So did Keith Olbermann change his sign off?
The last few days, he hasn't said his usual homage to Edward R. Murrow - "Good night, and good luck". Did I miss something?

1. He Also Doesn't Use The Fat Jumping Rush Video When He Talks......
about Rush now. I used to like seeing that because I knew it infuriated Rush. Bring it back Keith. Rush won't stay thin if he knows your not going to use that clip anymore.

2. I know it infuriates Rush...
and that would be reason enough to air the clip, but, personally, I don't care for it. There are just some things Rush shouldn't do and that's undulate in a fat and sweaty manner. ick.

3. KO used another famous sign off last night.
At the end of last night's show Keith signed off by saying, "So long, until tomorrow." This is how the legendary journalist Lowell Thomas ended his broadcasts. If you saw the film Lawrence Of Arabia, the reporter who follows Lawrence and makes him world famous is based on Lowell Thomas.

4. You didn't miss anything he's mentioned in public about why he's doing this.
Even us faithful KOEB viewers of the show didn't catch him saying anything about deliberately changing to other signoffs. But it's true--last night he said "So long until tomorrow," and the night before he said "Go forth and spread peace and light."

No idea what's going on--it seems to be an inside joke.
