In case you missed the story, Steve - O was an Iraqi boy on the syrian border who turned in his father who was an insurgent leader and like 40 other high value targets. The 82nd airborne wound up adopting him, and when we the Marines took over, we adopted him as well. I used to be his psuedo dad. She invited him and the Army soldiers who first encountered Steve - O on her show to shore up support and sympathy for him.

A pretty decent read, A soldiers promise by First Sergeant Hendrix, is all about Steve - O’s story.

I am pleased to report thanks in a large part to Oprah, Steve - O is here in the US and assimilating well.

Seriously if your bored tonight google Steve - O and Iraqi boy at once, and you will learn about his amazing story.

Damn, I sound like a commercial here.

Nah, no slam on Oprah here…my wife has been an Oprah fan since before she even met me and we been married 14 years, LOL.

Oprah has done some pretty cool stuff. She talked my wife into, who then talked me into (wasn’t too hard) this charity where you can buy a goat for a family in this country, can’t remember (ugh, thats bad) but what the goat does is keeps tha family from selling their daughter into slavery. We have an 8 yr old daughter…needless to say…

I appreciate your asking, but a rule I have laid down for myself, due to many things, namely all the threats and hate mail I get because of my views (big time hatred over at Liveleak for Bashman) is my name will be Bashman. So, unfortunately, I can’t tell you. But it is a Cthulhu Mythos novel, so you have to be into Cthulhu (H.P. Lovecraft) to even really want to read it.

Pat read it, he uses it as a sleep aid.

Well I just finished slaughterhouse 5 this year, and am finishing up brave new world (I dont get to read for leisure too much at college). I could definitely stand some more fantasy/science fiction.

If I am successful in getting my book published (click the link) well trade off anonymously somehow, how about that?

Hmmm…maybe…maybe.

The nation Oprah and Obama seek to build is one of victims.

I will still vote GOP.

I bet Hillary is seething though.

CNN did a recent poll on celebrity endorsements. The result was that 94% of those that responded don’t let celebrity endorsements influence who they support.

I’m with the 94%. To hell with Okrah. To hell with Obama.

This may not mean much to you because I am not a fan of this Iraqi situation and I voted for Clinton twice (did like Reagan alot)

However your kind of approach which is of genuineness and sincerity, and compassion. That is what America was ALL about in the 1950,60’s, 70’s 80’s and to a diminished extent the 1990’s. You represent the American soldier that I respect.

Thank you for making America proud overseas.

My guess is you are what they call in spirtual circles and “old spirit”. A person who feels he has lived many past lives. This is not uncommon. Embrace this gift.

Good luck with your writing. You will do well.

Actually, I used to like Oprah’s show. I have enjoyed several of her book club books also. I do think that O has the power to influence some of America in just about anything she attempted to, but I doubt her power extends beyond already liberal leaning women (in regards to Presidential voting). At least, I hope not.

Hillary prolly is pissed!!! I’m surprised Bill hasn’t made a call.
