I realize Bill O Reilly is big news around the web and on cable, I love his show for the techniques of interviewing and disposition he exhibits, I only wish he would quit excusing himself from confronting people who show themselves so simply as inept in the subject matter they discuss at times. Tonight Jane Fleming-Kleeb was on and talking about money and gas, and insurance (again); and, I could see that Bill wanted to say something about it but he insists on helping bad interviewees try to control their spiraling logic. I wrote the email to him below and sent it before I realized how long it was, my mistake. So, in case it isn't read, I present it to y'all ( I'm from the south, Southern California that is) for your perusal:
"Bill, Why do you insist on letting the leftist pundits beat you to death. I have a family of six, my wife, me, 2 teens, and a 7 and 8 year old. With $4.00 gas I get a week's worth of driving in my van (20-28 mpg) by PLANNING my trips. I also feed all of us by shopping ALDI, Wal-Mart, Kroger and SAM'S Club. I can feed all of us for about 60-70 dollars a week. That includes 4-6 lbs of bananas, 5-8 Bell peppers, 3-5 ounces of protein per meal (lean meat), cereal and salads. The meals are not simple "out of the box" quick fixes. I am a reasonably skilled chef and chose to work with fresh foods. Jane is not shopping Wal-Mart with a budget, and is certainly not pro actively buying on sale for future meals preparation. And about the 47 million uninsured, that's people who are uninsured for some period of time during one calendar year, and not all at once, there may be 3-4 % (should have read13-14% of the "unisured")) who are not uninsured for a complete year, and there are a vast amount of people who are self insured (read, well invested) and many who listened to Bush and started HSA's with High deductible accounts, who are also counted as uninsured at times to boost numbers because the deductible is covered by their own managed medical savings. Quit the defensive stance and start kicking some hind end, these people have never been spanked for their stupidity. Regards, Bill Reis"
I thank God every day for bootin' me when I deserved it and forcing me to pay attention to what is happening around me and what is being said as well. Let's see where this goes Amer'ca!
