Leap Second Lovers Are Traitors Says Bill
O'Reilly (181 comments )
(by Steve Martin)

"This year's leap second is an assault on the
American public," says commentator Bill O'Reilly.
"The reason the leap second is even being
proposed is because of America Haters, because of
Iraqi hate mongers, and let's be honest, Shiites.
Why would you add a second to the year unless
you're an anti-American hate monger?

I remember liberals at a party saying, 'let's add
a second to the year' and I was the only one who
spoke up against it. Why would they want to add a
second to the year? Because it gives them a
second longer to hate Bush.

"Look, look, look, look. A leap second is a
denial of everything American, of everything
good, of everything moral. They're saying we need
this second because the earth rotates on its axis
and revolves around the earth, well this is the
no spin zone. So we don't need a leap second.
Though I would rather have a leap second than
some of these hate-mongers who go around hating
even their own ideas! They need to hate their own
ideas so much that you have many liberals
proposing the leap second, which is an idea that
they hate, yet, they propose.

"I am so so so so upset with these people, who
actually believe their ideas, yet, I have no hate
in my heart. I am a simple guy, who only has my
own true beliefs and a few products that are my
cornerstone to fight against the leap second
poobah. Let me say it aloud: Leap Second, leap
second, leap second. Doesn't it sound ugly?

"Please, don't let these Darwinian
leap-seconders, who believe that the planets
revolve around the sun, who believe that rocks
are sedimentary, igneous and stalactites, who are
innocent dim-wit believers in a faith bordering
on hating everything religious like trees and
fruitcake, yet, who don't believe in John
7:12:45:67:89, have their say.

"But you know what I love? Dialogue. Rational
dialogue which allows me to say that aliens from
a Iraqi loving planet want to abolish Christmas
by adding a leap second to the Darwinian anti-God
year. Dialogue is what keeps the American system
God-loving and anti non-God. It also keeps the
anti-God loving non-Iraqi loving insurgent
deniers able to voice their hideous so-called
opinions over the American loving tolerant
airways. And now let's take some calls."
