    In reply to Oprah Reportedly Ready to Walk Away from Her Show
    This story has been swirling around for awhile. I hear the only way fans of Oprah can see her show is to purchase Oxygen in their cable lineup.

    Good luck with that, Opes.

    Is it just me, or does "Avenues" sound like a bad name for a nightclub? It would, however, make a great name for a celebrity rehab center.

    In reply to Oprah's Tyson/Holyfield Matchup, The Death Knell for Macho
    Andrew, ordinarily the sadification of macho action stars might be true. But any fight fan knows that Tyson is peculiar. He embodies both the best and the worst of the world of boxing. In his prime he was a furious, impeccably-trained monster. Fast, strong, gravity-defying. But he was stupid, and angry, and easy prey for all the people in his life who used him. Maybe some introspection earlier in his life could have saved him a lot of misery so yeah, from an action-hero point of view sure it's sad I guess, if you're trying to write a blog post. But from a human being point of view, it's nice to see Tyson maybe start to escape from those things that have been plaguing him. Tyson's macho was always a poisonous sort of macho. The kind that is all to familiar in society. So why not celebrate that the dude is maybe able to surpass it.

    Also, he lost his daughter about a year ago in a pretty terrible accident, so maybe a little sadification is to be expected?

    New suggestion for a reality show. Why Am I A Celebrity? Imagine all the people who could be on that. Blagojevich could host. We could just put them all in one show and avoid them en masse.

    Oh, satanic ritual abuse scare, how I miss you.

    The book that flashes at the beginning - Satan's Underground - is amazing. Sadly, the number of books I own about this stuff - I studied it in college - makes my bookshelf look a little creepy.

    @maryn: Just funny crackpot kooks in the news. I read something like this on the back pages, and I seek the reassurance from the dateline it's a long way off. But long prison sentences are handed down in places like Texas on these garbage pitiful pogroms, including a neighboring town which we played in football Back When. Don't never be born in Texas, is my moto.

    @Tattertotter: One of my favorite quotes is from Will Smith, around the filming of "Ali." He was asked about civil rights of the era, sit-ins and such, and he said something like, `We don't know nuthin' about sit-ins. We drive Bentleys, man. You don't want me sitting in your diner; I'll buy the building and throw your own keester out in the street.'

    I think Oprah's rise to megalomania started when she switched to all that 'I'm okay, you're okay,' spiritual life-coach crystal visions listen to your inner voice self-help craze. You know, the one where she sang her own show intro and viewers brought notebooks and pens so they could write down all the wisdom Iyanla Vanzant shared, which lead to Dr. Phil, then to 'The Secret,' and now Dr. Oz?

    I just remember a room full of women in our TV Room at the dorm watching Oprah and God FORBID if you made one noise while Iyanla was speaking. GOD FORBID.

    God forbid...

    @Fry_Bread_Power: Dr Dean Edell regularly contributes to the record of Oprah ignorance as a tool of medical malpractice, featuring not only fruit-loops but has-been movie stars who somehow grock the deep secrets of the universe with zero education and less training, like vaccinations as a cause of autism and the mathematical certainty of everyone on earth reigning supreme with positive reinforcement affirmations and true life renderings.
