Why OPRAH will be God in 20 Years

On the occasion of Oprah's recent gift of a car EACH to members of her studio audience, I have to voice what I've been saying ad-nauseum to friends... Oprah is developing god-like qualities that will come to fruition in about 20 years, max. And to the sound of all you nay-sayers throwing up your hands and shouting "No Way!!" in unison, I SAY:

Think about it: Oprah enriches, educates, instructs. She dishes out both praise and anger with equal doses of intelligence and reason. She cries over man's inhumanity to man and applauds every evidence of our sibling largesse. Wouldn't you call that godly? On the real tip, I get the sense of this flawed human who's trying to deal with life in the noblest of ways, to reach within and be the best she can possibly be, in homage to her great good fortune. This is certainly what I aspire to, and I always think that the minute I start rollin' in it, then I'ma be benevolentgirl. Should I not start now, though? And honor everything I take for granted: health, home, means? But that's too haaaard, when you're struggling to make ends meet, right? Or is it? I'm just asking a few questions, like Jadakiss...

But when all is said, I'd rather follow Oprah's example than, say, curious George in the big White House, who's just dying for deification. But will NEVER get there.
