• Megyn Kelly Hits Back at Bill O’Reilly’s Critics Amid ‘Thump the Bible’ Gay Marriage Controversy: ‘I’m Not Kissing Your Butt’

  April 5, 2013 at 11:57pm

  The night after O’Reilly had Laura Ingraham on, he kept insisting that he’d never used the term “bible thumper” and was disingenuously arguing that if he tells you that you “thump the bible” he is not calling you a “bible thumper.” It’s distinction without a difference.

  He also made a big deal about giving her two uninterrupted minutes to make her point. Wow, two whole minutes. He neglected to mention how many seconds he gave her before he cut her off, and how many times he did that, before finally letting her talk, and he neglected to say how many minutes he spoke.

  What O’Reilly never understands is that some viewers want to hear what the guests have to say. He takes the position that he’s right and anyone who might disagree, regardless of how mild the disagreement is, isn’t worth hearing.

  If you can get Fox Business, do yourself a favor and watch Cavuto instead of O’Reilly. You’ll learn a lot more.

• The Slam Dunk So Impressive You’ll Probably Have to Hit Replay at Least Once

  April 5, 2013 at 11:16pm

  I had to click over a dozen links to find out this guy was a JUCO transfer, is a senior and a communications major. Everything else was “dunk” this and “dunk” that. I didn’t see anything that would lead one to believe he’s highly regarded as a player, other than his dunking ability. Hope he did more in class than the minimum required to stay eligible.

• The Sequester Is Here…

  I’m surprised we’re even able to make the posts, it being the end of the world and all.

• Obama Pardons 17, Including Man Convicted of ‘Possession of an Unregistered Firearm’

  In reply to high school drop out.

  But these all sound like a bunch of small fry who would barely have the connections to get a ride to the Salvation Army, much less the attention of the President of the United States or his staff.

  Perhaps the presidency has become as devalued as the dollar.

• Dem. State Rep. Stripped of Title After Telling Teen Girl During Hearing, ‘I Got a Snake Sitting Under My Desk Here’

  March 2, 2013 at 12:45am

  Now he wants to apologize to her but needs someone to give him her name. And address. I mean, how can he make it up to her until he finds her?

  If the girl has a father, he ought to be awarded two free kicks with a steel-toed boot.

• Man Takes Joe Biden’s Gun Advice — and Now He Probably Wishes He Hadn’t

  March 2, 2013 at 12:39am

  Dear Mr. Vice President:

  Wanting to do my part to make this a better country, I have listened to and studied your advice, paying particular attention to the part regarding proper use of shotguns. Having decided to take your advice and following your instructions, I now find myself in need of your assistance.

  1. I wanted to keep people away from my house and did what you said. Now I need a new front door. Before the sequester causes the power to go off in Washington, could you please speed up my income tax refund check?

  2. My wife thought she heard an intruder so, following your advice, she went out onto the balcony and fired the 2 blasts. I now have a dead dog and a leaky boat. Should I file for divorce or make her get me a new dog and a new boat?

  I anxiously await your reply.

• Teen Whose Teacher Told Her to Take Off Pro-Romney Shirt & Compared it to the KKK Is Suing

  December 22, 2012 at 2:15pm

  There is one very good argument in favor of this teacher being fired, and even the teacher’s union would be hard-pressed to defend her:

  She is a failure as a teacher because her she was unable to indoctrinate this student.

• Ed Klein: Bill Clinton ‘Urging’ Hillary to Release Benghazi Documents That Would ‘Exonerate’ Her, Destroy Obama’s Re-Election Hopes

  In reply to Jhooks.

  You aren’t seeing this story anywhere because it’s not believable. Who can possibly think Clinton’s “legal counsel” (read: lawyer) would sacrifice his/her law license and every dime he/she has by violating Clinton’s attorney-client privilege like this?

  This is one that sounds too good to be true, and I’m not seeing any way it’s anything other than that.

  In reply to Stealth.

  No, what Ed Klein is actually saying is that Clinton’s attorney violated the attorney-client privilege by telling Klein what the Clinton’s discussed with their lawyers. And so far, every post I’ve read leaves me still seeking one person who didn’t find that to be implausible.

  “according to “legal counsel” to Clinton who spoke to best-selling author Ed Klein.”

  We’re being asked to believe that Clinton’s legal counsel violated the attorney-client privilege by
  telling this kind of thing to Ed Klein? The only possible way this could be true is if Clinton signed a waiver of the privilege and gave the attorney specific instructions to leak this. Anything short of that costs this lawyer his/her license and more money than the lawyer ever dreamed of making.

  OK, I have one other possible scenario. Clinton hired the dumbest lawyer on the planet. Unlikely.
