So, for the past few months, I have been watching the O'Reilly factor, starring... Bill O'Reilly.  I really enjoy watching the Factor because its not just some right-wing show that bashes former president Clinton... and her husband.  Its, as the slogan goes, Fair and Balanced.  He invites on just as many from both sides of the line.  He is open to hear both sides of the argument and lets both sides have their fair share of time to explain. 

Anyways, at the end of his show, almost every night, he has a segment called "The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day", followed by some of his viewers emails.  So I thought, how cool would that be, have Bill O'Reilly, star of the most popular prime time news show, read one of my emails.  So I started sending in some not so pithy emails, to no avail.  I learned quick that Bill likes to bloviate, and not his viewers, so I tried keeping it to the point, but still, 23 emails and nothing! 

HOWEVER! Today, Wednesday this fifteenth day of November in the year two thousand and six, I made it to Prime Time.  The piece I emailed him on was about airport security, and he was basically whining about how he has to take his shoes off to get through security, but only at SOME airports.  So I emailed him this.

"Bill, people I know who frequently travel wear sandals to help speed the metal detector lines.  Maybe you should get some thongs."

Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I choose my words very carefully there, and with intent of a joke.  Regardless, this is what showed up.
