Ya got me! O'Reilly can bite!

As we popular women of the night do: I was sitting here listening to O'Reilly tonight (caught me!).

The topic was legalization of pot.

It was like listening to Reefer Madness and I was ashamed for the guy.

In 1969----------Yes! That long ago. I had a prof who taught Eng. 101 while his Dad headed the Law Dept of Penn State. We all thought it beyond ironic when his son wrote a Penn State Newspaper article with all the stats comparing smoking vs. drinking............apparently the Admin did not.

As it happened, I was in both their classes which only simmered the "pot"...sorry.

Anyway, as I remember it, pot smoking had an entirely different stat than drinking and their ROI was significant.

Whatever, O'Reilly sounded like an ardvark (no, I love, ardvarks) but he was not with it and totally out of sync.


Then again: like Chrissy pointed out in another thread, it can be easily be what the media "encourages" us to believe.

Perhaps my younger Daughter is correct in labeling herself as a social liberal, but fiscal conservative?


Or.........Libertarian

O'Reilly can bite my *&%$## . . . . . arrogant and small minded.

KH, I think it all boils down to us all keeping open minds and speaking out when we know we've goofed.

I lost a tremendous amount of respect for O'Reilly tonight. Not that it really matters, but thought, I'd fess up.

You know someone told me the other day that he was loosing his followers. I had no reply to it, because im not one of them.

The thing about him is occassionally i find him snobbish and what a lot of people here may not believe is that he does not pander to the right as much as some would have you believe. He has pissed me off more than once, specially last few months.

But like you Stormy, I do find my self plopped on the couch or where ever and catch him every now and then.

at the very least, he beats chris matthews, and that aint saying much lol

I guess that is what can make him both interesting while annoying. He's pi--zed me off more than once, as well.

Rather have my teeth cleaned than watch ole CM!

Gotta improve our social life, girl!

uuhhggg Stormy, to be honest I really dont like many people. Perhaps there is something wrong with me but knowing my own mind and self, i typically find most people to be shallow, selfish and crooked.

I have to get up everyday and put on dress cloths and a painted on smile because I must cmpete in this world if I want any kind of decent life for my family. If i had my way Id live up in the hills, wearing holy jeans and letting my toenails grow out.

sometimes I get stuck in front of the tv with stuff like this on when no one is watching it anyway. Its usually because I am too tired to move, and in reality, i see it, but Im not really paying attention to it anyway.

I usually read and search for my own news anyway, one that fits my way of how I see it. Or at least shapes it.

I doubt i will ever be more social than I am. Ive seen too many evil sides of people and at this point in my life just getting the job done, coming home to deal with the reality of my crazy family is about all I can handle. I will make the occasional outting out with other people just for lifes sake, but really all of it is overrated to me as I see life as a perception of what i want it to be.

Sometimes I imagine Im a guru of spiritial being, and that feels nice for a bit, then sometimes i am a sexual goddess, and that feels nice for a bit. Then sometimes Im just a granny and momma or a scientist theorizing facts and data of what can be or ould have been etc.

at the end of the day though, I am always me. Just a little girl in a big world seeking love and smiles while beating back the wolves.

Huggles.......

I like Bill. I understand he has an act to run on his show. However, if you watch him and Stewart debate in real time.....it is no accident that these two men have popular shows. I find him patronizing and small at times, but I understand he is in show biz......I do like it when he has courage.....but that is rare. His intelligence however cannot be masked by the act.....and that intelligence is worthy of viewing when he is debating someone......even if I disagree with his position, and even when I know it is an act.

He's no match for Stewart. Stewart makes him look like a fool.

IMHO, many, if not most of us feel like that, Chrissie.

Go back to your happy thread!!!

Give me a break! What bullshit!

I've been listen to Riley's reefer madness talk for years. He is by far the most ignorant person on the topic of marijuana of any individual I've ever seen on television.
I find myself listening to him with embarrasment for him.
But of course his "folks" are hanging on every word because they're just as ignorant about marijuana as he is.

I don't watch his show, but whenever I have, I see that he literally reads to the audience what is posted on the adjacent screen. I guess he has many deaf viewers...or something. He may be very intelligent, but it's more like crafty and sneaky.

Just a babe in the woods...with a mouth like a drunken sailor.

Bill O'Reilly appears to be banking on the saying about how if you repeat a lie often enough, it will be believed. Last week, in his second attempt, via his hired stalker Jesse Watters, O'Reilly tried to paint Hawaii, the home state of President Obama, as a "libertine" state full of mixed race people getting free stuff. In his video tutorial, Watters claimed that Hawaii has the highest rate of food stamp usage. That was wrong. Friday night, Bill O'Reilly began his segment, "exposing Hawaii's liberalism," with the same allegation about how Hawaii ranks "number one in food stamps." Once again, that's incorrect - at least according to the Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal. Is O'Reilly merely misinformed or is he lying to push his twisted agenda? Is he, as Senator Al Franken used to say, pulling facts out of his ass?

The information regarding food stamps usage is readily available and if O'Reilly availed himself to it, he would find out that Hawaii ranks 35th from the bottom while a bunch of conservative states are in the top 10 - something never brought up by O'Reilly as that might cut the buzz of his message that liberals are the only ones who want free stuff. So we don't know if he's deliberately lying or just misinformed - which seems odd for somebody who presents as somebody in control of the facts. One thing's for certain, as Jon Stewart says of O'Reilly - he's full of shit!

Thanks. That is all I was trying to say.
