so i have been descending in a deeper and deeper funk and i was trying to figure out why. it wasn't work, that has always been there. it couldn't be the weather - it ain't that cold yet. yesterday, as i dragged myself into the house and switched on the telly to cnn i realised what it was - 2 weeks no coop! last week, everytime i switched to cnn, the programme information said anderson cooper 360 but i could swear the guy looked just like lou dobbs. i thought, nah, you're just tired, tha's all. but as the week stretched on i knew there was something wrong - town meeting after town meeting with "middle america" and lou dobbs and no coop! what the heck was going on. then my visiting cousin told me that anderson cooper has a shorter slot (i fear until elections). so i think, well maybe i'll just get up at 5am to watch him (yes, i did think that - i got withdrawal, real bad). but i hear that anderson is not on - someone is filling in for him. it gets worse. anderson is off doing something for oprah!
why coop, why??? why oprah? haven't we had the oprah talk? how can you - fraternising with shell-shocked congolese orphans, wearing bullet proof vests in cluster-bombed lebanon, wading in the post-katrina waters be hanging out with you-get-a-car oprah? first bono went shopping and he got a t-shirt and now you? what are you trying to do to me? you're forcing me to use ever last ounce of faith into believing that this will all turn out well. why do you test me so, coop? and to oprah's people, i know you probably know where i live, but i ain't scared. you better send back cooper. i need him to make me feel good about being depressed by news. the clock is ticking. oprah maybe be all-powerful, but i'm an addict in withdrawal...
yeah, and the daily show and colbert report is in reruns this week. so where am i supposed to get the news?

You're not fooled by the Oprah marketing machine? So refreshing to see another.
This sort of thing happens with news anchors here...I can only assume they have families to support too and take the money while its there instead of personal integrity.
Or I have just come across as the most cynical man in the universe?!
no news is good news
he-he
no, really:)
Let's just hope she isn't hiring him to do an in-depth search into orphanages in Malawi and how unfair the world is being to poor Madonna...I'm this close to calling Gail and Stedman to plan a major intervention man!
a-HEM
Oprah is a SAINT.
Turns out Anderson wasn't on Oprah after all. He must've read this blog and told them not to air his piece! I hope he's back on Monday, Anderdrought and Anderdeprivation have set in and it's BAD.
oh, vile, don't get me started on oprah. shhhh.... know that there is a small army coming together.
what, you, cynical, fb? perish the thought.
i must keep faith in coop's integrity and think perhaps he was duped by the video of bono hanging out with oprah.
yeah, sophie, ;) no news is good news... OR ANDERSON COOPER DOING WORK FOR OPRAH!!!
eks, please get closer - gail might help... i have my doubts about stedman though.
haha, becks... if i did that people might start to think i had a thing for anderson cooper or something.... we wouldn't want anyone thinking that now...
oh sophie, yeah.... people are lobbying for her to get the nobel peace prize, i am sure someone is keeping track of the requisite miracles that the catholic church insists on and here i am... what is wrong with me?
anonymous... if coop is not back on monday... woe betide that winfrey woman. yeah, i said it - woe betide (how embarrassed will i be if i find out that coop is doing a special from palestine)
Oprah for President.
sophie... you are one brave woman.
super mega bigger than oprah brave.
I like Lou Dobbs...
erikku, just as long as you don't jump on the O4Prez bandwagon...
plus lou has his time slot - 6-7 weeknights.
elisha,
thank you very much!
