built 157 days ago
Oprah is an insanely rich and powerful American talk show host who enjoys giving away cars as if they were lollipops. She is most famous for acknowledging Stephen Colbert and his contribution of truthiness to the English language on her hour-long show.

Oprah's interview with Tom Cruise, which was broadcast on May 23, 2005, has ... gained notoriety. Cruise — according to the The New York Times — "jumped around the set, hopped onto a couch, fell rapturously to one knee and repeatedly professed his love for his new girlfriend." This scene quickly became part of American pop-cultural discourse and was heavily parodied in media as diverse as Saturday Night Live, Family Guy, Hannah Montana and the film Scary Movie 4.

Oprah has ... proven her ability to boost the American economy by getting people to purchase very expensive, useless, gifts from her Christmas show. She has also offered many in her audience canvas bags filled with hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise made in China (employing many sweatshops and aiding trade relations). Yet some of her most outstanding tributes to the Regan influence has been her ability to use the Teflon Effect to speak out against rappers, shielding her from getting capped, and using her ability to communicate with Jean Dixon to expel demons from Tom Cruise.

In spite of tabloid efforts, Oprah's private life has not been ruined by her success. She maintains a long-term relationship with Steadman Graham, a former pro basketball player and Public Relations Executive. The two shared a position at Northwestern University in 1999 teaching a leadership course. They developed the curriculum and plan to return each year.

Many think the Regan charisma possessed by Oprah has hypnotized many Americans into believing her boo-boo does not stink and she can do no wrong. Yet she is not to blame for these beliefs. Neither can she be blamed for her application of the Regan charisma (it’s your milkshake baby). Her ability to influence the thoughts of millions of couch clinging, vacuous, welfare waiting, mentally stunted, liberal “victims” must be attributed to the goodness of the income-tax cuts she employs from the current Bush administration. As Oprah earns more and more, her tax gains continually get factored into her financial equation, unwittingly promoting an “ahhhhhhh” effect from unmotivated viewers and low IQ Hollywood guests.
