Well, one good call out of 3 (Trebek). May he be sent to Hell and have to listen to Dr. Phil and Oprah 24/7 for all eternity. (Hearing them just SEEMS like an eternity for the rest of us.)

Now, THAT'S karma!

"Elmo, how does that make you feel?"...muppet Dr. Feel.

Tv would be better without Dr. Phil.
His only contribution is as a model for the Sesame street puppet Dr. Feel. I am glad Oscar the Grouch and the Cookie Monster did not have to have their own talk shows before they became muppets.

Thank GOD this man can't inflict any more of his craft upon us.

I always thought prison was bad. But a few days of daytime TV convinced me there are things much, much worse.

Too bad he didn't croak BEFORE he inflicted that pseudo-pop-psychologist "dr" phil upon the world. What a pompous pantload.

He was not an Obama supporter, so Oprah had him killed.

Oh what you wroth.
Hundred of audience members screaming 'cause Oprah gave them a 'free' iPod.

SUN TZU ON THE ART OF WAR
THE OLDEST MILITARY TREATISE IN THE WORLD

Translated from the Chinese
By LIONEL GILES, M.A. (1910)

XIII. THE USE OF SPIES

5. Now this foreknowledge cannot be elicited from spirits;
it cannot be obtained inductively from experience,
nor by any deductive calculation.

6. Knowledge of the enemy's dispositions can only
be obtained from other men.

7. Hence the use of spies, of whom there are five classes:
(1) Local spies; (2) inward spies; (3) converted spies;
(4) doomed spies; (5) surviving spies.

8. When these five kinds of spy are all at work,
none can discover the secret system. This is called "divine
manipulation of the threads." It is the sovereign's
most precious faculty.

20. Whether the object be to crush an army, to storm
a city, or to assassinate an individual, it is always
necessary to begin by finding out the names of the attendants,
the aides-de-camp, and door-keepers and sentries of the general
in command. Our spies must be commissioned to ascertain these.

27. Hence it is only the enlightened ruler and the
wise general who will use the highest intelligence of
the army for purposes of spying and thereby they achieve
great results. Spies are a most important element in water,
because on them depends an army's ability to move.
