Bill O'Reilly and John Stewart Debate on Saturday October 6, 2012

October 5th, 2012 · No Comments · Uncategorized

I’m one of those strange people who’s a fan of both Bill O’Reilly and John Stewart. Liberals tend to brand Bill O’Reilly as a demagogue. Conservatives tend to brand Stewart as a socialist.

I’ve been on a housecleaning tear lately, and one of the things I started to do was throw out my old business school textbooks.
