The Teflon Oprah
Everything tha The Oprah touches, turns to gold.
We know this from the products she uses to the presidential candidates she supports and from the books she sells….and causes she has helped champion.
Do not lie or cross The Oprah, though.
She will bring you back on national TV to excoriate you.
Isn’t that what happened to James Frey? She brought him back on the show after helping him sell millions of books to tell him – in front of her vast audience – that “You conned us all.” They titled the show ‘The Man Who Kept Oprah Awake at Night’, just to prove how much The Oprah cares about getting things right! The Oprah cares about her people so much!!
What do you think the show will be called when they have to apologize for putting children at risk for putting the likes of McCarthy on the air?
To whom will The Oprah direct her statement of “You conned us all?” Do you think she's been kept awake at night?
Anything?
If The Oprah cares so much about the children, why wouldn’t she hurry and make sure parents know about the autism fraud perpetrated on the world by a few?
Of course, it may not matter.
She wasn’t responsible for it. Or the books she pushes.
It has been said...
It has been said that 42% of all statistics are made up....
Unless of course we are talking about liberal hate mongers, then that number skyrockets.

Hello Russ Feingold....
With all of your complaining about NAFTA, I am sure you will be out with a statement about Obama's new Chief of Staff any time now.
After all, Bill Daley was Secretary of Commerce when NAFTA was passed, it is his baby.

On repealing Obamacare....
This will not earn me any vast right wing conspiracy reward points....
I find the move to repeal Obamacare by the new Congress to be silly. 1. Harry Reid will not allow it to come for a vote. 2. Even if it made it through the Senate, Obama would never sign it.
Why waste time doing something that is simply symbolic? Conventional wisdom is saying you do that to put the Senate Dems and Obama on record again as supporting it. Who cares? Everyone already knows they support it.
I am all for the repeal of Obamacare but what happened to the replace part? All the rhetoric after the bill passed was repeal and replace, that whole replace part of the equation got dropped. We do need reform, I'm all for reform, just not the reforms designed to destroy that the left put into place. Open up competition across state lines, reign in lawsuits, be rid of mandated coverages that increase costs, etc.
I wanted the new Congress to be a serious one that would tackle real problems: debt, jobs, government growth, immigration, protecting our borders, terrorism.
Granted, after one day it is way too early to pass judgment but I firmly believe this first move is a mistake.

This is moving forward?
the short list:
True Life
Jersey Shore
16 & Pregnant
16 & Pregnant (season 2)
AMTV Fircest Females
I Used to be Fat
Made
Teen Mom
Teen Mom (season 2)
Still want your MTV?
The other day my step-daughter was watching The Jesey Shore. I could only hear the TV.
It was difficult to understand complete sentences with all the bleeping involved.
And no, I'm not averse to swearing. I worked construction, swear enough to make most people around me somewhat uncomfortable...and it was even a bit much even for me.

Red wing black birds fall out of the sky, scientists blame "fireworks"?
Wait, they'll get around to blaming global warming.
