Happy Anniversary, Bill!!

Yes, it's been five years since this awesome little ditty hit The Smoking Gun, and after re-reading it I find it just as entertaining as the day it hit.

It's a hilarious/disgusting document detailing Mr. Bill O'Reilly's sexual harassment settlement. Apparently after being harrassed many times by Bill, a female staffer decided to try to make some money off of him and tape his gross phone calls. The document clearly states that she, in no uncertain terms, expressed disgust and asked him to stop, but he just kept on a-goin'. Funny stuff.

(Warning: you can't un-read this crap once you've read it. He's a sick man.)

Bill O'Reilly is a rich and evil douche. People who take him seriously are somehow worse, in my opinion. Try reading this and taking anything he says or does seriously ever again.


Here's a great clip. Notice how (both!) high school students present well-rounded, thoughtful, reasonable arguments while Bill O'Reilly is all about just acting indignant over a complete non-issue that's taken totally out of context. It says something when two high school douches look like paragons of intelligent discourse compared to you. Mr. O'Reilly spent half the time vehemently defending his horrible book for teens. I mean, yes, Bill O'Reilly is an easy target, but I'm amazed at how many of my own upper-class white students are assigned his young adult books by their parents. Being rich has nothing to do with being smart, and that's the truth.
