Bill O'Reilly loves America so much he'd fight for her, er, report from a war zone, er, interupt his asado in Argentina to run a little tape.

My "Rudy's Love" theme apparently inspired someone. My work is done there.

So back to ridiculing the Bibi Show, where Netanyahu tells the US how Iran is an existential threat to all of Israel right after his European tour telling Jews to move to Israel for safety. It's so heartwarming to know that the Republican clown car is open to wingers from around the world!

The R's finally realized they need to get beyond anti-science and have become anti-history.

I think they ought to put a question on the AP exam saying: "choose another country for comparison purposes, and identify ways in which that country and the US might each claim to be "exceptional" and ways in which they might not." Just so we can watch the heads explode.

An educated woman knows some things-do not get into a vehicle with a Kennedy, do not work for Bill Clinton, right? But now you need to know not to work for any Clinton.

Idaho lawmaker asks if women can swallow a camera for a remote gynecological exam before receiving pregnant termination procedures. Guess which party. Go on; I’ll wait.

Soylent Green, Brave New World, 1984, The West Wing: all horror fictional stories about the future are caused by people who believe in science and act on those beliefs. Trust me, far better to chart a course based upon the bible and healthy distrust about what college folk tell you.

I just saw Jupiter Ascending and the bad guys using the scary science were all Republicans looking to make a buck; they just relied on ignorant bible loving folks to line their pockets and fill their bathtubs.

Luckily, the scantily clad Mila Kunis is a Democrat!

Or, argue for and against the following:

"The myth of American exceptionalism is an example of what Plato called a 'noble lie.'"

"Perhaps if it were a really, really long camera. ...And one could become pregnant from anal sex."

I find this more convincing coming from people who adhere to the dietary restrictions set forth in Leviticus.

As I've long said: Everything in moderation, except for moderation itself.

The question needed to be asked regarding each listed topic is, "How far would be willing to compromise your position?" How much one will moderate determines best whether he's a moderate.

I chafe a little bit at the description of a hypothetical voter who doesn’t want gays teaching in the public schools AND wants to tax the ever-living shit out of rich people as “ideologically inconsistent.” The person has two ideologies, neither of which has anything to do with the other except that a university academic doesn’t think they should exist in the same person, possibly just because he’s never met a person who holds both positions.
