparking conversations and forming deep connections with its viewers.”

Well that sounds like another show that comes on daily on FoxNews. Guess who??

Chief News Officer of Current Media!

So, does that mean he will just cover FOX news 24/7?

“Pathetic” is the word that comes immediately to mind.

The confusing part is why they include “news” in KO’s new title.

Anyway, it’s nice to see an ag school alumn finally do good. Those vocational programs really seem to produce some fine talent.

I would venture to say that olby has stips in his contract that say he has to mention “global” and “warming” a certain number of times each act. Other than that, it’s all Fox all day. ;)

delusional narcissist.

Wow, look at all the KODS flaring up around here!

Gotta hand it to Olbermann. He is now moved one step ahead of the rest in going to a pre-failed network that nobody ever heard of from a failing network that some folks heard of.

Chief News Officer? What? Now Gore and Olbermann are actually making up titles to hide the fact that neither of them would know reality if it ran them over.

For the record and in the interest of “fair and balanced,” FNC sounds more like a fiction channel these days as well.

I will let someone else make the Anderson Cooper/fairly tale joke.

If Keith makes a “special comment” and no one watches, does he make a sound? I suppose we’re about to find out.

paulmdoro said:

I watched Current when it was brand new. Not bad… like watching a lot of student documentaries. The problem is the scheduling. Now, it looks like they’ve built a more regular program schedule… which needed to happen (before it was just “pods” of indeterminate length, running back to back to back). It made for good background noise, but it wasn’t appointment television.

However, I’m not sure how KO will fit into that plan. Will he have a 30 minute program that airs 18 times a day? A primetime slot for a regular program? Or will he be strictly behind the scenes?

Either way… Current is WAY down on the list “watched stations.” It’s going to be very hard for KO to spin this positive.

mark, that picture of keefy has to be at least 10 yrs old. He’s well over 300 lbs, now.

Didn’t make a sound when people were watching. I suspect his new show will be aptly titled: “Desperate for Attention.”

tens upon tens of people will be so excited. And that includes all the staff from this site

The ultimate oxymoron.

Like Norbit has said all along: It is THEIR media. All the news that’s fit for sheep.

Do you think Keith will attempt to recruit some of (and I use the word hesitantly) talent at MSNBC?

Who’d be first to sign up?

Also, do you think there’s any conspiracy or co ordination between the HuffPo/Aoln brand, Soros’ groups, and now Current TV?

I always new Keith had it in him! Dang, I’m so proud of the way Keith worked his way to the top by getting fired repeatedly and working at increasingly more obscure jobs. Keep up the good work Keith! I can see you as the CEO of your own company someday, and Chief engineer too! Olbermann Sanitation Inc.

Workers are currently cutting a firebreak to keep Keith’s eyebrows from spreading further.

Kudos nd, it’s gonna be a long campaign!
I have a feeling they’ll be sending out THEIR paid posters on social media sites to misrepresent the facts, and of course, call anyone who disagrees with the radical left – everyone together now, “Racist!”.

But the Big Mo has already turned, and noboby’s buying this RHETORICAL shift to reason.
We’ve heard his rhetoric for two years – and we’ve seen that his actions don’t match his words!

Pretty words though. It’s watch the friendly birdie in this hand, while I pick your pocket, and usurp your freedom and independence with the other!

A greasepaint moustache, and I could swear that’s a photo of Groucho Marx.

As Chief News Officer, will he be able to arrest any news that does meet his high liberal standards?

I think it is a smart move for him. People’s time in public eye can be very fleeting. He did what he felt he had to do…obviously it wasn’t going to work w/ MSNBC/Comcast.

I can’t stand his style and from what I’ve seen on these boards, not a whole of people (on either side of the political spectrum) are in disagreement with me on that point. He seems to be a volatile, smug, arrogant condescending ________________.

