Bill O'Reilly, novelist
As Brando points out in his "Bill O"Reilly's Brain Flees Body" post on Circle Jerk, The Factor's host has written a ... has written ... written a ... a .... novel.
unless the acronym GNN has a different meaning, it is also the news network prominently featured in the "Left Behind" series. Because of my extremely slutty/masochistic reading habits, I'm actually curious to check one of those out. However, I a) refuse to purchase one, and b) am afraid that taking one out of the library will somehow stain me forever in a way I cannot yet foresee. Oh well. Curiosity killed something or other, I suppose.
I, too, have a perverse curiosity about the Left Behind series, but have ducked actually acquiring them. I saw a couple of them at The Book End. Other used bookshops around town surely stock these -- they are the best-selling fiction in the country, after all.
You should definitely read the hilarious review of the three Left Behind movies on Slate.
MSF, I would think that checking out the Left Behind Series from the library might perhaps inoculate you from the FBI, given that we now live in a theocracy.
Alternatively, you could engage in some minor subversive activity by, say, placing anthrax or another bioweapon in its pages. Something to consider!
(Dear FBI minders, do not arrest me! I am kidding!)
The fabulous World O' Crap blog did a comparison between O'Reilly's novel and Pamela Anderson's Star Struck (which is about a young celebrity who runs into homeless man and kills him with her giant, fake breasts).

Woo hoo, blog traffic! Thanks, Grendel.
