Can somebody tell me why Oprah Winfrey's every utterance is reported by the media?
Presumably it's because she has such a big following, but that's even more of a mystery to me. I've watched her show a few times*, usually when she had an interesting guest, but Oprah herself reminds me of the colleague or sister-in-law you take pains to avoid -- way too peppy and always pushing something, especially her opinions.
I don't give a rat's ass what books she recommends, much less which candidate. Yet I'm forced to hear about it if I watch the news or read the paper, which has my knickers in a twist. If people really base their presidential choice on the endorsement of a talk-show host, things are even more depressing than I thought -- and that's really saying something.
* Most recently this episode, which was equally horrifying and riveting.

Well, I generally agree. But I want this country's ignorant masses listening to her rather than Pat Robertson. Word.
Indeed.
You love hoarders! They are fodder for your mill.
The last time I liked Opa was in the movie The Color Purple.
