    Give Oprah a break

    Why are so many men spending so much time obsessing about and judging Oprah? Dear Sir, run your marathon, snub your nose at those who are lesser athletes and let Oprah--an American far more humble and charitable than yourself--inspire potatoes to get off their couches.

    Oprah, you rock girl!
