ABOUT ZEITGEIST

Willie Geist has maintained since 1996 that the Internet, like the automobile and the television before it, is a fad. He gets his information from microfiche at the public library and communicates with friends through the good old-fashioned United States Postal Service, thank you very much.

So then why is he blogging? Two words: community service. After an ugly incident at his weekly Sudoku game, Willie was sentenced to speak to young people about anger management. He heard that "young people" looked at the Internet, so the blog became his punishment. It's Willie's way of giving back.

In Zeitgeist, you'll find the kind of expert analysis of news and pop culture that has made Willie one of the most beloved figures in American life today (you can look it up). You'll also get raw, behind-the-scenes footage from MSNBC. You'll even get to talk back to Willie. So give the blog a try and catch the Internet fad before it's gone for good.

Welcome Back. Saw Lucie on Morning Joe this morning. CUTE!! Nice to have the Argentinian child star back on T.V.
Re: Early Christmas at Ford Theater

Willie,

You wondered why the June filming.I assume it's because Washington Post reported a few wks back that the theater would soon close for a few years for infrastructure update. Given that this annual event is broadcast in December, it would be a shame to have the public forget about Ford Theater for too long a period, so one last Christmas event was probably a strategic marketing decision. No first hand knowledge but I was surprised that the Washington MSNBC crew didn't jump in and make that point.

Congratulations on Lucy. Hope she's inherited your great and dry sense of humor. You are my favorite pre dinner "voice" on tv.

The dry cleaning case shouldn't even have made it as far as it did.  What a joke.... and waste of tax payers money!  The lawyer should have taken the "all expense" paid agreement to fly to korea and get a new expensive suit!!!!   The small business owners win finally against bullies!  "GO HANKOOK"
Not only should Roy Pearson pay the court cost, but he should also be held responsible for any and all fees incurred by Mr. and Mrs. Chung.  I also vote for disbarrment!  How does one get that started!!
About time this was settled.
I'm so glad you and Tucker are back. As much as I enjoy being lectured to by the rampant ramblings of ageing wind bag Lou Dobbs, this liberal is glad to see well articulated conservatism that doesn't take it self to seriously back on television. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, and please congratulate Tucker on managing to be one of the few people who actually manage to make their job more secure by going on vacation.
we're so glad you're back on morning joe and tucker.
we've all missed you :]
Absurdities like this can only happen in the US. The Judge( customer) should have been disbarred and sent to jail for at least a few weeks

The judge should be removed from the court..What kind of example does he set for future frivolous plaintiffs! I agree steps need to be made to get rid of me.
That case should have been thrown out immediately.Furthermore the lawyer should be disbarred and required to pay punitive damages to the owners of the drycleaners for their suffering.
