Sunshine boy goes to hell

Oprah Almighty

One of my best friends has a framed portrait of Oprah above her mantel, right next to the portrait of her grandmother and great grandmother. Plus, strategically on display on her coffee table is “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” this year’s headliner for Oprah’s book club.
