Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The bestselling author ofThe O'Reilly Factor, The No Spin Zone, and Who's Looking Out for You? talks straight to kids this time. He is as demanding, direct, and wry asever—but he's also more revealing too, sharing candid snapshots of his own childhood throughout.
Bill O'Reilly, a former schoolteacher, now an award-winning broadcast news journalist, husband, and father of two, joins forces with an experienced educator to bring you, America's youth, a code of ethics by which to live. In this latest book, Bill takes to task bullies, cheaters, advertisers who target you irresponsibly, and parents who fight for their children to win undeserved honors instead of earning them on their own merit.
He lays bare the unvarnished truths about sex, money, smoking, drugs, alcohol, and friends. What he has to say about these issues may very well surprise you. He offers coping devices for those enduring a divorce, struggling with teacher, parent, or sibling relationships, and planning their futures. He also shares wisdom on such subjects as death, politics, and God.
Whether you take the tests he's provided, take the advice he doles out, or just take a cue from the personal stories he shares, you're bound to make smarter choices in your life, and that's all Bill asks for.

Loofah Day
On September 1 people will go to any Rupert Murdoch owned facility and wave loofahs. September 1, 2004 was the night Bill O'Reilly made a lewd phone call to his Fox producer Andrea Mackris, and depicted a prospective encounter between the two of them in which a loofah played a significant role. Subsequent disclosure of O'Reilly's antics led to the public humiliation of the Fox News commentator and he was forced to pay an undisclosed sum. It's believed to be anywhere from $2 million to $10 million to ensure Ms Mackris' silence.
September 1 2008 is Loofah Day.
Ah, but the children's book here. Well I can't recommend it. But don't take my word for it, read O'Reilly's fan's reviews and "You Decide".

As a Bill O'Reilly viewer, I felt this book would be a good way to help our adolescent grandchildren look at themselves and see their potential and at others around them as well.

As a "Factor" watcher and conservative, I was disappointed with the book. I have 4 kids and I am trying to pass on our morals and values. Bill is smug in the book (yes, he's a bit smug on tv, too). I didn't like the 'do as I say, not as I do' attitude. He shares a lot of what he did wrong growing up, and says not to do it. I don't like that approach. How about sharing what to do that is right for the right reasons and leaving your bad examples out. Glad I read it before my kids so they don't read it.

Just look at that mug. Go, do it now. Look at that face. Look at the blush on the cheeks, the airbrushing. The makeup. That's the best they could make O'Reilly look. That is a team of people who make their living taking pictures of weird looking people and making them seem human, and this is the BEST they could do.
I'm not fooled. I'm not going to sit here and bash O'Reilly. If you're thinking about buying the book in the very first place, it's too late for you. But maybe not for your kids. There still might be hope. The bottom line is, you wouldn't buy a children's book written by SATAN himself. Look at that face again. Think "SATAN". Do it again. As you stare at those beady little eyes, that crooked nose, the Bosley Medical hair implants, try and tell me that he is not the physical earthly manifestation of SATAN himself.
Save lives, don't buy this book.

I was hesitant to buy this book cause of all the bad reviews, but i did anyway; and im glad i did. Im 19 and this book gave me a lot of inspiration and wisdom. The book is smart but it appeals directly to kids my age (and younger too.) He talks about a lot of issues that most kids feel like they cant bring up to their parents, such as drugs, sex, alchohal that kindove thing. But anyway im really happy i ignored those negative comments, and you should too if your thinking of buying the book. I notice that a lot of the ppl giving the bad reviews are doing it because they dont like Bill, because the book i read was one of the best books on the subject of teen issues. So buy this book for your kids, i promise you wont regret it!
