Oprah ... WTF?

OK, just how self-absorbed/egotistical does a person need to be, before having a magazine named after yourself which also bears your own image on the cover every month seems like a good idea (or a good use of resources?) I mean, why not use your powers for good, instead of for evil, or self-promotion, or whatever?

And NO, giving out free Pontiacs does NOT qualify as good, either. Of course I might feel differently if she were giving away Hondas or Toyotas.

On a related note, I wonder if Oprah does a photo shoot every month, or if she shoots many months in advance whenever she thinks she's looking her best?
