Bill O'Reilly, a "Horror"ible person.

I ahve all sorts of opinions about Kwanzaa, none of which would be considered politically correct.

Just to give a hint about my thoughts, this is a day to celebrate the African heritage of African Americans. I have no problem with that. However, the man who created the day (in the 60s, I think, but can't recall his name) created a whole ritual based on corn and the importance to African Americans and their African heritage. The problem is that corn isn't grown in Africa, and it wasn't until they were in the Americas as slaves that Africans ever saw corn. Doesn't seem to have a lot to do with African heritage.

Just always thought that was funny.
