New peeve thread???

[RICHARD]

Half a world away a political stories are being written (Iran, Hamas, Israel, Sharon having a stroke) and the top news is Oprah whining that she was duped into promoting a book that was a pack of lies.

Yep, the moron got duped and now she has to put the Oprah machine into reverse becase she is the cornerstone of truth, justice and the American way...and because she can make, or break, an author she has to make things right!!

So, instead of putting it behind her (far easier when she was a woman of size) she now has to clear her good name and spend an hour yelling at this guy on her show....and it all makes headline news?

She should take a look at her magazine first..

A little trivia?

Which celebrity has appeared more times on the cover of Oprah magazine?

Having never opened that package of tripe, I can only imagine what stories reside within...


Lose 800 tons on the Oprah fig diet?
Manage your life with Oprah's 10 second daily planner?
Release your inner talk show host with Oprah's tips?

100% pure, unadulterated truth!

Richard - you read "O".........who woulda thunk it!!

Of course, after the beating up this guy took on her show - now he will sell more books than ever imagined. He will retire somewhere quietly a very wealthy man.

[RICHARD]

Richard - you read "O".........who woulda thunk it!!

The Story of "O", yes!
Oprah, NO!!!!!

-------------------------------------

Here's a GREAT peeve...

Ken Starr, the prosecutor that went after Bill Clinton has asked Ahr-nold
to pardon a moron who is on death row......

Why?


Because he apologized for the murders.

"I am sorry...."

Those three little words that make everything all right.

So, if BC had apologized, Starr would have backed off?

[gini]

Richard, I just can't leave this alone..........

YOU - the champion of saying something outrageous followed immediately by "I'm sorry"!!!!

Ben Franklin was an idiot.

He figured out electricity which has allowed us to....

Miss your page.
Get computer viruses.
Panic in blackouts.
Have to listen to alarm clocks.
and get shocked at every turn with static electricity!

Judging by what Attorney General Gonzalez told the senate the other day.....Washington and Lincoln used electronic eavesdropping during wartime....electricity must have been around before old Ben discovered it!

Normally I don't mention peeve, but.....my husband has the habit of responding ...."what do you mean _________." Example. When I was sitting up at 4:30 in the morning reading a book I answered his question as to why. He responded..."what do you mean you can't sleep?"

How do I answer that??????? How many different things can "not sleep" mean????

[Cataholic]

ES- Don does that? How funny. I would think it is his reflexive comment, used to buy a few moments, when necessary, and now a habit.

My peeve? I listen to AM radio pretty exclusively- except when I throw a musical nonsensical CD in for the wee one. So, I hear phone call after phone call on the early morning callins. My peeve? You call a talk radio show, proportedly to make a comment- and spend the next 60 seconds umming and ahhing, without a single, coherent, logically flowing sentence? Shoot, forget the sentence! I will go with even 4 words strung together that represent a point!

I'm sorry, I had to laugh. But trust me, it was a laugh of experienced understanding!

Exactly! That's all you can say. And then, you fumble around and in your head you're thinking "What the crap? How am I supposed to further explain, or define, my lack of sleep? This is not making any sense." (That's what goes through my head.) Also, it irritates me when I say something and people repeat what I just said. Like, if I said I can't sleep and my husband says, "You can't sleep?" as if he has to double check. Um, yeah. That's what I just said.
