And now, a WWJD public service announcement....
This will serve as official notification that as of today, and henceforth, WWJD will be a completely Bill O'Reilly-free zone. Why, you might ask? Well, it's frankly because I'm sick to death of devoting column inches to the stunning arrogance and ignorance of such a (&^%$#@ moron, that's why. Being an @$$hole is not something that should get you reams of free publicity, and I'm tired of contributing to the feeding frenzy and thus (in a sick sort of way) validating the vapidity and simplistic emotional appeals that flow from his obsequious countenance during the 8PM ET hour.
I believe in holding strong opinions. Lord knows I'm guilty of that from time to time myself. Merely holding a strong opinion means nothing if you cannot support it...and O'Reilly's idea of conducting an intelligent and informed debate is shouting down his opponents, cutting off their mikes, and/or ridiculing those who arguments he can't refute. It's ignorant, it's pointless, and I'm sick of acknowledging it. Therefore, from today forward (or until I lose my resolve when O'Reilly once again goes completely off the reservation), I'm off this gravy train. There are plenty of places you can go for your Papa-Bear-as-complete-dumb@$$ fix (Keith Olbermann, f'rinstance), but I'm sick of acknowledging a moron who, if there was any justice in this world, wouldn't be allowed to manage a Dairy Queen.
Enough already. I want to talk about things- and people- that matter.
