I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted when I post this 2-3 minute clip from Ellen's show last Friday. Aside from wondering if anyone actually watches TV the old-fashioned way – at an appointed time, for the entire show – I just thought as many people should see this as possible.

Here is not-very-political Ellen spending a few precious minutes of her sponsored air time giving her heart-felt opinion about the murder of 15 year old Lawrence King. Bless her for just being there … but also for having guts and gumption. Not easy in a product placement, paid air-time kinda universe.
