I watched Colbert last night; he about lost it on that Swamp Loggers line. :) The number of video references he's got of O'Reilly doing that 'tide goes in, tide goes out' stuff is a testament to absurdity. Bill keeps doing it. He hasn't stopped. He still thinks it's profound!

Americans are so fucking lucky. Stephen Colbert doesn't even need to bother satirising, though we love him for doing so anyway.

I used to dislike Colbert because I found his parody too obvious and exaggerated to be effective.

Then I started reading the news more :?

You could escape Deimos with a bike and a ramp anyway.

In fairness to O'Reilly (since there is an endless supply of stupid left in his video) he wasn't necessarily insisting that Mars has no moons. He may have just been saying that Mars has no moons which exert significant tidal effects on the primary.

Yes if you choose to misinterpret O'Reilly as Christians misinterpret the bible, you can actually come to the understanding that he said something that wasn't bullshit.
The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.

You could also interpret it to be him asking how come Mars doesn't have a sun.

Possibly. But would anyone with the knowledge of Mars's moons phrase the question in that manor?

Can you explain that to me?
How come we have that and Mars doesn't have it?
You can't explain it. How come? Why not?


How come we have working brains and Bill O'Reilly doesn't have that? You can't explain that can you? Why not?

I'm not sure he knows what "explain" means.

O'Reilly's argument is the classic "I don't know how x works, therefore goddidit" canard.
"The most remarkable people, to me, were those who apparently approved of everything I said but nonetheless wouldn't dream of voting for the Liberal Party. It reminded me of Somalia: they wouldn't vote outside their clan."

Surely O'Reilly is guilty of some sort of offense that would warrant the death penalty in America...

Yes, only 6 out of 10 for me. If he was really trying to be a Poe, there should be more drooling and comments about Hellfire.

Found it, hated it, decided to use it because it is rather funny in a cruel, sadistic, ironic sense of the word funny.
