Winfrey’s appearance also more than tripled during the interview, according to one smartass I know.
Oh come on, it was obligatory. You think this is easy?

NYT: Military Admits Planting News in Iraq
The military acknowledged Friday in a briefing for a ranking Senate Republican that news articles written by American troops had been placed as paid advertisements in the Iraqi news media and not always properly identified.

Great, Oprah is doing late night “comedy” to goose Dave’s ratings. Anyone want to start a pool on who they get for Letterman over the holidays?

Instead of the obvious “when will she get an Oprah-esque network of her own - anyone want to start a pool on when the tabloids start to talk about Rachel’s “weight problems”?
…hmmm, anyone know a website where I can start pools on “insert any unlikely occurrence here”?
