Keith Olbermann and Rush Limbaugh Join Forces in the Name of Shepherds

The two loudest talking heads from both sides of the political isle are now holding hands. They’ve come together to protest against the sheep herder, Aladin Alejandro O’Neil—born in Afghanistan, raised in Mexico, currently residing in Ireland.

Olbermann and Limbaugh are up in arms that O’Neil is starting a world-wide petition to change the name of his profession from “Sheep Herder/Shepherd” to “Sheep Farmer”. O’Neil says, “What a load of bullocks. Sheep Herder and Shepherd are such outdated names for my life’s work, comprende?”

While O’Neil was in the states to meet with the national media outlets to promote his cause, I got a chance to have lunch with him. I told him that Limbaugh said, “This O’Neil fellow is a charlatan. The only reason he wants to change the name of his profession is because he hates his country and wants to be like the French shepherds.” Then Olbermann said, “The reason O’Neil wants to change the name of his profession is because he wants to start a corporate business to consume all the helpless mom and pop shepherds.”

O’Neil responded, “I’m not a sheep herder. I’m a sheep farmer. I farm sheep.” He finishes his burrito, “Aren’t those who farm cattle called cattle farmers? I’ve never heard of anyone making a living from being a cow herder!” He takes a chug of his Guinness and continues, “Wikipedia defines Shepherd as-- a person who tends to, feeds or guards sheep, especially in flocks. The word may also refer to one who provides religious guidance, as a pastor.” He takes a bite of his poppy seed muffin, “I honestly don’t know why Olbermann and Limbaugh are upset with me. It’s not like they're shepherds or something.”
