[lbo-talk] Salon: "Oprah's Ugly Secret"

[Rich Balls]

oprah's message is the same that religious  hucksters have been using 
for decades.  only their "thoughts" are thoughts/prayers about god.  
just pray, send the reverend money and it will come back to you ten 
fold.  you might even get a prayer rug, about 3 inches by 4 inches of 
cheap cloth, with it.  hallelujah
