Quote Unquote: Bill O'Reilly's War on Reason

Bill O'Reilly on why Christmas displays in public buildings are constitutionally sound…

.

"It is a fact that Christianity is not a religion, it is a philosophy."

.

It's also a fact that Bill O'Reilly doesn't understand the definition of the word "fact" any better than he understands the definitions of the words "religion" or "philosophy."

Bill O'Reilly Doesn't Understand Gangnam Style

Taking a break from reporting on the War on Christmas (and ignoring the war in Syria), Bill O'Reilly decided to start a war on people feeling joy. He brought a psychiatrist in to explain Gangnam Style's popularity.

"The most popular music apparently is that without intelligible words." Is Keith Ablow saying the Korean language  does not contain any intelligible words? Because if so, that's exactly why I hate French music too. Use some real words, Edith Piaf!

The only part of the Psy phenomenon a psychiatrist would have any insight into is his use of the silent "P." Asking a psychiatrist to explain Gangnam Style is like asking Bill O'Reilly to explain journalism. It's completely unrelated to their job.

Quote Unquote: Bill O'Reilly's Apology

Bill O'Reilly ensures a doubtful guest that the Affordable Care Act would be stricken down by the Supreme Court…

.

"If Im wrong, I will come on and I will play your clip and I will apologize for being an idiot.”

.

And here is that unprecedented apology from O'Reilly, reprinted in its entirety…

.

"      

                                     "

.

It's heartening to see that he is indeed a man of his word.

From the Pork Barrel: Mexicali Blues

* Looks like Barack Obama may have received donations from a people who turned out to be refugees hiding in Mexico. If I were Mitt Romney, I'd be really mad at my family.

* Michael Steele does not "appreciate" gay marriage being compared to interracial marriage. Political leaders these days, they don't "appreciate" anything.

* Bill O'Reilly: "The bigotry against pro-life people is I think way more than the bigotry against gay people." He may be right; even reason seems to be in opposition to his people.

* Tonight's primary in Missouri is a completely meaningless relic of bygone days. Which, come to think of it, probably goes a long way toward explaining Rick Santorum's dominance there.
