When will Keith Olbermann cease to count down the days since Bush declared "Mission Accomplished"?

Kudos to macdust for the suggestion of this question.

RE: percentages. Difficult for me to apply. 5% before because he may defer to Obama's pending inauguration and Bush's lame duckedness (?!) in the days leading up to the Inauguration. 50% on Inauguration Day because the whole shtick maybe was only a slam at Bush. 45% after Inauguration Day because it's being used as heat to get the Commander In Chief to remove troops from Iraq.

Great question, paul, but (and sorry about this), how is cease officially defined? If you smoke every day, but then
say stop on day 100, did you cease on day 99, or on day 100? Because one might say you ceased on day 99, and didn't do it after that. Do you have a definition for this? thx, ken

I'm not sure your example is quite the same since the cessation of smoking could happen any time over the period of 24 hours. He will either say it or not, and if not, that will be the day it ceased. My concern is what to do if he doesn't do it on Inauguration Day, out of respect or whatever, and picks it back up the day after. Thoughts?

As I said, great question. The settlement may present difficulties however, as you say. Nevertheless, I would hope that what you are saying does not happen. Perhaps, you might want to say how such an event would settle, so we would know...

We'll go with the first day he DOESN'T say it. So in your smoking example, it would be day 100. It won't matter if it starts again the next day.

who watches bloberman to see when he doesn't say it? i think he has 3 viewers so i'm guessing the admin is one.

paul - out of respect? when did bloberman show any respect?

this flame throwing is fun..i need some practice to reach the level of dragonfang or cons2.

Thanks for adding something constructive, dieseldog. I get the feeling you're fat.

paul - your welcome.
