Most Ridiculous Item of the Day.

(From Fox News Channel)

Byline: Bill O'Reilly

O'REILLY: Time now for the "Most Ridiculous Item of the Day". Tomorrow, Friday, I will be sitting in this chair broadcasting, hopefully to you.

Now, I'm supposed to be off, but with the new terror front unfolding, I will be here. Ridiculous? Only if you don't show up. Then I give up my day off for nada. Not good. Very ridiculous. We'll see you tomorrow.

And finally tonight the mail. Our shootout with Congressman Albert Wing got high rates on BillOReilly.com premium members. Don Benz, Fort Collins, Colorado: "Bill, in your conversation with the congressman, you stated that Iraq is a mess. I know Baghdad is unsafe but much of the rest of the country seems to be doing well. What is the truth?" According to our military analyst, Mr. Benz, U.S. and Iraqi forces still cannot control the killer (ph) militias that continue to murder civilians. Those terrorists have prevented Iraq from advancing economically, and the folks living in Iraq still feel they are in danger.

Jerry Herron, Ramstein, Germany: "Bill, your methodical questions provided insight into the congressman's shaky knowledge of geopolitical matters." Dana Hill, Woodland Hills, California: "I am against the Iraq war but do realize that Iran is a grave threat. So please, Bill, do not equate anti-Iraq war people with a weak war on terror stance." Legitimate request, sir, but there's no question in my mind that if the U.S. pulls out of Iraq now, Iran doubles its power. See, you might want to consider that. Paul Christofanelli, Phoenix, Arizona: "O'Reilly, if you wait until the government hits your head with a hammer it will be too late. They are slowly encroaching on our rights." Don't see it, sir and believe me, if I saw it, I'd be yelling about it.

G.C. Wood, Taylorsville, Utah: "John Dean is right. Our Fourth Amendment rights are a joke today." Nobody's searching my house, office or car, Mr. Wood. If somebody is doing that to you, please let me know.
