i heart america

you know, oprah kills me. i have had many a heated discussion about oprah--in doctorate level education classes, in teachers' lounges, with friends--everyone debating if oprah's acts are beneficial or superficial.

regardless of the oprah effect, people go bonkers over her, especially when she gives away free shit. for oprah to give away all this crap is the equivalent of me giving a street musician a dollar, but lord have mercy, her studio audience goes buck wild.

what could oprah do that would make me lose my shizz on national television and act a fool? hmmmmm.......

oprah, you could:
1. buy me a brownstone in brooklyn and let me renovate it with an endless budget
2. pay off our college loans and the loans of everyone who takes them out study education (because we'll never make enough to pay them off ourselves!)
3. fund my school, but let ME make all the spending decisions
4. buy out all SUV makers so that those asinine cars get abolished
5. totally fund a non-profit i'd love to start that sends inner-city high school students on international travel/work trips

oprah, i promise if you did the above (probably even ONE of the above), i'd cry, pee my pants, scream, and wriggle down the aisle to you like a snake to kiss your wrinkle-less face! i swear!
