Oprah Winfrey signed a deal for a new fitness book with Simon & Schuster. It is rumored to be worth an advance of app. $ 15 million. This deal changes the top part of the richest non-fiction contract list. This knocks Bill Clinton ( $ 12 million ) into 2nd placc and Alan Greenspan ( $ 8.5 million) into 3rd place.
So America wants to read about an overweight black's idea on fitness. America wants to read about an impeached, convicted perjurer carpetbagger's version of his past life. America wants to read about a Jew who worked for Wall Street and was instrumental in revoking the Glass-Steagall Act for people like Sandy Weill at Citigroup.
How did America get to this sad state? It's because critical thinking was outlawed by the Civil Rights movement. Hopefully we are on the bottom now and things will improve. But it wont improve unless each of us make it happen.
