If the four million NRA members and the other 80 million gun owners in the

were
used in crime as much as he implies, and handguns caused violent behavior,
Michael would be dead long before now. He's a victim and a profiteer of
his own imagination and storytelling techniques.

For humor, try this one I spotted:

NEW YORK — Filmmaker Michael Moore's (search) bodyguard was arrested for
carrying an unlicensed weapon in New York's JFK airport Wednesday night. . .
.

Burke is licensed to carry a firearm in Florida and California, but not in
New York. Burke was taken to Queens central booking and could potentially be

Moore's 2003 Oscar-winning film "Bowling for Columbine" criticizes what
Moore calls America's "culture of fear" and its obsession with guns.

Y'all might want to read Al Franken's take on Bill O'Reilly
in "Lies and the Lying Liars who tell Them" :)

Better yet, catch some of Al Franken's coverage of Bill
O'Reilly on Air America.

Apparently O'Reilly went ballistic on a caller for
pointing out that he -- O'Reilly -- had never served in
the military. This was after O'Reilly stated that he had
been in combat.

The context was O'Reilly explaining how, for the sake of
his unit, when lives are at stake, if an enemy prisoner
knows where his troops are located he'd better tell him...
or else.

Al Franken got a tape of the exchange and played it on
the air.

Unbelievable.

He discounnected the caller, and then ranted at him.
He even denounced the caller's "Fair & balanced"
(O'Reilly's words) view.

Anyhow, after clearly implying that he had served in
combat, O'Reilly finally explained that he had served
as a combat reporter... in South America.

What war? One can only imagine.

Once one understands that Bill O'Reilly's goal is to get people to
emote (preferably with the emotions of fear, anger, or both) instead of
think, his mouth noises began to make a certain amount of sense. That
he is a fixture of Fox News also makes a certain amount of sense, as
the material produced by this network has a similar goal... well, that
and maximizing the value of their advertising slots (a goal they share
with all other contemporary for-profit news organizations... for most
of them, it's the only goal).

I started reading the transcript, but had to stop at this tidbit:

GRANT: Science is always incomplete in all areas.

O'REILLY: Well, I don't agree with that. Science is not always
incomplete and I'll give you an example. There are twenty-four hours
in a day. Alright. That's science. And there are four seasons.
That's science.

I had to stop reading... it hurt too much to go on.

In case anybody missed it (and I don't think Fox has free transcripts
available
on their website) Bill O'Reilly, of the O'Reilly Factor on Fox Snooze, had a
short segment/debate last night about the ID controversy in Dover, Penn.

His guest was Dr. Michael Grant, a biologist from the Univ. of Colorado.
Grant
stated that ID isn't science. O'Reilly then claimed that if that is the case
then human cloning isn't science as well, because it has never been done.

Turns out that someone at News Hounds has a transcript of the segment at:
