We will start with Mr. O'Reilly since he sucks so much.

On his radio show today, august 12, he said this:

"The daily mail in London reports that George Clooney has become one of Barrack Obama's primary advisors. We hope this is not true. We hope its not. OK, because this would not be good. George Clooney. [Elise Wheel speaking although I probably spelled her name wrong]: Little sarcasm maybe [O'Reilly again]: I don't think so".

Are you kidding me? I mean, you can like or not like Barrack Obama but does any right thinking person think that George Clooney plays a major role in his decisions? O'Reilly is much smarter than this. He knows it is ridiculous and if you pressed him on it, he would probably admit that. Nonetheless, he always sprinkles things like this in.

Another pet peeve I have is that he continuously props himself up as a great reporter who works for you. He talks about how he goes after politicians and straightens them out. For god sakes, he called a boycott of France and pretended he had an effect. It is annoying because no real journalist should be spending time talking about how great they are. It is irrelevant and not for them to report.

It is also annoying for another reason. He continously proclaims that he can't make any judgements about Barrack Obama because we don't know anything about him. If he is such a great reporter, shouldn't he be able to find out things about Obama? I mean, his opponent claims he is the most famous man in the world. If Obama is famous and O'Reilly is a reporting genius, you would think he could find SOMETHING out about him.

Either way, I would prefer if we could just talk about the federal reserve anyway.
