O'Reilly is on Post-Spring-Break*vacation*!1 Actually,he's observing Semana Santa(Latino Easter Wk)

First, I only use "O'Reilly" spelled properly in the Subject titles, everywhere else using the denigrating "O'LOOFAH." Because he's so obsessed with everything said about him, even from an insignificant Far Left Smear Merchant (me) on an internet discussion board, that I've long suspected he has a paid crew of dweebs scouring all outlets everywhere for *any* mention of him for him to fume over and pursue. So by using "O'Reilly" I'm making it easy for the Search function.

Another theory, in the many instances of racism he has spewed against different minorities, I have sometimes given him the slight benefit of the doubt with the theory that he grew up in the bubble of his Irish Catholicism and just had no exposure to diversity of cultures. Such that some of his verbal hate words might partially be cultural ignorance, like when he said "WETBACKS" while trying to find the word "coyote" for smugglers of undocumented immigrants. ---On second thought, neh, he's a racist.

But about the "vacation" - is he so off the rails that he missed the chance for an orgy on the real Spring Break?!1

What's funny is that this is "Semana Santa" in the Hispanic world, so he's showing CULTURAL SOPHISTICATION!1 Haha

The Easter week observations started on Palm Sunday a few days ago, and proceed through Holy Thursday, which commemorates the Last Supper (a seder, BTW), through Good Friday, which commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus, to Easter, which commemorates the resurrection of Jesus. As a good Irish Catholic, O'Reilly should 1) be aware of this and 2) be planning to spend much of the coming days attending services.

I don't see *any* spiritual dimension in him or in "Catholic" convert Laura INGRAHAM, and I'm *judging." When Mel GIBSON was making the rounds with The Passion torture flick, O'LOOFAH hosted him eagerly, his eagerness being only his hunger to be accepted by the biggest celebrities, but he was totally flat about the subject matter, no trace of religious affinity, just said, (paraphrasing) "I don't see what the hubbub is about. From Catholic school, this is just regular stuff to me."

Perhaps, I'm misinterpreting. Where you say he "SHOULD" be aware of Catholic Holy Week, sure he is AWARE of it. Perhaps he even goes to Mass every Sunday. Where you say he "SHOULD" be attending services, I just don't see him taking *this* particular week off in his scandal for spiritual reasons. And really, a lot of official Catholics spend "Holy" week partying and shopping.

I've said many times that he, so full of viciousness, should get out of the role of judging and pseudo-moralizing and spend his life in solitary wallowing over his own personal problems. Little things like his verbal and emotional (we don't know about the Physical) ABUSE.

As for Irish Catholicism, a lot of those priests and nuns who colonized the Brown parts of the world tortured and terrorized their congregants.
