It was almost a week ago that I posted here about Keith Olbermann's naming of Wal-Mart as "Worst Person in the World," and his threat to continue to do so until Wal-Mart "atones."

After a week of bludgeoning, Wal-Mart apparently had enough yesterday, dropped its claim against the brain-damaged former employee and changed its policy.

How do I know? I wrote the story this morning.

My ultimate take on this one, from an e-mail to Mark Ragan upon turning the story in: "No heroes in this story, and not a lot of subtleties in it either. Just a clumsy company and the clumsy media getting it on, and watching to see how it all shakes out."
