MacOS X

1. A hybrid of the original Macintosh operating system and NextStep, based on Mach and FreeBSD and designed as the native system for recent-model Mac hardware.
2. Bad-ass rock-stable OS for people who actually want to get work done and don't want to screw around with drivers for 8000 different chipsets and security holes the size of the Ted Williams Tunnel.
3. Something PC zealots completely deny the existence of.

limousine liberals

Wealthy people whose political beliefs are nominally on the left side of the spectrum, but tend to have a rather hypocritical view of liberal agendas, being happy to write checks but unwilling to support them once they start affecting their private schools and gated communities.

Limousine liberals are the kind that silly old saying refers to when it says "if you're not a conservative by 30 you have no brain". If you're going to be a knee-jerk NIMBY, you may as well be a conservative, no matter how you vote.

Bill O'Reilly

A professional bully with an "angry regular guy" schtick employed by Fox News. His main virtue is that he actually thinks for himself, unlike many other prominent conservative personalities; unfortunately, that virtue is lost in the knee-jerk hatemongering, bullying behavior, and frequent and well-documented lying that he does.

I want to respect Bill O'Reilly, I really do, but what nice things can you say about a guy who tried to browbeat the son of a 9/11 survivor just because he was against the Iraq war?
