O'Reilly

Who really cares or listen to this lamebrained f**ks mudslinger? He is mentally perfectly fitted to the great warmongering decider, which does not say much about his intellect.

My Dark Lord is quite happy

when he sees all the pagan trees that are erected in his honor.

All Hail His Evilness!!!

(of course, I'm referring to Bill-O)

The "war", over?

The president closed his press conference with "Happy Holidays" today.

Will Mr. O'Reilly mention that on his broadcast?

I bet not.

It's really kind of funny

What O'Reilly has done is turned "Merry Christmas" into a right-wing political statement. It's actually funny now seeing the people that Bill has convinced of the validity of the "War on Christmas" - using a well-wishing statement to you, with a sneer of hostility and anger. It's become the equivalent of saying "Have a nice day", with no sarcasm, while punching someone in the face.

As a card carrying "SP", I'm not offended when someone says Merry Christmas. I like it a little bit more when someone says "Happy Holidays". I guess that translates as furious in Bill's world.

there were no victors, apparently

to tell the truth, I haven't had a sales clerk wish me happy anything

so far this season. doesn't seem to stop them from running my credit card though.

The Right-Wing War on New Year's Eve

I always thought "Happy Holidays" was an abbreviated way of saying Merry Christmas (Happy Hannakuh) and Happy New Year. So why do right-wing religious conservatives like Bill Oh Really? hate New Year's Eve/Day?

A War on...

Personally, I'd like to see a 'War on Tacky Christmas' sweaters and earrings. Have you seen some of them?? That's the evil we should be fighting....

Festive Festivus to everyone!

Felicitous Festivus, Everyone!

When reality fails to conform 100% with Bill O's worldview, he is indeed furious. (Take a look at how he reacts when someone stands up to him with facts and logic). He simply assumes that the "SP's" are the same. For my own part, I can think of nothing so funny as Christians celebrating the Christmas in the exact same manner (trees, gifts, drunkenness) as the Romans did Saturnalia. So "Merry Christmas" and "Io, Saturnalia" to all of you! May your corn grow tall and heavy!

O'Reilly Wages War on the Christmas Spirit

The only real grinch in Christmas is O'Reilly himself, who has felt compelled to turn this wonderful holiday into a "war." I am not a Christian, but have always enjoyed and celebrated the spirit of

Christmas, and would love to continue to do so without the constant caterwauling of demagogues like O'Reilly.

Wednesday, December 20, 2006 11:18 AM

I still have the Christmas Spirit! :-)

I'm going to send B.O. Reilly a nice new loofah for Christmas! Surely by now he must have hired another production assistant with a nice bod.

Holiday = "Holy Day"

Bill, if you were a little more educated (I'm asking the near impossible), you would know that.

It reminds me of a woman I once worked with who fought me tooth and nail for putting "Xmas" on a banner instead of Christmas. "X" stood for Satan, according to her. Of course, X was the Greek symbol for Christ; but I couldn't make her believe me.

Ah, the stubborness of those wishing to believe absolutely the worst at all times. . .

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Hmmm

It's hard to lose a fight when you're the only participant. Good job, Bill. You defeated phantoms dwelling in the black pit on your own mind.

Bill O'Dildo: The Ladies' Man

"If any women breathed a word I’d make her pay so dearly that she’ll wish she’d never been born. I’ll rake her through the mud, bring up things in her life and make her so miserable that she’ll be destroyed. And besides, she wouldn’t be able to afford the lawyers I can or endure it financially as long as I can. And nobody would believe her, it’d be her word against mine and who are they going to believe? Me or some unstable woman making outrageous accusations. They’d see her as some psycho, someone unstable. Besides, I’d never make the mistake of picking unstable crazy girls like that."

Speaking of an unstable psycho Bill... Have a fucked-up Xmas and I hope you get cancer of the balls and die in 2007.

Sweet talkin' guy: Bill's sure-fire, can't miss, pickup lines

"Well, if I took you down there then I'd want to take a shower with you right away, that would be the first thing I'd do ... yeah, we'd check into the room and we would order up some room service and uh and you'd definitely get two wines into you as quickly as I could get into you I would get 'em into...maybe intravenously, get those glasses of wine into you....

You would basically be in the shower and then I would come in and I'd join you and you would have your back to me and I would take that little loofah thing and kind'a soap up your back...rub it all over you, get you to relax, hot water...and um...you know, you'd feel the tension drain out of you and uh you still would be with your back to me then I would kind'a put my arm - it's one of those mitts, those loofah mitts you know, so I got my hands in it...and I would put it around front, kind'a rub your tummy a little bit with it, ad then with my other hand I would start to massage your boobs, get your nipples really hard...'cuz I like that and you have really spectacular boobs...

So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard, kind'a kissing your neck from behind...and then I would take the other hand with the falafel (sic) thing and I'd put it on your pussy but you'd have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business..."

I'm a sales clerk

and I've stopped saying anything besides, "Have a great day!" This entire thing is bullshit but it does make us second guess ourselves when dealing with customers. So I've just removed any reference to the holidays from my speech. Kind of sad.

Wednesday, December 20, 2006 04:35 PM

Explain it to me

Why is it that it's those evangelical Protestants who wouldn't be caught dead at a mass who are demanding Christ-mass rather than Holy-day which is what they really celebrate?

I say -

IF YOU SAY IT YOU'RE GONNA' HAVE TO GO !
