Migratory birds

Bill O'Reilly is speaking at the Philosophical Society of Trinity College Dublin next week. The Irish Times has an interview (subs. req'd). From the interview, he seems much more fixated on the traditional moral flashpoints than war on terror issues, so it may not generate quite the fireworks of a year and a half ago with Cliff May at the same venue. At least the phil has managed to display more sense in choice of provocative guest than the Oxford Union, which inexplicably picked reactionary right goon Jonah Goldberg to take the US side in the debate linked to the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown settlement.

UPDATE: It's less and less clear what the Oxford Union expects to get from their debate, other than a shout-fest.