He also is a lightning rod and people will follow him for a while…most of them waiting/anticipating a complete and total freakout. This gives him another chance to be in the public eye and to possibly craft another attempt at acceptance in corporate media.

We are both the same age. When you hit 50 years of age, job opportunities are as prevalent as they once were. I’ve never burned any bridges; Olby has.

I’m looking at him as a lesson on not how to plan your later work years. I think he’ll show me the way.

I love that this line of logic “only works” for the left when they’re accusing the right of something.

Say the same thing about the left and Palin, Beck, FOX News, Limbaugh, etc… and you’ll hear a chorus of, “We’re not upset, we just think it’s all so funny,” or “We’re not upset, they’re just really bad people,” or “We’re not upset, you’re just a jerk!”

It’s not a double standard… it’s just, um… a different standard than the one they apply to themselves.

Personally, I think they are all jerks who would do America a service if they would just shut up for 5 minutes. This includes Olby, Palin, Hannity, Maddow, Limbaugh, Schultz and the rest of the mob of morons who would destroy this nation for an extra rating point. They are bad for America because their livelihood is dividing America.

Olbermann working for Al Gore? Makes sense. Like Olbermann, Gore hides from debate and is afraid of having to defend his views in the face of tough questions. A perfect partnership! But if they actually want to attract an audience, they should look at Fox, where diverse and frank commentary makes for interesting, unpredictable programming — something Mr. Olbermann has never delivered in the course of his career.

Or this one?

You should always take a moment and think sometimes.

Your words carry weight; use them well.

1) Did Current Media and NBC Universal negotiate a shorter TV blackout for Olbermann?
1a) If not, did Olbermann have a built-in option that allowed him to receive compensation until he got a new job, at which point NBC Universal would cease payments?

2) Did Current Media offer more money, the same or less?

3) 75 Million homes “worldwide” (whatever that means) is an awfully small potential audience. I know my cable system has not – to date – offered Current TV.

4) I’m glad they clarified that political contributions will be allowed (I certainly don’t have a problem with it, and although such contributions are public information, easily referenced on the internet, it does need to be disclosed to viewers if election day or primaries are close) – HOWEVER – the question I am most interested in being answered is will Keith Olbermann finally go into a voting booth and VOTE? America is amazing . . , imagine the Chief News Officer and political commentator of a media company (owned by a former Vice President of the United States) – and yet, Olbermann has NEVER voted. Amazing.

Hard to think of two more deserving of each other — both are blowhards, both are liars and if you could buy either for what he’s worth and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth, you could retire……on the island you just bought.

If the likes of Olbermann (or, as i like to call him, Monsieur Pomposity d’Blowhard — pronounced with a fake French accent) is what it takes to get Current TV off the ground (out of the cellar?), then more power to them. Nobody with any common sense will still watch/listen to them anyway. They can sit in their own echo chambers and talk to each other.

That’s something i never thought about…I always assumed Olby was a contributor.

If that’s the reason he parted ways with MSNBC that honestly was never my issue.

He wasn’t a journalist so I don’t think he had to be held to journalistic standards.

He pissed me of with his readings of James Thurber but I had to admit that was kinda cool.

I always thought he was political and I’ve always been the contrarion punk that always roots for the subversive no matter what.

Anyway, I think I’d miss him if he wasn’t available.

Well within reach. Did you miss my post when I said the day is still young? You’d need a translator for 3rd grade English, foolweaselⓇ who are you trying to kid, beamclownⓇ?

I’m not the grammar king/language king but I will Olby full credit for sizing his audience and speaking at that level.

I have no problems with that.

It wouldn’t be fabulous for anyone if you believed anything, clownweaselⓇ. Look at all the things you believe. You believe in 0bama’s big government, and that is proof alone that you are no small business man. DenseweaselⓇ

He is only a challenge to himself, in trying to tie his shoes and keeping track of my posts. For some reason he thinks I am interested in how many posts I make.

