I'm sick. I had being sick. I blame global warming, if it wasn't -13 one day then +7 the next I wouldn't be sick. And of course I made plans to go to the martini bar on Saturday, I better feel better by then, the last time I went there was for my birthday and I was so sick I switched to water after one drink. Luckily I caught my second wind.

I was reading the article on ifmagazine.com and Bruce Willis was basing Oprah and supporting James Frey. (http://ifmagazine.com/new.asp?article=2663)

'Hey, Oprah. You had President Clinton on your show and if this prick didn't lie about a couple of things I'm going to set myself on fire right now.' James Frey is a writer, okay? He can write whatever he wants.

Apples and oranges. You could make an endless list of people who have lied, but it's not the same thing, James Frey used Oprah to make money, of course she is going to be angry. Everyone knows that being named as an Oprah book club selection will make your book a best seller. Yes James Frey can write whatever he wants, but if it's a work of fiction it should be sold as a work of fiction not a memoir. It's a well wriiten book, and I'm sure if it was marketed as a work of fiction Oprah still may have picked it, it would be a best seller and everyone would be happy.
