Mmmm...Cupcakes

I like to watch the O'Reilly factor for two reasons: 1. The War on Christmas segments and 2. The use of the term secular progressive. When Bill says etiher of these things, it touches me in places that one man should not touch another man. But now I have a third reason: Lessons in logical deduction.

The other night, Bill had on two proponents for same-sex parenting. Bill responded that same-sex parenting goes against nature:
You know the old commercial -- don't fool around with Mother Nature? What you're doing is you're taking Mother Nature and you're throwing it right out the window, and I just think it's crazy. I really do. And that's not based on religion or morals or -- Annie [sic], you're a good person, Norah's a good person. All right? But it's just that you say, "Hell with nature -- the hell with it. We're going to do what we want. It's just as good. And you guys are crazy." And that's what you're saying.


Bill further backed up his thesis that same-sex parenting was somehow unnatural with this logical gem:
You know, why wouldn't -- why wouldn't nature then make it that anybody could get pregnant by eating a cupcake?


To specify Bill analogy: Same-sex parenting is to heterosexual parenting as eating a cupcake is to getting pregnant.

It's genius. Absurdist genius.

I have a new theory: the only people who watch O'Reilly (and actually like him) are at best as dumb as him and at worst much dumber. Or, put differently, if you agree with what O'Reilly says, then you have to be at best as stupid as him and at worst much stupider.
