Synopsis
The year was 1957, the month September, and I had just turned eight years old. Dwight Eisenhower was President, but in my life it was the diminutive, intense Sister Mary Lurana who ruled, at least in the third-grade class where I was held captive. For reasons you will soon understand, my parents had remanded me to the penal institution of St. Brigid s School in Westbury, New York, a cruel and unusual punishment if there ever was one.
Already, I had barely survived my first two years at St. Brigid s because I was, well, a little nitwit. Not satisfied with memorizing the Baltimore Catechism s fine prose, which featured passages like God made me to show his goodness and to make me happy with him in heaven, I was constantly annoying my classmates and, of course, the no-nonsense Sister Lurana. With sixty overactive students in her class, she was understandably short on patience. For survival, she had also become quick on the draw.
I am a huge O'Reilly fan. I loved this book. I laughed through almost all of it. After reading this book I can definitely see where his personality and politics come from. I would recommend this book to not just my Conservative Fox News friends but anyone!
