Shilling in the name

1. Now that it may no longer matter, it suddenly strikes me as weird that I don't think anyone, including me, ever renamed the longtime Fox News host as Bile O'Really.

2. Although since they didn't, I'll co-endorse Sean Thomason's quip: "Probably the most humiliating thing about being Bill O'Reilly is that most people think his name is 'Teenage Wasteland'".

3. Both Stephen Colbert and my friend Jeffrey-with-2-fs Norman independently joked that O'Reilly, the "nonfiction" author of "Killing Lincoln", "Killing Jesus", and "Killing Reagan", will have to make his next book "Killing My Career". Which is fine, as long as we understand that all of O'Reilly's "Killing Books" are about heroic figures torn down by pure evil. This pattern will continue.
