#3 Oprah's Book Club, and now Osama's. Deciding which one is worse is a toughie.

#4 Its a problem for most foreigners. They watch the proverbial shadows on the wall, in this case, the MSM, not understanding that what they see is not necessarily America. They get the crib notes done by some slacker in class and wonder why they fail the exam. Sometimes its just funny. Sometimes it is fatal. To those with the abilities to see cause and effect, they can adjust and make corrections. For those who can not the Americans will remain enigmatic.

#7 Scrappleface (natch):

Bin Laden Starts Book Club, Vows to Crush Oprah:
When Usama bin Laden, in his most recent threatening audiotape, recommended William Blumâs five year old book, The Rogue State, its sales rank on Amazon.com jumped from 209,000 to 20. That success has launched a new business for al Qaeda that could challenge the dominance of Oprah Winfrey in the book club industry.

Members of Usamaâs Book Club will receive personal recommendations from the charismatic leader, as well as the opportunity to review the clubâs latest featured selection every 30 days âat no risk to life or limb, as long as you keep the book and pay the invoice.â
...
âMy mission is to make this the biggest book club in the world and get people reading great books again,â said Mr. Bin Laden on a reel-to-reel tape recording released today. âThis is the first step in our ultimate plan to crush the billionaire imperialist infidel Oprah Winfrey, Allah be praised, and to take the reins of power myself as Americaâs media darling.â
