It's Been A While
Since I could say... That I wasn't addicted and... Okay, I'll stop.

Sorry about the lack of posts as of late. The phone line here at home went haywire, and it took a full four days for the phone company to get off their butts and fix it. And the school's filtering system has the entire Otaku domain blocked out (unreasonably), so...

But anyways, I think Bill O'Reilly is still a friggin' idiot. Here's the reason this time around.

Basically, for those of us who prefer not to partake a straight dose of O'Reilly, Bill's going on another "US GOOD, ANYWHERE ELSE BAAAAHD" spiel. But when he gets on Canada, he goes haywire!

"Over the past two decades, Canada has become committed to secularism and government entitlements. Subsidized medical care, decriminalization of marijuana, gay marriage, extensive welfare for newly arrived immigrants and an aggressively liberal Canadian Broadcasting Company have all become part of the culture. The eastern Canadian press is especially anti-American, and delights in hammering their more traditional American neighbors. "

Gasp! Giving more rights to new citizens!? Allowing homosexuals the same rights as everybody else!? Making medical care more accessible!? FOR SHAME! Seriously, though, Bill really rubs me the wrong way. He pimps himself as "Fair and Balanced", but he's obviously right-wing biased. I wouldn't mind if he said he was right-wing, but he lies about it and says he's impartial! >_< KHAAAAAN!

And then he goes on a self-important "I'm gonna change the world!" tangent.

"On my television program, I have advised the Canadian government that if the deserters are not returned post-haste, I will no longer buy Canadian products or visit the country. I believe many Americans will take the same stance." Way to go, Bill. Very humble of you. You're a news reporter, not a valued member of the Canadian government! You're not even Canadian! Why must you try and force another country to conform to your (stupid, moronic, biased, I could go on forever) ways!? Again, bah humbug.

Also, on his FOXNews.com site, Bill supplied us with some more aspects of his... intriguing wordlview.

"The U.S.A. is now fighting a war unlike any other. All of us are in danger. Politicians who believe that terrorists are entitled to constitutional guarantees and Geneva Convention protections are heightening that danger."

Oh, but that's something he always says. However, he soon breaks out the fearmongering.

"Theory and rhetoric are useless when somebody's trying to kill your family. Let's be honest. There are thousands of terrorists, mostly Islamic fascists, who would kill you and your children in a heartbeat."

Remember, everybody. The terrorists are aiming DIRECTLY AT YOUR HOUSE! Don't forget to stock up on that LIFE-SAVING DUCT TAPE!!!

In conclusion, despite all his claims, Bill O'Reilly is far from a humble, non-aligned working man. Here's one last bit of evidence.

"And on a couple of other fronts, your humble correspondent, that's me, will be featured on the CBS program "Judging Amy" tomorrow night."

That's right, Bill. Every American factory worker, lawyer, and teacher has appeared on national television at least once.

Yes, I am a cynical, liberally-minded person.
