Sic 'im, Oprah!

Did y'all (yes, I say y'all now - I mean, I Do? live in Atlanta now) catch that hot mess on TV yesterday and the media fallout? Of course I'm talking about the James Frey-Oprah showdown that simply hijacked the nation.

Look, I love my job; really I do. But sometimes we focus on some crazy ish, don't we! I mean, a TERRORIST government just got elected in the Middle East and we're all panting over how some over-medicated con man pimped the most influential American and her flock of sheep into making him rich. Can you believe Joe Scarborough devoted an entire hour to that last night? People, people, where are our priorities?

The President just denounced a parliamentary-elected (albeit openly terrorist) government yesterday - basically pissing on those heralded principles of "democracy" and "freedom" so many of our men and women are dying for over in Iraq - and all we care about is how James Frey stole $28 bucks of our money! I love Oprah - believe me, I do. But I was a little busy re-reading a certain Edwardo Jackson offering when this whole A Million Little Pieces non-controversy broke out.

At the end of the day, this dude is gonna be even more rich because of this whole media-inflated deal. If you're in the business of promoting "faction," Oprah, I've got a great little book written by a friend of mine...
