That made me wonder...why don't we see the pictures of the dead, their caskets,
etc, like we did when Bush was president.

We used to see their pictures on NBC and other newscasts, and even in the big
papers. Now we see nothing of the sort.

Anyone?


Lets all pitch in to buy Herring a Casket !!!!

That's absurd. Watching Oprah would be a terrific idea for some of the
righties here, who are totally devoid of compassion.

Would you think so if she were a fat white lady

I keep telling my wife that, but she doesn't listen to me.

Besides, that wasn't the point. (As you well know.)

Your wife seems to be a decent person. You are a piece of ****. That
probably explains it, eh?

My guess:

News sells.... bad news sells good. When the troop casualties were
increasing, it was salable news. Now that they have dropped
significantly, it isn't the moneymaker it was... and the supply has
diminished...

..... yes, it is macabre and disgusting... but that is what keeps a
news corporation in the black....

http://icasualties.org/oef/ByYear.aspx






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

....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.

Live long and prosper, Oprah.

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

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.

Sounds to me that you are overcompensating for shameful atrocities you
and your ancestors perpetrated on blacks and Jews. Are you a former KKK
Klansman?
BTW D and E is all that's needed to make her one of those steeenkin
groupies.
