Dear Joe Kovac, Jr.,
You remember that episode of the Andy Griffith Show when the big wig Hollywood types came to Mayberry to film a movie? Remember how Mayberry reacted? Like a bunch of desperate teenagers at a middle school prom, hopin' and a'prayin the pretty girl would dance with them.
Macon is starting to act like that about Oprah, and you, my man, aren't helping. "Oprah's coming but in some ways she's always been here" -- What in the world, dude? Seriously. What does that even mean? I read the article and I still don't know. All I know is that you and Tina McElroy Ansa both really like Oprah and seem to think that this will be a life-altering experience for the city. Are you shitting me?
Since I don't know you but believe you, like most human beings, are good and decent, I want to believe that this was just a shitty assignment you got handed. I want to believe that you protested, and in fact, that a part of your protest was to write the lamest piece of bullcrap you could imagine. Few things of a non-sexual (but definitely hetero) nature would make me happier than to think you were trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes.
But I'm not betting on it. Honestly, if I had to bet -- if my money, my reputation or my kids were on the line, I'd bet that you approached your boss with the idea. You're probably pushing to do one of those irritating questionless interviews with Oprah. (Really, chief, why can't you print the damn questions? It'd make so much more sense.)
Alright. I'm done... for now.
