The Foolish Factor

by Alan Reynolds

Alan Reynolds is a nationally syndicated columnist and a senior fellow with the Cato Institute.

Bill O'Reilly, host of the popular Fox News show The O'Reilly Factor, has been preaching to his flock to buy no gas on Sundays. "Let's send a message to these energy people who operate in the shadows," he says.

That should have been saved for a different part of the show, "The Most Ridiculous Item of the Day."
