Bill and Obesity?

So here is a topic that I do not hear Bill address too often, or ever at all. However last night on the Factor, Bill had guest Meme Roth on. Now I am not sure what one can actually call her, as far as titles go, but I guess the closest thing would be anti-obesity activist? She was an extremest though. But she made some good points...fat parents generally produce fat children. She also pointes out that junk food should not be used as a reward. However Bill says that no child will stick around with rice cakes as a reward, and he is right. But, Bill did make an unfair statement. He said that her child is going to run away. Now now Bill, be nice.

Duke University in over its head :(

The lacrosse team at the prestigous Duke University is in some big trouble. A stripper hired for a party, attended by 46 team members, claims she was raped by 3 students in bathroom. Bill had the Durham County District Attorny, Micheal Nifong was on the Factor. According to Nifong, nobody is being cooperative in the ivestigation and has no doubt in his mind that this stripper was indeed raped. Bill seems nuetral at this point, but as the case unfolds I believe that his opinion will become more prevelant. The 911 call made by the stripper is a little fishy, and includes claims of racial comments made. DNA of all the present members at the party has been gathered. As the investigation unfolds I will follow it on this blog and perhaps write an editorial for my newspaper.

Juan Williams on illegal immigration

Someone I dislike more than Dick Morris is democrat, Juan Williams, a relaxed leftist who could truly care less about illegal immigrants coming to this country. Bill and Williams discussed the recent uprise of mexican students in Las Angeles who are pro-illegal immigration. Williams made an insane claim that these kids just want to feel useful and are being used to give off a message, not true. They do have a stance and they do indeed understand what they are fighting for, even if what they are fighting for (illegals) is wrong in my opinion. Bill tells Williams the truth of the situation...the politicians and media have no (real) desire to fix the problem, but Bill and I do! There are over 12 million illegals in this country and something must be done. I am glad Bill is on my side, or is it the other way around. Bill points out another sad truth...there is a back end solution (what we do after the fact) but no front end plan (what we do to be proactive). I agree! This has become the biggest U.S hot button issue and yet Congress is being too easy on it and too slow on making a darn decision!

Dick Morris on Illegal Immigration

I have never liked Dick Morris, author of "Condi vs. Hillary". My father sums his up as "whoever is writing the paycheck is who he is working for," in simpler words, he is floppy on all major issues, including illegal immigration. But he makes an interesting point, democrats are easy on illegal immigrants because they want their votes in the future. The truth is that the democratic vote depends on the minority vote. Dick got a little excited and Bill asked him to calm down and take a breath. Bill talks about the bill, which would criminilize those who help illegals. Not those who give them a glass of water, but smuggle them, Bill points out, which is a good point because that has been a misperception among people, thanks for the clarification Bill. Morris points out that Republicans should not ignore the Hispanic vote and that a wall would do the job. Bill jumps in and explains that a wall is no good without people behind it. I agree, without the military protecting it, it is useless. The main point, Mexican elections are important to the U.S and politics dealing illegals are up in the air because the politicians just want to get re-elected!

The Media and Illegal Immigration

On the Talking Points Memo on The Factor (3/29) Bill attacked the print media for not being solid on illegal immigration. He listed several newspapers and where they stand. He took a shot at my local paper, The Atlanta Journal Constition, saying that at no surprise to him, they were the most liberal, advocating for Amnesty for illegal immigrants. Other newspapers included: Washington Post, St. Louis, Houston Chronicle, Boston Globe, LA Times and NY Times. I agree with Bill, that Cynthia Tucker, the editor of the Editorials in the AJC is an extreme left-winger who leads a radical staff of confused writers. He sums it up saying that the print media does not support the tough House Bill (and in my opinion they should) I agree with Bill, and intend to write an editorial this week in my paper that is conservative take on the illegal immigration issue...look for it at ksusentinel.com after 4/5.

Christians vs. Secularists

In California, the liberal city of San Fran, to be exact broke out in protest. A christian group preached about morality in this country and to no surprise to me, a secular, liberal group backlashed, calling them facists! Bill had the leader of each group on The Factor. The Secular group leader claims that they are being denied civil rights by the Christian group. However the debate took a turn when the leader called them facists. Bill stepped in saying that the "personal attacks" were not necessary. I agree, the Christian group organized the rally,which was legal, and there was a counter rally, also legal, however Bill was hard on the Secular group leader. Although I agree with him that the personal attacks are needless, he did spin it a little bit by being so hard on her. However, I believe that if he had more time he would have been hard on the Christian leader as well. The only tough question he offered him was "Do you want a theocracy?" Of course the answer was "no". Now I am not a Christian, but I have to take the side of their group because the secularists are far leftists who have lost their minds! They believe morality is based on doing whatever, and that just in not true.

