Happy Solstice indeed,Its perfect that we have these great examples of solstice stories, they remind me of the old "christmas" traditions, just as those traditions remind me of the old pagan beliefs. Such as decorating with holly and putting up the festive "christmas tree"I think it's great that we can all put aside our differences and focus on how humanity has, for eons, celebrated the longest darkness and return to light in so many ways, without needing to focus on our own particular favorite way as having any special importance.Happy Solstice to all!
I know that you've got to be kidding. Bill O'Reilly is not advocating Solstice - he hates it. He goes for the new-fangled, crazy-assed worship of the alleged union between a ghost and a jewish teenaged "virgin" in the middle east two thousand years ago. When she shit out the little bastard "wise men" came with presents for it. The freak is supposed to be a great god that can keep you from burning for eternity in his father's proud kingdom of hell - presided over by another type of god, the "devil" (also created by the fuck-up father), whom the whole lot of the stupid trinity seems unable to control - or perhaps they rely on Satan for their insatiable need for the worship and subservience of humans.

O'Reilly is just an asshole from Long Island that pretends to be "tough". Howard Stern, no great mind himself, told him to shut-up on the "No-Spin Zone" show the other night, and O'Reilly backed down - only to mock Stern the next night when Howard wasn't there.

P.S. O'Reilly is against abortion, AND the death penalty. Of course, he's rich enough to live in luxury and doesn't have to worry much about being victimized by the scum that he'd let loose on the rest of us. He can also afford escorts and bodyguards, because he'd shit in his pants if anybody even remotely was in any way agressive to him when, or if, they were alone. This guy couldn't hold his own against a bar rag, or an intelligent mind for that matter. Even his liberal nemesis Al Frankin could twist him into a pretzel, in a debate OR in a fight.

Happy Solstice!
