Keith Olbermann the Motivation Behind the Brian Brawdy Show

Published on July 15th, 2010

The very first time I contemplated my own news commentary show, the thought came to me immediately following a viewing of the Keith Olbermann Show on MSNBC. Setting the remote down, I shook my head and thought aloud, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” My countdown was on. Starting July, 24th (originally the 22nd) I will be streaming via the web The Brian Brawdy Show.

My goal? To gain as many web viewers as Mr. Olbermann has Nielsen numbers. Plain and simple.

Granted, I don’t have “an Ivy League education” like my competition. I went to West Virginia University, and though I did major in Political Science, I spent more time at the Blue Tick Tavern practicing quarter bounce than attending class, so my stay was short lived. I think I have 6 whole credit hours with a minor in french fries and blu cheese. Clearly, I’m overly qualified for the job at hand and I am so excited to start piling up the numbers, but I will need your help. Your suggestions, critiques and viewership are most certainly welcome.

You might also consider the latest dust-up on The Daily Caller. Seems Tucker Carlson and the DC crew now own KeithOlbermann.com and my main media rival isn’t happy.

This is going to be a blast!

That said, challenging Mr. Olbermann is just a side note.

Centering on “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” in every day ways, the Brian Brawdy Show, full of attitude without apology  focuses on breaking news, commentary, political analysis and techniques for surviving and thriving in a world where freedom and liberty are waning. With roughly 70,000 pages added to the Federal Register every year, enacted laws, rules and codes are encroaching upon our liberties at every level of government and at an alarming rate.

I’ve always focused on wilderness and emergency survival, I just never thought circumstances would necessitate becoming a political survival expert as well. The 21st Century and the current political climate changed all of that.

As the countdown continues, please feel free and encouraged to…

    OK, man! Let's give this a shot. You will only need 4 more viewers to top Keith Olberman anyway! The dude is a total wack job! He actually seems to like Rachel Maddow, too…Oh, that's right, birds of a feather…(read losers)
