I personally don’t have anything against Bill, he’s pretty fair, he just leans to the right. He’s nothing compared Rush Limbaugh whom I will never forgive for the downright insensitive things he said when Jerry passed, only to have his own drug problems later on.

Monday, Mar. 30

Bill O’Reilly (The O’Reilly Factor); performance from Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Warren Haynes (The Dead)
