The Sufferable Ass

I wish that the rest of the media had Keith Olbermann’s understanding of history. Tonight he delivered a powerful rebuke of the Secretary of Defense’s recent remarks to the American Legion, hitting all the right notes. Click here and take just a few minutes to watch the video.

I’ve discovered a weird glitch in NetNewsWire, where some linked text simply doesn’t display in the newsreader layout, though links do display on the original site and in other RSS readers. I’m posting example pictures here in case anyone has any insight into why this might be.

I use the Ollicle Flex theme, though NNW exhibits the same behavior regardless of the theme selected.

Here’s a screenshot from NNW, from a post on The Year of Coffee blog:

Here’s another example from Media Matters:

The NNW view panel drops all the links in these two paragraphs, as you can clearly see from the following screenshot of the live site:

Now, it’s fun to kind of play MadLibs and make up my own words to fill in the blanks, but I’d really like to know why my favorite Mac newsreader is dropping links.

Any thoughts?
