Things sure weren’t like this back when I was in school.
Mr. Wood looks well. He refused to sell his property unless it was designated for a school. It looks like he got 2 of them.
Foo Fighters vs Westboro Baptist
The Foo Fighters decided to do a little pay back when Westboro Baptist haters decided to protest at their concert in Kansas City.
Foo Fighter fans all over the internet were furious at Westboro and acted like this was the worst thing they had ever done. Not even close. The Foo Fighters are entertainers and can take something like this in stride. Those who have lost loved ones and are trying to lay them to rest are a different matter.
All powerful O’Reilly
Bill O’Reilly made a rather bold declaration during a recent interview with Newsweek.
The Fox News host was promoting his new book (a historical thriller about the Lincoln assassination), and he clearly had the presidency on his mind, because he told interviewer Peter Boyer that he was almost as powerful as the holder of that office.
“I have more power than anybody other than the president, in the sense that I can get things changed, quickly,” he said. “I don’t have to go through the legislative process; I don’t have to do any of that. I can just bring it to the people, and say, look, this has gotta be dealt with.”
Bill O’Reilly has made all sorts of outlandish proclamations. Some of the are actually pretty true. Is he a supreme egomaniac or is he right? He gets a great deal of coverage and he doesn’t have to ask permission.
So the question becomes, is O’Reilly right? Is he more powerful than everyone except the president?
