slate 60 list

i just want to be fair. slate 60 just released the newest philanthropists who donated the most in 2005. and oprah was one of them. #22 to be exact. so go ahead nominate her for Nobel Peace Prize

slate60 list

bill gates n his wife melinda (persons of the year 2005 along w/ bono) are #2 on the list.

"A list means a competition; and a competition means winners; and the prospect of winning is a certain magnate magnet...Whether by coincidence or not, philanthropy has blossomed since Slate's list was created. In 1996 the top donor gave away $100 million, or $121 million in 2005 dollars. But last year's top donor, Cordelia Scaife May, gave away $404 million, and the list (with 63 donors, counting ties) totaled $4.3 billion." (excerpt from slate's website)

Uuuu... here we go again. The 'boycott Oprah movement'
But I agree with you.
Besides, lately Oprah's been acting weirder and weirder, i bet Tom Cruise insanity is contagious.
