Ran across the following in a Slate
article about Sarah Palin:
Considering her as a serious [presidential] contender gives [the media] a pretext for more coverage - which is good for ratings. Just ask Oprah: Her show with Palin was Oprah's highest-rated since 2007, when 100 members of the Osmond family appeared.
(For numerologists, that's 1 Palin = 100 Osmonds.)
Just struck me as funny, that's all. =)
