Mission Control is shutting down.

As of September, 2011, millions of mindless drones across America will have to turn elsewhere for instructions on what to read, how to vote, and what to think, because the Hive Queen will be ceasing her daily transmissions.

Oprah isn't Johnny Carson, and Doctor Oz has his own show now and the Libraries are still functioning, so now she has done Porn and the life on the wilder side, she has nothing left except to prepare to become Czarina in Charge of Obama's next election - isn't her magazine called "O"?; 8:19 AM, November 20, 2009

Joanna said...: I can count on one hand the number of times I sat down to watch Oprah on purpose, and one of those times I was 14 and watched because she had Hanson on for the whole show, so I don't think that counts.

I don't think she'll be missed as much as she thinks she'll be missed.; 8:48 AM, November 20, 2009

Matt G said...: Oh, she'll keep herself busy with her magazine.

Hey! Guess who's on the cover this month?
Well, guess who was on the cover last month?
Lucky guess. Well guess who's on the cover next month?

What must it be like, to breathe that kind of rarified air, where every magazine rack is your mirror?; 10:57 AM, November 20, 2009
Drang said...: IOW, just in time for the 2012 elections.

Shouldn't that be spelled "evilesse"?; 12:16 PM, November 20, 2009

BUFF_dragon said...: She will still have her show, my god, the woman has her OWN network....

Oprah Winfrey Network - OWN; 2:55 PM, November 20, 2009
George said...: Yeah ... I heard that she has linked with the Discovery people to create this eponymous network. Yupper ... that's another big sigh from the Great White North.
