I'm very, very confused by all this

I love the way the politi-tainment community has gone into free-fall.

First there was the thing where Bill O’Reilly said something nice about Michelle Obama as a First Lady and got pasted by a conservative commentator for being a suck up. Then O’Reilly fired back that the woman laying into him was a lock-step, radical conservative automaton and the whole reason that the Republican party was going to Las Vegas in a hand basket (I may be paraphrasing there).

Then there was the near love-in between Jon Stewart and O’Reilly earlier this week. Okay, it wasn’t like Stewart frenched Glenn Beck or anything (which I think comes just before the opening of the 7th Seal in the Book of Revelation). But it was almost like they kinda liked each other or something. Weird.

And before I could wrap my brain around that bit of surreal life, then Sarah Palin, Rahm Emmanuel and Rush Limbaugh get into a three-way. And Limbaugh is defending Rahm Emmanuel! What the fuqua, people?

I don’t know. Maybe it is the Apocalypse. Maybe Jon Stewart is putting on a good coat of ChapStick right now. To quote Peter Venkman: “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!”

I think they are finally listening to their critics that pretending o hate each other 24-7 is not helping our country move fwd. And really, it must be exhausting to summon up so much daily hate.

I hope we're seeing the people who are more interested and willing to talk start to separate themselves from the shouters. You notice the shouters never stray from "company policy" whether they're Democrats or Republicans. The ones who actually are processing information occasionally go off the reservation. Who would have thought O'Reilly would be the guy?
