Billo!

Not a month goes by that I don’t hear from people asking when the Billo Page is going to return.

Those same two people, month in and month out…

A lot has changed since the site first appeared in January of 1997: For one thing, it was a daily blog before the word “blog” even existed. More disconcerting, “Billo” has become a derogatory nickname for Bill O’Reilly, the conservative talk show host and friend to abducted boys everywhere.

One site change this time around is that this software allows for comments. There was a notice on the old site advising readers that the ideas expressed here are Billo’s and he doesn’t really give a damn what you think. That part hasn’t changed, but knock yourself out.

Archives will be added to the site as time permits.

So the Reverend Pat Robertson tells us he warned Bush against invading Iraq because “the Lord told me it was going to be A, a disaster, and B, messy.” What’s troubling here is the Bush claims that God told him that he should invade. And we’re supposed to be worried about John Kerry’s flip-flops???

Assuming neither of these men is actually deluded, we can only assume that God is suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder. I guess we should hope He doesn’t wake up one day and think He’s SkyNet.

Or else it’s possible Bush and Robertson simply never asked for proper identification. “George, go invade Iraq.” “Are you God?” “Um… yeah, whatever, that’s me. Sure, I’m God.”
