Now how will I know what to read?

Barack Obama: hated by the Republican Party, the Catholic Church and other pedophiles.

Watch what you snort. Saline solution is safest.

Fear not, fat be-spandexed trooper. Oprah has plenty of alternative means to send out the marching orders.

Wow, one hour with Snowbilly & her clan did the O in.

Oprah who?

OPRAH! Y’know. That fat character on Star Wars.

See, if Barack Obama had brought his crystal ball and magic wand back from Kenya, we wouldn’t have these problems.
Instead, he apparently gave both to Oprah.

Cuba will no longer be a popular vacation destination if Americans are beached on its beaches.

Holy Cow!! November 20, 2009 at 10:25 am

She’s going to replace Biden in 2012 as VP.

You read here first.

It would rock if Oprah were exiling herself to Cuba in order to avoid ever having to fluff Sarah Palin again.

I’ve been expecting the O to quit for a while now. Her show has gotten so predictable. Monday, fat ladies “it’s not my fault” day. Tuesday, cavalcade of chatty-self-promoting-I’ve-got-a-new-movie stars. Wednesday, “God, that’s hideous, but I’m getting used to it” deformed faces on parade. Thursday, Suze Orman / child molesters. Friday, I’m giving away sofas!

Or maybe she is atoning for the horror that is Dr.Philandhiswife.

I am proud to say that in 23 years, I have never, ever, seen a full episode of “Oprah.” Never!

[re=463362]thefrontpage[/re]: Me too! How have we been able to survive?

MarieDeGournay November 20, 2009 at 11:21 am

[re=463296]gurukalehuru[/re]: win. And anyone who has concern about lessening the suffering of this world.

Lascauxcaveman November 20, 2009 at 11:28 am

[re=463362]thefrontpage[/re]: I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a full minute of Oprah, as the rapidity of my channel surfing is even faster on those rare times I’ve got the teevee on midday.

I understand she’s quite popular with middle-aged women of all ages and races?

JMP November 20, 2009 at 11:34 am

[re=463387]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: Unemployed middle-aged women; it’s on when most productive people are working.

I’d like to think that Oprah has finally gotten a sense of shame for inflicting Dr. Phil, the Secret and now the child-killer Jenny McCarthy on the world. But she probably just wants more time to spend with her giant piles of money.

sludjbunni November 20, 2009 at 11:53 am

[re=463359]snoidoid[/re]: [re=463398]JMP[/re]: She can never atone for the pox that is “Doctor” Phil.

Well, maybe if she worked with the lepers of Calcutta for the next couple centuries. But they would have to be real lepers, not some crap-pile of faux lepers hawking “I Rose from Leprosy” “books.”

Brendan M. November 20, 2009 at 12:27 pm

Oprah is ending her show on 9/9/11.

9/9/11 = 9 x 9/11!!!

Hooray For Anything November 20, 2009 at 12:31 pm

Yeah, go Congress, go. You tell Obama it’s about time to he passes regulatory control laws and to stop being in the pockets of financial industry lobbyists. And you go tell Obama to pass legislation to help the economy. And while you’re at it, go tell him to pass legislation on health care and the environment too.

Geez Louise, it’s like Obama is acting like he doesn’t have any power to legislate.

Bruno November 21, 2009 at 6:07 pm

I think Oprah should come up with a new gimmick for the last year, like that everyone has to be naked on the show or something. If this applied to audience members, ratings would driver her out within a few months