If we really had to prove anything, simple IRS tax returns would decide what makes a business man.

I’m not going to do it because it is my business but I’m pretty sure if you really doubted the veracity of someone’s retirement or business ownership…a couple of questions could simply clear up any mis-understandings.

The last thing I would ever want to do is run a business with this pack of thieves in office. I have many friends who do, and 0bama is not the boy for them.

Hey chumweaselⓇ, before I go for my run, how many posts are we at?

You retired @ 40….do you have an estate?

ndanielson said:

The thing is, the pack of thieves are local. City, county and state issuances are 1st and foremost.

You have no idea what I am talking about.

lazzzlo said:

If you run a business like that…you are an idiot.

I”m a little irritated and I am quoting from my own quotes.

Every once in a while I look at some of the comments and I feel it is necessary to call people out.

Actually workers comp., and unemployment insurance are the biggest killers. Keeping up with zoning and building permits is becoming prohibitive. But my state just raised corporate taxes on a ballot measure, causing many to business to flee and reduce hiring, and new construction is nil. Contracts that were signed and approved were canceled outright, leading to high unemployment.

Our unemployment benefits are extended to nearly 150 months, because of high unemployment. And that is the Federal government EUC programs through the supplemental appropriations act of 2008 and UCA of 2009. Their are now tier 3 up to tier 6 tables for unemployed workers in my state. And the feds are not paying. This is coming out of state government.

Hey Ed,

I wish i could speak in another language the way speak in ours.

ndanielson said:

Basically, that only kills you based on the numbers of people you fire. As a small businessman, I would assume your payroll is small.

If you are involved in construction…which I sorta of am, zoning permits are issues.

lazzzlo said:

I have a lot of assets in a lot of different places. I did not jump on the gold bandwagon, but I do believe in cash, stock, and muni’s, but I am getting out of Municipal bonds because state governments are heading toward bankruptcy, in my opinion.

I’ve never asked you what your job is yet.

You might want to take a moment and think about that answer.

I am not in business, but I have friends in business who are being taxed and regulated to the point of bankruptcy. The feds do breathe down the necks of every owner I know for things for anything they can fine you for. One injury on the job is all it takes to fold many small businesses. Layoffs can also cause an increase in your unemployment ratings.

In general, you should never ever tell me that information.

I know that. I am an owner. You are not..

You don’t have to teach me the rules; I know them and I am moral.

ndanielson said:

When economies get tight, layoffs go up. No fault of the business owner, and in many cases, no fault of the type of business. What the sheep don’t get, is that without growing the economy, we are all doomed. The wealth creators, once they are broke, cannot come back, as they go down fighting their assets are lost, and their credit is ruined.

lazzzlo said:

I am invested in a lot of my friends’ businesses, and they are quite diverse. From cement to restaurants, to real estate, and none of them are doing good right now. And all of them play by the rules.

I am sure that I must have set a personal record for sheepweaselⓇ to track for the next round. I have a 5k and few laps in the pool to keep the wife happy, that I need to tend to. It keeps the mind sharp. Bye, flopweaselⓇ

At tax time, that puts you in an interesting position.

The idea is not to be in that position, but you can actually estimate losses.

You need to pull your available money together and control it. And figure out why it got out of hand so it doesn’t happen ever again.

Lazzzlo has spoken…it’s good advice.

lazzzlo said:

It actually makes just about everyday tax time.

Invest conservatively…if it sounds to good to be true…it is.

I can’t believe you are listening to me, but you really should think about any financial effort for a bit.

Re think what ever anyone ever says.

Always ask yourself 2 questions.

How do I profit?

How will I get hurt?

lazzzlo said:

More conservative than muni’s??? I have dropped all my assessment bond due to the housing crunch. I am not much of an investor, but I have lost no money in 10 years. None. Keep your eye out for crapweaselⓇ. I have to get some stuff done before the wife notices.

ndanielson said:

That’s the other bad move in personal financials.

