    Zylos, for the love of God....

    While we all appreciate your enthusiasm on the topic - and that topic is Keith Olbermann - please try to focus. We're trying to talk about Keith Olbermann, his politics, his battle with O'Reilly, etc., not meat subsidies, focus groups, or the White Stripes. Try to focus that energy on the matter at hand, not inane asides....

    My question: Keith Olbermann vs. Bill O'Reilly, but with a twist. Keith gets to team up with Dan Patrick, O'Reilly gets Batman (Adam West). Keith has a hockey stick, Dan a baseball bat. O'Reilly has no weapons (seriously, he's like 6'7" or something already) and Batman has his standard gear (utility belt). No prep for either side, fight takes place in an abandoned warehouse.
