Review # 1 was written on 2007-10-27 00:00:00 Mike Williams Jesus... let me synapse this book for you, shall I? Bill looks out for the 'little guy.' How is not clear. He repeats it enough that you absorb it and accept it through osmosis if you are not paying attention, so pay attention. Bill is nonpartisan. Bill thinks politicians are generally not honest. George Bush may (may) have fibbed on aspects of minutia dealing with inconsequential matters. Bill Clinton almost assuredly rapes puppies. Little, cute puppies. And then e-mails the photos to random nuns and children. Whom he then rapes. Bill manages to be nonpartisan kinda like that. Bill is a douchebag. That's not a quote from the book, just my opinion after reading it.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-10-07 00:00:00 Shaniqua Jones Bill O'Reilly's "Who's Looking Out For You" is not a bad book. In the beginning of the book he lists what he calls "The Ten Commandants of Parenting." They include the following recommendations: a parent should spend time with their child, provide discipline, educate them, screen their friends, and remove TV's and computers from their child's room et al. He goes on to inform, or re informs in some cases, you that most institutions and the government does not look out for you. He analyzes America's justice system. He said that it looks out for itself. If you enter the justice system as a defendant it is akin to paying dues to become part of a club. The system does not care about you, it cares about itself. He talks about lawyers who defend people when they know the person's guilty. One place that he believes is looking out for you is the church. The church teaches lessons and morality that protects us by helping us make good decisions. He uses the examples of how one of his best friends became a drug addict. He didn't because his church taught him that drugs were wrong and bad. He reveals his trials and tribulations at his various reporting jobs before he became a prime-time news magnate. Out of this he gives some good advice: be independent and tolerant, forgive yourself for mistakes, read and think over and over again, take care of your body, separate yourself from "toxic" people and cultivate friendships with good people.
