BREAKING NEWS: Bill O'Reilly Has Become Easier To Make Fun Of Than The Fat Kid In High School Who Wears Dracula Capes

This is old news in most circles, but I just had to take aim at Bill O'Reilly's latest bon mot. His new book "Culture Warrior" is just the latest in his selfless fight in a war that no one has ever heard of or has any concern about. Here is a quote from the Random House synopsis:

"Bill O’Reilly is the very embodiment of the idea of a Culture Warrior—and in this book he lives up to the title brilliantly, with all the brashness and forthrightness at his command. He sees that America is in the midst of a fierce culture war between those who embrace traditional values and those who want to change America into a “secular-progressive” country. This is a conflict that differs in many ways from the usual liberal/conservative divide, but it is no less heated, and the stakes are even higher."

How about that last sentence? The stakes are even higher! There's nothing more important going on right now in our lives than some imagined affront by fag-lib-hippies on "American Values."

Forget about how you feel about Bill O'Reilly politically for a second and just think about how truly conspicuous his tactics are. He just has to break things down to war.

There can be no nuanced debate or meeting of the minds when it comes to things like societal differences. Nor can there be from the extreme right, as can happen with the left (check out the Dali Llama), any sense of conducting yourself however you feel appropriate and staying out of everyone else's business.

I just can not stand it when over payed clowns (i.e. Actors, Sports Stars, Pundits) start really buying there own bullshit. Oh, and Bill, lose the RUG and the windbreaker!
