What's O'Lielly's next "War on..." on?
After Bill's largely unsuccessful attempt to boost "The O'Lielly Factor" ratings, it would seem that another "War on..." needs creation...

A few suggestions:

"The War on Couscous"
"The War on an Apple a Day"
"The War on..."

6. It's a little early for the "War on Easter," but that would work.
What other phantoms can he battle?

The War on Poor Megachurches?
The War on Innocent Congresscritters who only LOOK guilty?

25. That's it! And he'll have an excuse
to spend all his time blathering about sex. Cause he's like most outwardly conservative "family values" guys...freakily obsessed with all the sex he's not having.

22. How About "The War on Bush"
Could have a double meaning for ole' Bill, but I think that is what is coming next.

"All the big hate web-sites funded by George Soros are out to destroy Bush, and pretty soon you won't even be able to speak his name in public".

24. War on "Saint"
Yes, it's true, the villainous secularists have succeeded in eliminating the word "Saint" from "Saint Valentine's Day" and turned it into a SECULAR "Valentine's Day"!!!

If anyone dares to wish you a "Happy Valentine's day" or asks you to "Be my Valentine", scream at them until they relent and ask you to be their "Saint Valentine"!


COMING SOON: No more atheistically vague "Easter Eggs or Easter Bunnies". From now on it will be "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY OF JESUS RISING FROM HIS GRAVE DAY!"


Dammit!

27. Judging by His Falafelness's recent rant he will be getting
his war on with the New York Times, and Frank Rich in particular.
He plans on a personal attack, looking to see if Frank has any falafels hidden in his closet.

31. He Actually Just Declared War on the NY Times

O'Reilly on NY Times' Rich and Keller: "e'll just have to get into their lives" if "personal attacks" continue

snip

On the January 2 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly threatened to "get into" the "lives" of New York Times columnist Frank Rich and executive editor Bill Keller. O'Reilly admonished Rich and Keller after NPR senior correspondent and Fox News contributing political analyst Juan Williams asked, "hat are you going to do to them if they engage in the politics of personal attack against the president?" Williams was referring to O'Reilly's comments during the "Talking Points Memo" portion of his program, in which he complained that the Times "routinely uses personal attacks to hurt people with whom it disagrees" and that Rich and Keller are "the two main culprits."

From the January 2 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

O'REILLY: In the weeks to come, we'll cover the story in a fair and balanced way, even giving the benefit of the doubt to The New York Times. But there is no doubt, ladies and gentlemen, that the Times has been unfair in its coverage of the Bush White House. And the paper also routinely uses personal attacks to hurt people with whom it disagrees. If that does not stop, Bill Keller and Frank Rich -- to name the two main culprits -- will not have a happy new year. As they say in the auction world, fair warning.

<...>

WILLIAMS: Well, I couldn't - I was listening to your -- your memo, your "Talking Points," and there you are threatening Bill Keller and Frank Rich. And I thought, what are you going to do to them if they engage in the politics of personal attack against the president?

O'REILLY: It's a good question, Juan. And I don't see it as a threat. I mean, I think you have to say to people, as we do with all our guests here, this is what's likely to happen. And if they continue, those people continue to attack people personally, as Frank Rich does almost every week, and Keller allows it, then we'll just have to get into their lives.

WILLIAMS: There's a new sheriff in town.

O'REILLY: You know, I'm not -- I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it.

WILLIAMS: All right.

32. "The War on Jockey Shorts"
I can see it now.

"I don't like jockey shorts. I don't like them, I don't trust them, and I don't think they should be America's most widely-used type of men's underwear. People who wear them are CLEARLY biased against those who wear boxers and boxer-briefs. Me? I go commando, but that's just me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go leave obscene messages on my intern's answering machine."
