Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience

Anyone paying attention in an objective way to Presidential elections (or any other kind) knows all about magical thinking and selling. Promises which are ignored the day after the elections. And no one is more into this stuff than our present President. No one.

Every ad on tv is full of shit too. Happiness will come to you if you drive this car. Reality will change for you and transport you straight into your wildest desires. This product will make you thin.

Bullshit is all around us all the time. I see no reason to single out Oprah when all you have to do is turn on the tv or read a magazine or listen to the news, especially Fox News.

Having said that I don't want another celebrity to run. There are plenty of qualified younger people (non-boomers) who can do the job better.
