Laugh More in 2011

Here, I'll get you started. Who knew that Keith Olbermann, the all-purpose crazy liberal smarty pants stereotype du jour, is a funny guy with the resources to find hilarious driving videos from all over the world and the goodness to share them with us on his show? Well, now we all do, because Mother discovered them for us. You're welcome. Would you like to see a few? The nice folks at NBC have kindly made that possible by creating an online video setup that makes it easy to select and share clips (for the low, low price of watching an ad or two and overlooking the odd labels), bless their little pointed heads. Thank you, NBC! So if you don't mind laughing at the misfortunes of other drivers (and who does, really?), go ahead and enjoy these recent selections ...

Remember, driving is an important thing not to do while texting, but not the only thing. I hate to say I told her so, but I believe I did, quite some time ago (Have I issued a commandment lately?). Enough said.

Update and post: 1/24
Well, that was fun. And now that I've got you all looking forward to video treats from Keith Olbermann, I'm stuck giving you the bad news that he quit on Friday. Sorry! I didn't mean to disappoint you, and thought about just letting this post waste away in the drafts folder, but I did promise you a few laughs, didn't I? And hey, we're tough enough to handle a future without Keith Olbermann's funny videos, right? Right!

So long, Keith, and thanks for all the fish.
