Bill O'Reilly reminds me of a kid I went to school with
He made a list of "PEOPLE I LIKE" AND "PEOPLE I DONT LIKE"

According to him the people on his like list were good, and the people on his dont like list were bad.

What is the difference between him and Bill O'Reilly?

By thw way, I didnt make it on either of his lists.

2. Ooh I bet those people are shaking
Just like the people in France. Because you know that his boycott of France is taking down their country.

3. I actually know someone who went to school with Bill O'Reilly - at Marist.
This dates back to the early 1970's. By all accounts he was a complete asshole then too.

I can't say I'm familiar with him now. I've never seen more of him than it takes to channel surf through his picture. (I have never actually watched Fox News unless forced to do so by being stuck in a public place where it functions as Orwell's telescreen.) I only know him by osmosis.

5. It's always interesting to hear
what they were like in their youth.

I knew a lady who went to school with Hillary. I learned it when she put her senior yearbook up for sale on e-bay. The lady was a staunch republican but really had only nice things to say about the young Hillary.
She said that Hillary was a teacher's pet but not because she tried to be. It was just because she was so smart and worked so hard and teachers loved her. So did other students, she was very kind.
The lady said that Hillary defined herself as a Republican, as most of the neighborhood and school was. Then in a mock debate she was given the part of the Democratic candidate. In her research preparing for the debate she found that what the Dem party stood for was all the things she believed in and she never turned back.
The lady said she wished she could say she didn't like her, but that she was one of the nicest and smartest people in the school. If you know her, you like her.
That surprised me.

6. I've heard this before...
Her public persona is pretty ice-y, but apparently in a one on one situation, she is quite warm and personable. I wonder how she could project better.

8. I always thought he's more like Col. Flagg

"Do you believe I could break your neck with just this one finger?"

9. If we had more men like him, we'd have fewer men like him!
Flagg was always one of my faves.

10. "I am the wind..."
"the wind just broke his leg"

He was one of my favorites as well.
