Bill O'Reilly

I honestly had a field day on YouTube, looking at all the Bill O'Reilly video clips. I never watched his show before and from what I watched, I can tell that he is indeed a lunatic. I do not know where to begin, but this the first video I watched of this guy is what I would like to talk about. As seen in this clip, he will more then likely become belligerent as the discussion goes along with every guest. He attempts to start off strong with his ignorant personality, but at the mid point of the interview he begins to get loud and uncontrollable. It is either a win or lose situation from there. He knows he is such an asshole with his guests that he overpowers them unless their knowledge is consistent. A few of O'Reilly's guests like Phil Donahue will win the argument and make him look like a fool. I personally hate Bill O’Reilly after watching this and other videos of him. On the contrary, some viewers of this interview are saying that O’Reilly was the winner of this heated battle. I hate to be judgmental but those who think that obviously are stupid because he never proved Donahue wrong, the climax of his argument was “I'll bot you right off the set!” After the shouting ended, he more than likely got a cue from the people in his ear telling him that he lost the battle and to end it. Phil Donahue used his intelligence about how this war is unconstitutional which shut Bill right up. Another guest on Bill O’Reilly’s show that shuts him up and is a good watch is Stephen Colbert.

"Boomsday"

I just finished the book that i chose to read for the class entitled, "Boomsday". I stayed up all night reading it and finished it around 8am. I have mixed feelings on it, but I enjoyed the political satire and what the book was about. It was oddly enough about a blogger. Except Cassandra Devine's, the main character, blog became so popular that it caused a revolution against retirement centers/golf courses and the government. Her blog is called CASSANDRA, which stands for Concerned Americans for Social Security Amendment Now, Debt Reduction and Accountability. Her father is the main reason why she is blogging against his generation, the baby boomers. She wisely proclaims that since the baby boomers are getting old enough to retire, there is going to be an overwhelming amount of people getting Social Security. That would end up putting her and future generations in a great amount of debt with paying all these taxes for the retired “snobs”. There are so many characters and so much going on that it is hard to follow what is going on at some points. It would be to hard to sum in a couple sentences because of all the plots. Cass ends up having a little relationship with a Senator that is pursuing to become president. The idea of, “voluntary transitioning”, thought out by Cass, was the process of generations volunteering to kill themselves at age 75 which technically would end the Social Security problem. It gets its recognition from the election and overall it gets really intense. This book is a wild ride and it makes the government look like idiots which is good in my book.

Bush

I am going to be honest and start off by saying that since I was not really active in gaining knowledge about politics in the past election with Bush, I may not know how much of an idiot George W. Bush really is. However since I live in the United States, I do know for a fact the he is indeed a moron. I cannot begin to list the ridiculous actions he did or still does, like this interview. He fucked up big time, without a doubt, and I see this headline on my homepage, www.cnn.com, about how he is going to write a book about his regrets. The thought that came to my head immediately was how is this idiot going to write a book and actually get it published. Bush most certainly cannot write a book by himself. He is going to have writers left and right, if he actually pulls through and decides to write a book about him screwing up our country. He use to be intelligent and he must have been, I mean it is a possibilty he might have not been, but to actually go through everything in order to become the president, he must have been somewhat intellectual. That was the past, nowadays he is not capable to write a book and even let alone make any smart decisions. That is what he is supposed to write about, making dumb decisions. That headline I saw lead me to this video on his first interview since Obama won the election. First of all this interview does not even look real, it looks like they had a Bush fill in when the shots of the interviewer were shown, but the moral of this is, George Bush was a horrible president.

So apparently Barrack Obama’s Hawaiian birth certificate has been proved to be legitimate. Apparently I am not good at following news either. I tried to find recent news about the controversy of his birth certificate when I found out about it in class the other day and I failed. Maybe it is because I have a short attention span and did not try hard enough. Whatever it is, I could not find anything while I talked to my friend about it and he found something first try. I was talking to him about the whole ordeal and he gets hostile and argumentative about politics and has to have the last word. I showed him this video and he showed me the link to completely shut down the conversation. Anyway, both of these forms of communication were released in October. The news article came out more recent then the video, which proves the video to be false, as far myself, an audience member knows. I never know where to stand on politics, because I would like to say that all the rumors and all the doubts on his birth certificate have been officially proved wrong, because I will never the real truth. The government who knows the real truth about the birth certificate can do whatever they please. But as far as I am concerned all the rumors are indeed false and this issue will not be brought up again. Obviously it must not be effective because voting starts in two days.
