Keith Olbermann: Genius

Keith Olbermann, he of huge intellect, dry sense of humor, and many many jobs, is one of the funniest guys in journalism. His current endeavor, Countdown on MSNBC, is definitely worth checking out, even if you don't agree with his politics.

Olbermann has recently written an article for the online version of MSNBC which spells out his thoughts on how the Harry Potter series will end (the 7th and final book comes out in just about a month).

I won't go into the details of Keith's prediction, as it sure sounds plausible to me (even though I have read none of the books or seen any of the movies) and it just might turn out to be true. Instead, I'd like to quote Olbermann's closing paragraphs:

Of course, there is one other option for that big finish.

Harry, Ron and Hermione enter a diner. They order Butter Beer and onion
rings. Voldemort is sitting at the lunch counter, marking time. Outside, Ron’s
sister, Ginny, is having a hell of a time parallel parking, even though she’s
using her wand. And just then the door to the diner opens and Harry Potter looks
up and—the last 11 pages of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” are freaking
blank.

That, my friends, is genius!
