Hello all, welcome to the first installment of your weekly update of the good, the bad and the ugly in the world of the Queen of all media, Ms. Oprah Winfrey.

Last week Opes (yeah “Opes,” we’re cool like that) was a huge Debbie Downer. Every day I looked forward to either a show with some sort of insane give-a-ways that would cause the audience to go rabid, or maybe one of her newly patented, “come on my show so I can tear you a new asshole in front of millions of viewers,” type of show, best exampled by Mr. James Frey. Alas, last week was serious Oprah with the Holocaust and suicide being big themes of the week. (Fun!)

Opes featured two days with Elie Wiesel, holocaust survivor and author of the book Night. She traveled with Weisel to Auschwitz where the horrors of the holocaust were recounted. To summarize; Oprah was moved, Oprah cried, Oprah called Wiesel her hero.

The next day Oprah continues to depress America with a follow up episode featuring Elie Wiesel and a bunch of students from around the country who were winners in an essay contest describing how Wiesel’s Night is relevant to their lives. To summarize; Oprah was moved, Oprah cried, Oprah called the kids brave.

The following day Oprah featured CNN’s silver fox Mr. Anderson Cooper. Again the show was depressing as shit. Cooper discussed his childhood as the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, the loss of his father at age 10, the suicide of his brother and all the horrors he has witnessed as a journalist. To summarize; Oprah was moved, Oprah cried…you get the point.

Anderson Cooper returned to Yale (he was class of '89) this past weekend to give the commencement address. He was genial and charming, being his usual Anderson self. His word of advice to the graduating class was to 'follow their bliss." That's brilliant. How much was he paid for that speech?

Several members of the senior class were warned before the ceremony that their planned skit parodying 'The Situation Room' with 'Fox' Blitzer might offend the guest for its facetious treatment of the Very Serious TV news biz.

But Cooper was anything but reverent to Mother Yale as he addressed rain-drenched 'parents, friends, members of the Taliban.' (And asked in turn that no one bury his head in the sand for the throwaway reference.) There were 'Mole' jokes, 'Lawrence of Arabia' quotes, lots of cries from one guy of 'ANDERSOOOOOONNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' A few aphorisms he Googled from previous college graduation speeches by Yoko Ono and Goldie Hawn.