Bad crash, great footage!

Bill covered the latest Nascar disaster. A driver becomes disabled, hits the outer wall and spins across the track. Just as he makes it to almost the other end of the track into safety, another car, hits him going 200 mph! Not to be insensitive, but the footage was great! Just watching it makes you sick. What is misleading about the footage is the driver who got hit at 200mph, was the not one killed, it was the driver who hit him who was killed! Bill had the brother of the victim on the show. His brother is a driver himself and wont quit, what a fool!

Bill battles about illegal immigration

On the top story segment of The Factor, a segway of the talking points memo, that has already been discussed, Bill battles with the leader of a pro illegal immirgrant organization. The main point I would like to touch on in this piece deals with Bill's solutions to illegal immigration and how the pro guy feels about it. The main one is the National Guard on the border. The guest stupidly claims that border control, or patrol (choose your weapon) is not for the military. Bill does not miss a beat with this one...he immediately says that the Constitition clearly states that the military's duty, or one of their duties, is to "protect the borders". All I can say to his guest is "duh" you idiot. Do your research! His claim, as to why the military does not belong at the border is because they should be concentrating on the war in Iraq. Well, I have news for this guy...they are fighting, a damn good fight in Iraq and I will challenge anyone who disagrees, but there are other military outlets out there, including the National Guard. I mean their name is National Guard for pete's sake. The answer is in the question. The guard, guard what? The border or our nation. When are people going to get the picture?

Bill on illegal immigration

On Bill's talking points memo, he gives his solution for illegal immigration. But first off, I would like to point out that once again, Bill calls out Congress, for being far too light thus far and being repetative, good call Bill. He gives about 7-8 solutions for the illegal immigration problem that are an alternative to building an expensive wall around the border. Once again he brings up the mobilization of the National Guard to the border to protect it. He suggests that illegals that are already here, register, and pay a $3000 fine to be taken out of paychecks. He also brings up the issue of employers who hire illegals, and says that they should face high penalties. The main thing, no catch and release, it should be more like catch and deport. I completely agree with Bill on this one. It is time for someone to crack down on illegals. Not because they are taking our jobs, but because, put simply, they are here illegaly and proper paperwork should be done. People come to this country because of its greatness. The greatness in America certainly did not root from America just letting people do whatever the hell they want. Think about the boston tea party, the Hiroshima bombing, and the most current, 9/11.

Krisof won't talk to Bill

The New York Times is in trouble. They received millions of dollars from the Darfur government and then ran an 8 page ad on the Darfur government. This government is corrupt and inhumane to their people. Bill claims that the NY Times should not have taken the money, but he admits that they need it. Bill touches on something that I did not know, which is that the NY Times is in financial trouble, their stock is down and they are laying people off everyday. Who would of thought. It makes me laugh to know that the prestigous Times is going down hill. I would be more than happy to see those crazy liberal journalist sink down to the bottom. Bill tells the civil rights activist, Kenneth Roth, on his show that he should be focusing on American civil rights violation, including the whack job in Ohio who let a child rapist go on probation. Way to go Bill. We should be focusing on that, not the problems in Africa, we have our own problems. I like how Bill encouraged Roth to look into it because, "We could use help from your group to bring this judge down." I like that, and I think it was good-natured of Bill to ask this of yet another guest.

Bill on child abuse

Claudia Muro, the lawyer of a convicted child abuser claims her client is not as guilty as she seems. She stupidly claims that the tape speeds up movement making appear that she is shaking the baby and that she was simply playing with the baby. She claims that when the tape is slowed down it is amazing to see how different it looks. Muro claims that the father is a former prosecutor and bringing in that mind set. Also the parents refuse her statements. She says the hospital says that damage would be worse if this actually happened. This is crap! The women has been in jail for 2 and half years in jail. Bill, where were you? Bill just let this woman bullsh*t for 2 minutes and did not take one shot at her. I am dissappointed in Bill for this one. He is always looking after the kids, so what happened? Either this Muro has a good case and Bill knows it or Bill was severely off his game.

