I adore my father. He is smart, he is awesome. I want to be like him when I grow up.
I have recently learned that he loves Bill O'Reilly.
My parents have always had pretty moderate live and let live viewpoints. And we're Canadian, so you know we're already a bunch of Socialists. I am the same way, lean a little more liberal, but I see the merits of both sides on a lot of issues.
How can any reasonable person like Bill effing O'Reilly? He's an extremist, a sensationalist, plus he's just a straight up douchey assshole.
There has to be some random reason I'm missing that would make it ok to like him. Something that would explain my dad's enjoyment of him, right? RIGHT? HELP ME OUT HERE.

You will get through this. You will get through this.
It could be worse. He could like Glen Beck.
Maybe you misunderstood him and he was really just saying that he loves that video where Bill gets pissed on his show and keeps screaming, "WE'LL DO IT LIVE!"

THAT MUST BE IT, HT.
Thanks guys, I appreciate your toilet paper right now.
And it's true... it could be worse. Glen Beck or Ann Coulter would destroy me.
OMG YOU GUYS.
OK, I am going to turn this into a straight up immature whine thread.
Someone commented on one of my sister's wedding photos-- it's the photo of the cake and cupcakes, all made with love by YOURS TRULY. The person commented on how great the wedding details were. In turn, the photog commented "The Bride DIYed everything!". Then my sister made a cutesy comment along the lines of "Oh, just a few stress rashes and meltdown, no big deal, hee hee."
HOLYSHIT I'M LIVID. Hey sister, go ahead, take all the credit. Never mind that you didn't do ONE of those adorable details on your own. I DID THEM FOR YOU.
JENS SMASH!!!
Oooh, do this.

I know I need to tell some more DL stories. There are some gooders. I keep forgetting them and then remembering good ones at inopportune moments like when I'm in the middle of something at work, or stuck in traffic.
Noisy, that would have been perfect. I was slightly more passive aggressive and said "*cough* There was LITTLE help on the DIY...

Jens, I don't know what would upset me more, a Bill O'Reilly lover in the family (btw, this is my FIL - he thinks O'Reilly is 'brilliant' Vomit), or getting no credit for my hard work in my sister's wedding. My sympathies.
A FB friend of mine had this status: My 4 year old son just said 'Mommy, Glenn Beck is going to save us all" Smart boy!
I wanted to hire Winged to throw my computer through a window or something.
GAH! This makes me feel not so bad about my dad.
Aw, thanks Buddha! I half feel guilty, half revel in hearing you guys say that.
Mucho likes purple nails and purple cupcakes
Yeah, watching one episode isn't entirely representative of his vitriol.
