Oprah, Dave. Dave, Oprah.
The cold war between television titans Oprah Winfrey and David Letterman has thawed to the point where Winfrey has accepted Letterman's invitation to appear on the "Late Show" on Dec. 1.

Terri Garr was FINALLY back on his show last week. He told her she saved his show back in the day.
I have a feeling Steadman isn't interested in girls.
I don't think Steadman is interested in Oprah. But her money on the other hand...
I can't believe it either!! I love Martina McBride, and she is coming to Springfield. One can win front row seats to her concert by watching Oprah. I don't love anyone enough to watch Oprah in order to win tickets!!
I Love that!! WIsh I knew how to steal it LOL
The depth of my indifference knows no bounds...
I would like to believe this happens, but I was disappointed by the "the Super Bowl of love" fisaco. I can't be hurt like that again.
10. "Keep the questions short...the less you talk the better"
9. "Don't take too long in the welcoming hug; Stedman is huge and he could kick your butt"
8. "You two can start a club of people who won't marry their mates"
7. "Don't bother asking - - She ain't giving you a car"
6. "Create a safe emotional space where she can express any conflicted feelings that - - Oh hell, I don't even know what I'm saying"
5. "Is it too late to get Koppel to interview her?"
4. "Grovel"
3. "Try not to be 'all handsy" backstage"
2. "Don't humiliate her by asking her to read a lousy Top Ten List"
1. "Dave, for once in your life try not to be a dumbass"
When they quit calling them bastards, they'll think it is okay, and make more of them.
Oh, wait; they already did...Love Child and other songs, as well as movies, TV, and unmarried celebs, glamorize making bastards, and it is now a HUGE percentage of all children born.
It is NOT a stigma to the child, but damned well should be for the "parents".
Drop the "love child" stuff.
Amen to that, AR! Hollywood and too many people think it's just fine to leave kids with one parent and not call it bastardy. The damage done to those children who feel no shame, who are not socially pressured to do other than their pisspoor parents did, is lasting and has real repercussions societally.
Yet while conservatives stew about government incentivizing illegitimate kids through AFDC, none has the cojones to call out the bastards that are produced--and when I say bastards, I mean the two folks who refuse to marry AND the kid.
I just couldn't disagree more with any stigma placed on a kid. I am really not out here to name-call in the name of social engineering.
Whatever.
Just allow every social issue to be social engineered out of existence by going along with letting it be redefined by the Left, to avoid offending Liberals.
Now, if we were advocating droping the term "bastard" in favor of, "F***ling: noun: 1. The unintended by-product of sex, to be aborted or born at the whim of the pregnant female; 2. The offspring of unwed partners." I just might agree with you.
Just WHAT is all the hoopla about Oprah?She spouts a lot of New Age cliches and repeats the old self esteem nostrums ad infinitum.She is mesmerized by celebrities and seems to have this huge ego that needs to be constantly affirmed.
She IS a business and marketing genius,however,and I give her more than her fair share of credit for that.
"I don't think Steadman is interested in Oprah.Her money maybe"
So he's the black John Kerry?
Alexander Hamilton
Don John of Austria
William the Conqueror
Jesus of Nazereth
It is a stigma to the "parents", not the child.
Guess what: you're not namecalling at all. What you're doing is looking down on people for telling the truth. If I call a kid a bastard, he is, you can bet. And you're encouraging newspeak, as if society is supposed to just take illegitimacy as some regular thing and cross out that word, too.
Bastardy might be a regular thing now, but it's largely because people like you fail to see the reason behind the truth-telling that the number and rate of bastards has skyrocketed. You people thought it'd be so much better not to 'place stigma on a kid' or 'social engineer' while at the same time you insisted we pay for them via AFDC and subsidize their births regardless of their legitimacy. You've succeeded in placing stigma on them and 'socially engineering' anyway. All those kids are without dads and stigmatized by their lower achievement and social retardation because of it.
Quite simply couldn't be less interested. But thank you so much for sharing :~\
We should probably call them 'the mommy-loved.' That way no stigma would settle, but we'd still know to expect them to be more likely to have a warped concept of masculinity.
"Quite simply couldn't be less interested. But thank you so much for sharing :~\"
Typical. Head in the sand as to the results of your 'tolerant' and 'child-friendly' policy, you don't want to hear how it's gone wrong. You sound JUST like a liberal confronted with the results of the rest of the Great Society.