Blacks vs. PETA

PETA showed up today at rally comparing the treatment of animals to slavery...ooops! This did not go over well with some Black students. Lauren Lake, a Defense Attorny thinks this insensitive and ranted that this comparison is outrageous. She claims that animals are not people but then makes a point that blacks in slavery were treated like animals, she sounds like a damn hypocrit. Bill says, that he can't argue with that. However, he has never been a big fan of PETA. He draws the dot to gay marriage. Black people hate that gay marriage is being compared to the civil rights struggle of black people. Lake continues to rant, it is quite annoying. He calms her down and claims that banning gay marriage is a civil rights issue. Lake yells some more and mentions Katrina. Bill agrees with her but claims that he may have problems with her views on Katrina and the affect on blacks. Bill plugs that next week him and Lake will discuss the Katrina thing. I cant wait for Bill to rip this woman up on national television!

Not a way to tend to the left

Dr. Larry Chapp claims that Clinton is one of the worst politicians ever. He says she is trying to get the approval from the center. Dr. Chapps feel offended, as a christian that she would bring this up. Bill begs the question ,"Do you think she really thinks it through that much when she mentioned Jesus?' Chapps answers 'no'. Kristin Powers claims that Clinton is very religous based on nonsense, but Bill says that she is selectively using a religous icon that appeals to over 80% of Americans and this is deplorable. I agree with Chapp and Bill alike. I do believe that is purposefully using Jesus to appeal to voters and that this is not a good approach. Once again, Bill makes a good point that Clinton may want to consider.

Talking Points 3/23

Hillary Clinton has gone holy. She is siding with Mahomy by saying the bill against immigration would criminilize the good samaratin and jesus himself. Her solution that she offers, Bill claims is rubbish. Bill says it is all political. He offers a helping hand to her by saying that she needs to shake things up with her base, minorities and liberals. He is right, thanks Bill for a valid point, something we don't hear from Senator Clinton.

He is smart

Today in my office a co-worker shared his opinion with me regarding Bill, unknowing that I am a fan. He was ok until he said that Bill is dumb and then imitated Bill stumbling over complicated words. He know that Bill was dumb and bad with words, but what he didn't know is that Bill graduated from Harvard. My co-worker claims that Harvard is for people who have money, but I am almost sure that they screen for academic integrity.

Steven Colbert takes a shot on O'Reilly

Last night on the Colbert Report, Steven Colbert took a shot at Bill in "The word" segment. He said "Look at Bill O'Reilly" and the words "and turn stone cold" appeared on the screen. He went on to talk about how Bill says he won a Peabody, but really won a Polk. I like Colbert, usually. I am sure that Bill is not offended by a comment made a show that somehow passes as broadcast humor show but I was bothered. I would just like to say that I do not turn stone cold when I see or hear Bill, I am enlightened by his overzealous nature and enjoy his pithey nature. I am just lookin out for Bill.

3/14 Talking points

Ok, here is the deal. This may be the story of the year. A judge in Ohio gives a child rapists, who raped two boys, 5 and 12 years old, repeatedly over 3 years, probation. Then the guy violates his parole and, gets into his car and kills two people. We will leave that second part for the next posting. Now here is where this story gets really good. The judge, Justice Conner has 8, count them, 8 DUI's and three convictions, not to mention, got caught with cocaine in the car. Whoa!!! Are you serious? So here is this judge, who is criminal himself. I thought that i had seen the scum of the earth when the story with Judge Cashman of Vermont broke, but now I am not so sure. This Connor guy makes Cashman look like a saint. Guys like this, should not be allowed on the bench. One DUI alont should be enought to severely punish a judge, two is enough to get him kicked off. Bill is all over this guy, as he should be. Bill is trying to protect the children here, as usual and I agree with Bill that this guy is a complete moron. This story gets deeper, which i will post in the following segment.

