Beat me to it, but since I just watched it [here’s](http://video.foxnews.com/v/3142612336001/bill-oreillys-super-bowl-interview-with-president-obama/#sp=show-clips) the video of the interview and O’Reilly most certainly does ask about all those things. Not the Antichrist thing of course. ---

Well, of course not. That Obama is the Antichrist is a thing too well-known to be worth mentioning. ---

Now that I’ve read that transcript that **Clothahump** linked to and compared it to the video, I don’t know what interview it came from but it most certainly wasn’t the most recent pre-Superbowl one. ---

I was _poking fun_ at you, shitforbrains. :rolleyes: The fact that you even think the question would have been plausible says all it needs to. ---

Apparently O’Reilly pushed one of samclem’s buttons. Does that mean he got “turned on?” ---

> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > **Johnny,** if you come in here to tell us that should be _Ave Hitlero!_ or whatever the vocative case is, we **will** find you. Oh, I think most Latinists would slot ‘Hitler’ into ‘second declension masculine in -er’. To wit: Hitler Hitlerī Hitlerō Hitlerum Hitlerō This would of course be one of those nouns whose meaning changes in the plural. In this case, _Hitlerī_ would be a collective term for people whose opinions differ from the speaker’s own. I’ve never actually seen anything but the vocative used with _avē_, but there is a logic to it. I have once seen a second declension in -er use -ere to form the vocative, in a book called Plautus in Comics, but I have assurances from Tunberg & Minkova that this is definitely not cricket. Now that I’ve bored all the squares shitless with the above, the message to the rest is as follows: the party is at Speedo’s “house”, toga optional, own bottle and dice essential. ---

Who you callin’ a ‘square’? I’d say anyone that constantly talks about a musty dusty dead old language is a ‘square’. 😃 ---
