Default An OT question

Getting back to the other issue here, which is more interesting...


Interesting. Sure. What about Jessica Simpson? Or Jaylo?



...and that is the expressions of disdain and even disgust some
have posted here about Oprah.

I've been a fan of Oprah since she won the libel suit brought against
her in the late 1990's by those Texas cattlemen. I don't watch her show,
but I am aware of her presence and many of the good deeds she does with
her money and influence. She publishes a classy magazine, too. I know
that because my wife subscribes and I look through it every month.

My gut tells me Oprah is not liked by a certain element here because:

A. She's black and, even worse, a black woman.
B. She's very influential in many areas, perhaps the most influential
woman in the world.
C. She's a self-made billionaire.
D. She's pretty much dedicated to liberal causes.
E. She helped Obama get elected.

These, to me, are all reasons to admire her, and reasons for the
wigged-out righties to hate her.


I'm not a righty, and don't care one way or the other about Oprah.
Oprah is totally boring to me.
It's a chick show for Chist's sake.
You go ahead and be a fan, Harriet.
More power to ya.


Live long and prosper, Oprah.