Dick Morris on the Factor 3/13

Dick Morris, a popular repeat guest on the Factor, was on Monday to discuss Bush. Morris wrote "Hillary vs Condi" and with all his appearences is probably selling a good bit of books. But he is also selling his political standpoint, especially when it comes to Bush. Now, I just don't this guy. Is he as democrate or a republican? He used to advise the Clinton administration but up until last nite he seemed to support President Bush. Now he has come out critisizing Bush saying that he needs to work everyday "just like Clinton did". He says that Bush should be initiating programs, signing bills and blah blah blah EVERYDAY. Morris seems to think that because Bush will not be running in 2008, that he has lost his flare as the president. May I remind you Mr. Morris that we are in the middle of a war here, I think the president has plenty on his plate. Morris also believes that if Bush does not step it up, he will have a miserable 3 years ahead of him. Yeah, I am sure Bush is just breezing through life right now! Give me a break Morris. I agree that Bush could do more, but I would not call him a slacker either.

Monday's show 3/13

Just as predicted, Bill has not missed a beat with Bennish. What was not predicted was actually having someone, other than Sean Hannity, on his side. Bill's guest last night agrees that this sort of speech is crazy. Although she does not agree that he should be fired, she does think that he should apologize on his own behalf for his bias statements made in the classroom. Well good luck with that one. While Fox news hates this guy, most other networks, like CNN and NBC are eating him up. May I make another important point? This guy is getting so much publicity, both good and bad, that he is actually getting his 15 minutes of fame, and I think that may be exactly what he wants. Boy would I love to see him get on the Factor...but something tells me that he does not have the guts to battle with Bill, especially since NBC's Matt Lauer practically bowed at his feet! And one more thing. Does anyone else find it a bit fishy that he got his long hair cut off shortly before the press coverage began? Is he trying to preserve his image or something? C'mon Bennish, we all know you are a liberal hippie, afterall you do live in Colorado!

3/9 Unresolved Problem Segment on the Factor

One of Bill's greatest virtues is his genuine desire to protect the children. He has the biggest cheerleader of Jessica's Law, named after Jessica from Florida who was raped and killed in Florida. The legislation requires the sex offender register and that citizens have access to where they live. Bill's latest crusade to get the law passed is in the liberal state of Oregon. Steve Doell of the Crime Victims in Oregon agreed with Bill the law must get passed. He pointed out that they need 75,600 signitures but that really 115,000 were needed because of the secretary of state. Bill's answer...he advocates for the people of Oregon to take the fight to their governor. He refers to the idiot of the year, Judge Cashman of Vermont. Bill says that while some states are making progress, like Pennsylvania, others like Oregon are far, far off!! I agree with Bill and i think that his fight to get Jessica's law in ALL 50 STATES is a great cause and is something that we will see again and again the factor.

3/9 Unresolved Problem Segment on the Factor

Roe vs. Wade has become an issue again since the confirmation of Judge Alito. The case presented in today's segment deals with 25-yr-old Dubay who is filing suit in Michigan federal court because he does not want to pay child support for his daughter. This guy is real piece of work. He claims he was lied to and deceived, therefor should not have to support the child because he never wanted the kid to begin with. The mother, Lauren Wells, 20, says he has an obligation. Mel Fight, of the center for men, had the guts to go on the Factor and debate with O'Reilly on the subject. Fight blames Roe for changing it all. Fight says that before Roe no support was required if the man did not intend to conceive the child. He uses a loony arguement that even today, if a woman leaves a baby outside the ER, nobody stops her and asks for any money, so why should men be any different if they did not want the child. Excuse Mr. Fight. If only he knew how ridiculous he sounded. Bill fought back by aruging that regardless of circumstances, a real man has the obligation to help support his child. Bill speaks of the "risk zone" which is unprotected sex. I like Bill's logical arguement...once you enter the "risk zone" you are responsible. I think that is a well put argument. I could not agree with Bill more, is anybody surprised? If men were not responsible for the child they were part of conceiving just because they dont feel like it, where would be?

3/9 Impact Segment on the Factor

The impact segment, a segment that deals with current issues and what political figures and activists and what they are doing about the issues, dealt with the U.S border and illegal immagration and Senator Hillary Clinton. Bill is not a big fan of Clinton, and this is just one more reason he does not. Susan Turnbill, vice chair of the democratic committee takes Clinton's side and says she is searching for solutions to illegal immigration and that she is working with others in Senate in Congress. Turnbill, a loony liberal, of course agrees with Clinton word for word. Bill is all over this one!! Bill believes that more technology or cooperation with the Mexican government will NOT work. Bill also believes that everything Turnbill says is nonsense. His evidence: the problem has been goin on for over 30 years and illegal immigrants are still coming in, half a million a year!!! Bill wants to see the national guard step up to surround the border, a solution that I think would work if used as part of other initiatives. Bill sums up Clinton's bogus plan for immigration by saying the problem is just that, there is no plan. She opposes illegal immigrants but has no clear cut answer to the problem. Bill goes out on a limb and says the Clinton does not have the will to do anything about it...she is just talking. A bold move Bill.