That never works out well

Plus, your business should be separate.

Ok, I called you out on that. What kind of a return rate do you get from betting on a structured cities finances?

It ‘s a good exercise to do so! As for me I have a poorly brain hardware/software and it was a toil to understand and learn this macarronic english of mine.

I envy some peope in europe, btw, easter one mostly, that have a high mental capacity to learn languages.

Yes, it’s portugese my language! Thanks!

The Munis down here change based on the anticipation of the completion of a proposed job. That’s a scary proposition., but this area will grow, but just not now.

The understanding of new construction will bring jobs.

That’s a hard thing to do; I work with the electrical contractors/sub-contractors and we set them up for new IT.

After the par value has been returned after 10 years on a $2.3 million dollar investment at 4% semi-annually, you tell me if I lost any money. I have so many investments that everyday is tax day. My portfolio is sound. And I am not that good. I love non depreciating, hard assets, like old cars, old planes, vintage boats and paid-for old houses, too.

lazzzlo said:

I’m lost on that…I just don’t know what you are saying

Ed…I wish I could flip into multiple languages the way it appears you can.

It’s my pleasure to chat with you.

lazzzlo said:

I loved Cornwall and Newquay. One of the best cities I have ever been to, next to Babbehausen, Germany, where I was born. Beautiful coastline in Cornwall. Have you been there?

ndanielson said:

Well, possibly. i dunno what your investment is and the 4% number semi-anually calculated is what?

Are you saying you got a return on your 2.3 M investment minus your investure, as a percentage or actually as real growth?

If you bought the investment @ 2.3 M…that’s a tidy sum.

Do you own that real property?

lazzzlo said:
ndanielson said:

If you can sell the investment and get a calculated growth from it…yep, it’s aprofit.

But if you don’t own it it just is anticipated profit.

Plus you have to go to everyone that ever trusted you and tell them that you sold their livliehood.

It’s a horrible feeling. I can be retired right now and I owe nobody anything, but it does bother me.

If i could have done it again, I think I would have done it better.

lazzzlo said:

I’m saying the interest paid, semi-annually on $2.3 million was 4% for 10 years. Then I took my 2.3 million and invested it in slower stocks, bonds and hard assets. I have never lost a nickel, and have had many tax free municipals for years, most are 25 year bonds that still pay interest on the par value for the life of the investment, but I no longer have any assessment bonds. Are you an investor?

lazzzlo said:

I pay no mortgage and as few income taxes as I can. That is why muni’s were the way to go. I have not seen much problem, unless the states go broke. I do not keep all my eggs in one portfolio, and have a new interest in hard assets. It is a buyers market, thank you 0bama., but that does not help the economy.

I had a post but apparently it got lost. I also do not pay for real property other than taxes.

What I had posted was that I didn’t invest recklessly and always assured myself of a return with some good stock.

Over 25+ years, I’ve made very good money.

And I do not owe anyone anything.

That was my point…I can retire right now.

I was a capitalist pig.

lazzzlo said:

Do you have a wife? I just got a reminder that I do. Fun as they are, they are bossy as hell sometimes.

Haha! She divorced me!

It’s not that bad, but yeah.

I’m not saying it was the prettiest way of doing it.

I did set up a college fund for my step daughter and she gets all the money when she turns 26 which is coming up quick.

There is a fund for my step daughter which was not tied to any marital legalese, that my step daughter gets, I think in 2014…she was born in 1988.

Keith Olbermann was my favorite news show… I’m so glad to hear the news of his return and I will again be a fan… Smile :-)

The most popular show on Current TV is “KILL IT, COOK IT, EAT IT” oh yeah KO will finally be able to use his AG degree. Way to go Keith!

“Olbermann described it as “an improved and amplified” version of Countdown.”

Well, KeithO, it couldn’t get any worse or any louder….[oops, maybe now he'll scream instead of shouting...]
