Stefanovic: I am never going back into the water.
Wilkinson: Me neither. No way.
Stefanovic: That’s it. That’s the biggest thing I’ve ever seen.
Wilkinson: Stuff summer.
Stefanovic: No, let’s go to the local pool… Look at the size of that thing!
Holy shitballs that thing is huge!
I have never been to Australia, but I did live in Hawaii for a year while going to college.
My favorite pastime was snorkeling which I did every chance I could get.
But the thing was that every time I saw a school of fish I heard this in my head "Duuun dun duuun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun BOM BOM dun dun dun dun dun dun doo dedoo doo dedoo dede doo dede doo dededoo."(For those who don't read music.)
And that freaked me out so much that I would start to panic a little and invariably it sent me swimming back toward shore convinced that at any minute I was going to feel one of my legs get ripped right off.
If I had seen a shark like the one in the video, I would never have even washed my hands in the sink again.

MSNBC seems to subtly have promoted Rachel Maddow from cable show host to news anchor. Conservatives not exactly thrilled.
ANNOUNCER: Meet Rachel. She’s a NEWS ANCHOR with a big personality.
She’s smart, funny and passionate. But we’re about to find out what
happens when she gets serious:
RACHEL MADDOW: This is a story of legitimate wrongdoing on a big scale.
MADDOW: Nope, that’s made up. Not true.
MADDOW: If we’re not going to ask these questions now then when exactly are we going to ask them?
ANNOUNCER: From MSNBC, The Rachel Maddow Show, weeknight’s at 9.
Okay so that's the promo, which I like, but I have to admit the change of title did not even catch my attention.
Did it catch yours?
Well it certainly caught the attention of some people:
You won’t likely see MSNBC host Rachel Maddow filling in for Brian Williams on “NBC Nightly News.” While Maddow is usually described as the “host” of a cable news show, she is rarely called a “news anchor.” Her own NBC bio describes her as a “host”–and never even uses the word “journalist.”
So it’s worth noting that a new MSNBC promo flips the script, describing Maddow as a “news anchor with a big personality. She’s smart, funny and passionate.” Conservative critics immediately jumped on the promo, noting that previous “Lean Forward” promos for MSNBC included hosts like Maddow talking about their passion for progressive issues. “Given the MSNBC host’s long track record of pushing her agenda it’s hard to imagine anyone seriously considering Rachel Maddow anything more than a liberal commentator with a cable news show,” writes Jeffrey Meyer at NewsBusters.
You know I would agree that Rachel is a liberal, I think that it obvious to everybody.
However if she has an "agenda" it is that facts are important, and that they, not political agendas, should determine if a story is newsworthy or not.
It is not her fault that facts tend to have a liberal bias.
Whenever I am asked by anyone who is the most trusted voice on any topic in the news I do not even hesitate to say "Rachel Maddow." I have a lot of respect for Lawrence O'Donnell, and many others on MSNBC, but my go to host, I'm sorry news anchor, is ALWAYS Rachel.
Some have even compared her to the great Edward R. Murrow, and I think that is a perfectly reasonable and appropriate comparison.
There are those who want to argue that MSNBC's low ratings indicate that none of the hosts are terribly impressive, but I would say that is mostly the fault of marketing and has nothing to do with Rachel's reporting.
In my personal opinion Rachel Maddow is the most trusted voice in news today. And I think it is high time she is recognized for that.

Methinks that somebody's hiatus from Fox News just became permanent.
Courtesy of Gawker:
Remember the middle-aged Fox News anchor who was arrested while intoxicated at an airport bar in St. Paul, Minnesota? You may have even seen Gregg Jarrett’s mugshot floating around last month. Now you can watch the (bizarrely rough) jailhouse altercation that put him in county jail.
The video above was taken by the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport’s dedicated police department, which originally detained Jarrett on May 21 after he was reported for erratic behavior by an airport bartender. The department recently released the video to Gawker under Minnesota’s Freedom of Information Act.
The surveillance footage shows Jarrett getting into an argument with a helmet-wearing cop named Mark Dorsey. After Jarrett protests his detention and calls Dorsey a “fucking stupid ass,” Dorsey approaches Jarrett, who stand ups and gets in Dorsey’s face. Dorsey then grabs the anchor, presses him up against a nearby wall, and slams him into the holding cell’s bench. It’s pretty rough stuff.
I had reported on this earlier and made the comment that I was not sure how you could NOT have a substance abuse problem and still work at Fox News, and now after watching this, and seeing Jarrett lose it on the air, it certainly does appear as if Jarrett does indeed have a substantial problem with alcohol.
I actually feel badly for him, as I come from a family where this kind of behavior is common place. In fact if somebody doesn't fall to the ground in s drunk stupor it's just not Christmas.
I just hope he gets the help that he needs before he ends up in a far worse situation. Though according to the police report Jarrett had just been released from “an alcohol/chemical dependency treatment facility” so maybe that is not an option for Mr. Jarrett.
