For the Little Neo-cons in Your Life

Emily Udell

In late September HarperCollins will be publishing The O'Reilly Factor for Kids, in which the Fox News pundit promises to "bring you, America's youth, a code of ethics by which to live." In this upcoming volume, O'Reilly "lays bare the unvarnished truths about sex, money, smoking, drugs, alcohol, and friends." Yikes. According to the description: "[O'Reilly] 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."
