Little Ditty About Zach and Diane

Ok, first I need to address the title of this post. This post is actually about Zach Braff and Keith Olbermann, so sorry if you were really excited to read about someone named Diane (who would I possibly be blogging about with the name Diane.....hmmm, maybe Diane Keaton? By the way, is she related to either Michael and/or Buster of the same last name? Interesting...I just realized that this has turned into a post about someone named Diane. I'm good!). Here we go...
  • If you're familiar with my blog, you may have already checked out the Zach Braff blog link on the right side of the page. Well, the link is still there, but it's the NEW AND IMPROVED Zach Braff blog (his original blog was really just for his Garden State movie and then it became so big he just kept on updating it). His new blog is really great, with tons of stuff to keep you laughing. Plus, there is an EXCLUSIVE trailer for his upcoming movie The Last Kiss which comes out this fall; it actually looks pretty good, with a lot of good actors and a Garden State-esque feel to it. Check it out! [By the way, I have to point out that on Zach Braff's first video blog he discusses the greatness that is challa bread, something I pointed out months ago in this very blog!]
  • It's summer time (actually it's still spring...just play along), so there's not too much on TV to really care about...enter Keith Olbermann. Olbermann is the host of MSNBC's Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann (you have to appreciate any show that is brave enough to use a slash mark in their title...or is that a backslash? hmmmmm.....), one of the most entertaining hour-long news shows on all of the news networks. Basically, the show consists of Olberman counting down the top five stories of the day, using the usual news show methods: expert interviews, media clips, commentary,etc. However, he also adds a healthy dose of mockery through the use of hilariously inappropriate sound clips and chaotic behavior (i.e. throwing his stack of papers up in the air before going to commercial because he's so disgusted he has to talk about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes). Plus, he also finds Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, and their kind to be soulless, hypocritical, sub-human beings. Simply put, if you like Al Franken and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Keith Olbermann is the 'mann' for you!

Keith Olbermann has been the "mann" ever since he was on Sportscenter. Countdown just verifies that.