"Unity at Last: No Arabs running U.S Ports" Bills Syndicated Column of the week

Who better to write an editorial on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) running U.S ports than Bill? He points out one element of the debate that is interesting, "for the first time since the Paleolithic period, The New York Post and The New York Times concur: No Arabs in charge of the US ports." He goes on to write that the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post also agree that the UAE should be allowed to run the ports. Then Bill goes on to lay out the main points of this debate, something that not many other broadcasters are doing. The pros: UAE allows for the US to post military on their soil and run missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. They cooperate with the CIA and captured Al Queda's Al-Nashiri. The cons: They are a conservative Muslim nation that refuses to recognize Israel, an ally of the US and have been known to support the Taliban in the past. Bill sums up this pickle by simply writing, "the USA is caught between a mosque and a hard place." Well put Bill. So Bill has pointed out the problems and weighed both sides in a balanced, no spin kind of way...so what is Bill's answer then? Bill thinks the Bush administration should allow the UAE to run the ports but with "strict oversight and accountability". Bill not only offers a short term solution that satisfies both sides, but also puts out a long term one, who would of thought? Bill believes Congress should pass legislation that bans foreign companies from controlling the operations at U.S ports. This will keep this sort of confilct form arising again. Now it is out of character of me to bash Bush, but I will end with this...if Bush would take on Bill's way of thinking about issues like this one, maybe the administration could actually clean up the mess and start walking instead of talking.

Tues March 7 Show

It is no surprise to me that Bill is going after this Bennish guy, and going after him good! Bill spoke of his beef with this guy with Craig Sullivan, the prosecuter in the case. Sullivan, who admitted to being a democrat himself also admitted that Bennish is NOT a democrat, he is one of those far left guys. Bill's main beef with Bennish, besides his dumb comparison of the Bush Administration to the Hitler Regime, is that it is unbalanced, Bill's petpeave. Even Sullivan agreed that this guy has shown no evidence of ever giving a balanced discussion in this class. Good point Bill. Another aspect that Bill got into quite a bit, at no surprise to his avid viewers, was the protection of Sean Allen, the 16-yr-old student who recorded Bennish and publicized the tape. Now Allen faces ridicule from his peers and is being transfered to another high school. Bill asked Sullivan to look out for Allen. I liked Bill's next move when he made Sullivan promise that if this kid faces anymore trouble to call the Factor and let Bill handle it. You gotta love how Bill is looking out for the kids, it is a commendable crusade. I knew as soon as I heard Sean Hannity break the story of Bennish that Bill and Sean, alike ,would be all over this guy, thank god for true Americans.

Monday's show

Ok. let me go ahead and skip to the end of the show to the segment labled "Most Ridiculous Item of the Day". Bill claims his show is a "no spin zone" but he ripped on the wrong song on Monday. He ranted about how ridiculous it was for the song of the year at the oscars to be "Its hard out here for a pimp". Now I admit, this is ridiculous. We all know how much Bill hates the gangsta rape. However, his opinion is spun. Bill has not seen the movie the song came from, Hustle and Flow. If he had he would know that the song fits in with the context of the movie, which is indeed about a pimp and his struggles to make more of his life. While no other movies really produced original music worth singing along with, this movie deserves to win this award. The movie is based on southern rap. The lyrics go like this..."Its hard out here for a pimp, just tryin to get the money for the rent, with all the cadillac and gas money spend, there is a whole lotta b*tches jumpin ship." Nothing brilliant really, but it goes along well with the movie. No with this being said, I will end it by saying, I am just lookin out for you Bill..watch the movie and dont spin your stories.

Thursday's show

On Thursday's "The O'Reilly Factor" Bill went after this Bennish guy, the teacher in Colorodo who compared the Bush administration to Hitler...whoa, watch out guys, our "no spin" guy is gonna tear this guy apart, that is for sure.
