It's another case of what's his face from the New Republic or Jayson Blair. It seems like these things happen every few years.

It's kind of amusing that this guy was able to con Oprah and piggyback her name to millions of dollars. (And I know that I wouldn't hesitate to make up stuff about my life if that much $$$ was on the line). However, I agree that having someone like him out there doesn't help recovering addicts. Also, I didn't like the fact that he used a real train/ car accident in his story; it didn't seem fair to the parents of the girls involved.

I'm not sure if they are addicts BECAUSE their skin is a foot thick, or if their skin BECOMES a foot thick in their addiction? One of the biggest disappointment I have faced as a parent is the continual lying done to support my kid's habit. They take their family down to hell with them.
