"This was a really fun interview with David Silverman,.."

I would be interested to know how others feel about Mr. Silverman and what he is doing on behalf of American atheists.

Also mentioned in the above interview clip is this priceless video.

Bill O'Reilly wins award for stupidity

1. As a rule of thumb, if Fox invites one back, it's because he/she either supports what Fox claims ...

... or does a poor job refuting it. I'm convinced that the vast majority of "Democrats" they have on their shows are not really trying to represent Democratic Party principles or positions.

3. Or because they know the guest will pull in ratings

You don't have to worry about "proving" anything to FOX viewers. They don't turn on O'Reilly because their minds are empty vessels desiring to be filled. They tune in because O'Reilly is essentially professional wrestling for the 35-and-up demographic.

4. That O'Reilly interview gave is this great meme (Are You Serious Face):

5. Ask Melanie McGuire...

Off-topic, but I can't resist. Especially since Ms. McGuire could have also used that Insane Clown Posse meme: "Fucking tides, how do they work...?"

In a sad but common story, Ms. McGuire's marriage fell to pieces.

And so did her husband. She dismembered him and stuffed his component parts into several suitcases.

She threw the suitcases off a bridge in New Jersey. A few days later, all the suitcases washed ashore in Virginia.

Edit for minor geological error...

6. I actually followed that case somewhat closely

Yes, either Melanie didn't know much about the tides in the area of Chesapeak bay or she didn't study much about how parts of decomposing bodies produce gases which tend to make the body float above water without a heavy weight tied on them to drag them to the bottom of the bay as food for fishes.

7. She's been on a couple of true-crime shows.

The "Snapped" series on the Oxygen Channel. And at least one show on The ID Channel. Probably "Wives With Knives," but I may be wrong about that.

A couple of other cases in I remember in the same...uh...vein:

Larisa Shuster - brilliant chemist with a Ph.D and her own very successful business. Dumped her ex-husband head-first into a 55-gallon drum of sulfuric acid. The coroner was pretty sure she did that while he was still alive.

Omeima Rhee - Egyptian woman who married a much older sugar daddy in Orange County, CA. For one month. After Thanksgiving dinner, Omeima clobbered and dismembered hubby, trying (unsuccessfully) to grind up the evidence in the kitchen garbage disposal. At her trial she claimed to have cooked his ribs and eaten them with a nice barbecue sauce. She later denied that, so she was probably trying (unsuccessfully) to cop an insanity plea.

8. I bet Melanie was raised as a Christian, too.

Just guessing.
