Guess this is the new definition of 'indefinite'. So, if someone is indefinitely suspended from their job, can we fight to get it back after less than a week?
MSNBC brings back suspended anchor Keith Olbermann
Suspended liberal anchor Keith Olbermann will return to the MSNBC lineup on Tuesday, four days after the cable news network suspended him for giving money to three Democratic politicians.
MSNBC said in a statement on Sunday that Olbermann had been punished enough off for violating parent company NBC News' policy against making such donations without prior approval.

Keith Olbermann, host of "Countdown with Keith OLbermann", takes part in the NBC News Decision '08 panel at the NBC Universal summer press tour in Beverly Hills, California July 21, 2008.
"After several days of deliberation and discussion, I have determined that suspending Keith through and including Monday night's program is an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy. We look forward to having him back on the air Tuesday night," MSNBC president Phil Griffin said.
The controversy arose when Olbermann revealed to the website Politico that he had contributed $2,400 each to Jack Conway, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Kentucky, and to two members of the House of Representatives from Arizona, Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords.
Olbermann is clearly a liberal partisan on his show "Countdown With Keith Olbermann," in which he often takes issue with comments made by conservative media figures such as radio host Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly of Fox News -- often by attempting to imitate their voices while reading back their own words.
But he evidently was subject to the same ethics standards that apply to NBC News journalists, and MSNBC suspended him indefinitely without pay on Friday.
In the November 2 elections, Conway lost to Rand Paul, a Republican backed by the conservative Tea Party movement. Grijalva and Giffords won their tight races. Grijalva said in a statement on Friday that MSNBC had "overreacted," and that Olbermann had made his contributions as a private citizen.
Olbermann has helped make MSNBC something of a liberal alternative to Fox News, which is decidedly conservative, and MSNBC has featured the former sports anchor in promos.

[ In Reply To ..]They can make a show of holding his feet to the fire, however...in the grand scheme of things, what little ratings they have he is a large part of it. It's the old cutting off your nose to spite your face. That almighty buck. You know, right, that MSNBC is one of those big evvillll corporations after the almighty buck...lol.

Message To My Fellow Dog LoversJul 30, 2011
I am writing this to hopefully prevent someone else from feeling the pain that I feel or your beloved pet from suffering unnecessarily. My 8-year-old golden retriever became ill this past week. I googled her symptoms and it led me to a condition called pyometra which I had never heard of. She didn't quite fit the criteria for that so I assumed she had a stomach virus. I tried to make her comfortable and take care of her myself but she wasn't getting any better.& ...

I don't know if any of the other neighbors feed them or not, and it will make me sick if I see them starving. What to do? Sometimes there are ...

The 1st one I did the whole treatment, surgery, biopsy, blood titers, fluconazole (150 bucks a month for a year), cost me over $2000. She got better, but about 6 months later, it came back and I could not afford to treat her anymore. I put all that cost on my credit cards. Well fast forward, I now have another cat with the same thing. Saw the vet (different one) and he wants to do a biops ...

The new poll also has the distinction of having come just as Clinton's use of a private e-mail account during her time as secret ...
