"It was like electing an Italian President in an all-white country in the sense of people [who] were sitting there, and they were living their lives and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all."

He does often give credit where credit is due and he is much less dogmatic than the other right wingers on Fox. Also,it's been seen that going on his show (whether you hate him or not) has positive effects.

Also, thumbs up to him for writing this.

I would find that...strangely honest.

I read (and responded) to NiceBeaver with a fair amount of sarcasm, although I was alluding to the concept of "becoming" white in the bubble of American society.
Mostly, though, I was just hating on O'Reilly for talking about America and Americanism as if his parents and/or grandparents didn't pass through Ellis Island like everyone else.

But technology trumps even reality, not just newspapers.
When the "Miracle on the Hudson" happened, those of us in Manhattan and New Jersey could go out and SEE IT first hand.
You could see it happening from about a thousand different locations and, believe me, it was a sight to behold.
Yet, there were people looking on their iPhones and Blackberries to see if there was any news of it.
PEOPLE, THE PLANE IN THE HUDSON IS RIGHT THERE. LOOK AT *IT* AND NOT YOUR BLACKBERRY!
I suppose reality is on its way out too.

i was near the flatiron on 9.11 and i saw the smoke and fire, but reporting and broadcasting, via tv, the all news radio blaring from the parked taxis and town cars on 5th and people on the street passing it all along was how i knew that bush and cheney had gone into hiding when the country was attacked on their watch
capt sully's name came to us from the media, not from watching the plane float in the river

Meanwhile, I'd love to know what dirt Verlyn K. is holding over the Sulzberger's that his rustic noodlings get such prominence. Don't dislike them, it's just odd. Health care reform juxtaposed with "Consider the Cow Patty" on some valuable editorial real estate.

Space, being the final frontier, but only before you reach the edge, after which you will be driven to a madness greater than that of King George's, or indeed in reverse, traveling towards the Galactic Core, at which time you will see the face of God, who is not in fact God but an angry alien desperate to escape from a barren planet, so angry he will knock your ass to the ground with prodigious energy bolts when you ask him, in a tone of voice tainted with just a tinge of sarcasm, "What does GOD need with a STARSHIP?", or venture to a space station filled with minuscule grains eaten by balls of fur to frighten Klingons, and you soon see the Tribble as microcosm for diplomacy.
These are strange new worlds; speak of them in a voice, halting. Seek out new life and new civilizations, and go, nay boldly go where no man has gone before.
