Poet, Damon Lloyd Goffe, is suing Oprah Winfrey and her company, Harpo Productions, for a whopping $1.2 TRILLION!

From the Cleveland Leader…

Goffee, of the Bronx, New York, said in legal papers that “in April 2008 Oprah confessed to seizing original works of authorship” and published online the first draft of his work “A Tome of Poetry” under another title, “Pieces of My Soul.”

Goffe says that the website in question is no longer live. He also claims that the talk show titan sold over 650 million editions of the work online at the price of $20 per copy, which “calculates for $1.2 trillion dollars.”

I can see a couple of problems here;

1. Even Oprah doesn’t have $1.2 Trillion.

2. No poetry has ever sold 650 million copies.

3. Nobody has ever sold 650 million of anything online.

4. $20 a copy multiplied by 650 Million…wouldn’t that be $1.3 Trillion?

I’ve been able to steer pretty clear of the Rod Blagojevich train wreck but now he’s making it impossible.

“Taken out of context…”

“Impeachment process is unconstitutional…”

“The fix is in…”

His lawyer quit and now he’s going on the freak show, media tour circuit. Kicking it off by talking to Diane Sawyer. Wants to call Rahm Emmanuel as a witness. And, he even pulls the Oprah Winfrey card. He considered “O” for the infamous Senate seat.

“She seemed to be someone who had helped Barack Obama in a significant way to become president, she had a much broader bully pulpit than a lot of senators.”

“she probably wouldn’t take it,”

“If I offered it to her how do you make sure it doesn’t look like a gimmick.”

Pretty rich, huh? The idea that this guy is weighing the gimmick factor.

Question; who has $50 Million handy to drop on a second home just to be able to be close to the president?

Oprah Winfrey, that’s who. From Fox.

The talk show titan is reportedly looking at ultra-luxury properties in Washington, DC; something suitable for, say, possible consultations with the President of the United States.

Insiders tell the New York Post that Winfrey’s people have been scouting a nine-bedroom mansion in D.C.’s swanky Georgetown neighborhood with a whopping price tag of $50 million.

Well, it looks like a nice crib and all but, let’s think about this O. Now, I can certainly understand why you would want a getaway, what with all of the unsavory activity going on in Chicagoland. But, do you really think that your opinion is so important that you need to be down the street from Barack Obama? Couldn’t you just have an assistant bust out a text if you needed to get something off your chest? Or, is the real story that you just want to be close to the power source?

You know O.W., I think it’s time for you to step up. You have the juice, you should be the power source. Stop piddling around. If you have $50 Mil to drop on a weekend getaway then perhaps what you should do is really get away. I’m saying get the hell out of Chicago, let the wonks have D.C. and throw down $100 Mil for this place. Found at PrivateIslandsOnline.

Isolated and untouched by development, fishing or run-off, this island archipelago’s marine life is prolific and stunning. Superb visibility typically exceeds 100 feet, and turtles, large pelagics and green moray eels are common. Dramatic underwater topography includes breathtaking drop-offs over ‘bottomless’ vertical walls, coral-encrusted canyons – and even a swim-through cave which opens to an underground cavern decorated with stalactites and quartz crystals.

You are not purchasing an island, you are almost purchasing a small country where you will be master of ALL you survey. This may very well be the largest private island for sale in the Caribbean today. The development potential is enormous, an estimate over a billion dollars in villa sales and resort development potential. You can create your own Mustique Island style playground for the rich and famous, or just purchase it with intent to develop a small part of this eco-sensitive island. Yes, you can help preserve the earths biodiversity with only limited development, the choice is yours.

It’s time to make your move Ope. You can be a master of the universe and save the planet at the same time. And, if your buddy Obama needs a little advice on his dog and pony show, just have a minion hit him up on the old Blackberry.
