Dear Regis ,
Unfortuantly , don't
you just love it when a sentence starts off with unfortunately - what's more.
-a whole letter , Ha Anyway Regis , unfortunately and none the
less - this is going to be without
doubt , one of the most remarkable letters (to use a word) that you have
ever received within the confines of
your career . What you shall make of
this is your choice Regis , bit
I would suggest that the potential
moral end eathical'boundries be examined within the realms of your persona carefully , before any dissuasions are made towards
possible actions .
Now I have
already made others aware•- including your "queen" on numibriois occasions - in
various letters , as to the
sitiatition . In other words ,
to certain
members of the television community I have repeatedly made statements to the effect that : not only do I know the.circumstances which brought about the creation of her , Oprah's new "women's magazine bit that I , a soon to be sucessfull practicing inventor / writer- with a
present interest in completing e T.V.
Game-Show Project , I , a man , who because of piticmular behaviorism's
of our Miss Winfrey (after sending
"her" a copy of my political 'Manifesto" , I , a mear nobody - am
incidentally about s become the leader of my nation at my wish and it was "my Manifesto" which caused
the creation of "0 The Oprah Magazine" or "0 Indeed" as I like to say *&'?o.
Now these people at "Harpo" knew Regis , that the only way I was ever
going s become
Prime Minister of my country "This Canada" , was through my
art as a writer and that it was
written within the pages of "my Manifesto" that I predicted so . For
this reason , I suggest , when they launched their magazine six (6) weeks after receiving my
"manifesto" ( which was
calling for the launching of a new
publication incidentally) "Oh Indeed" at that same time , somebody
decided they could never afford to
give me the slightest credit because one , "how
would it look if it was realized
the creation of this "women's magazine" came about as a result from a man" ; not only a man but a little nobody of a man ?
And two : "What if that little nobody of a man was right and "he"
could with little more than a pen
and a few scraps of paper , relinquish
himself from the depths of obscurity
to then suddenly and almost meracusally transform himself into the Prime Minister of Canada ? I would imagine these people down at Oprah's Harop Productions inc. in Chicago thoughts themselves that such a person as I , could
never be permitted the opportunity to be published within the pages of this.piticular magazine ; no matter what my "manifesto" might
have had to do with the creation of
the said magazine anyway .
Well , well
, well . Such foolish dissuasions
have-the capability of being made ,
when all responciple parties-are not
consulted properly . Did anybody think that I , after beleiving .:for twenty two (22) years it-was my destiny to one day become Prime Minister of this Northern Nation , that within the chambers of my mind that beleave would suddenly be
dissolved ? Did they think that I ,
an artist
, who could never allow a peice of
work s remain unfinished - especially
the most important canvas of all (
the prime-ministership of Canada" ,
did they
think that I would just simply walk away ; as though abandoning my very
soul itself ? Was
it ever conceived that with my analytic and imanagitive mind , I would forever be unable to see what was going on ;
even if 'only-'behind the.sceans and away from prying eyes ? I
feel I know things about Oprah on a personal leval - that I suggest
few might yet realize and she would
be hard pressed to yet tell . For
instance : I pet it to you that the
reason Oprah and Steadman have not yet married
, is not only because Steadman
dosn't want to be known as "Mr. Oprah" . More importantly , he wants to be known as " Mr.
President" when our "Queen
of Television" replaces her crown
for that of The Presidency of The United States of America
.
And that was a lesson Steadman probably
learned from our Margret Thather ,
the true first "modern day western
female of democracy" . I mean after all , who even remembers what the little man's name was after all this time ?
Anyway , let me assure you Regis , and
anyone else who might be listening ,
it will only be over my cold , dead , body
and after the pen has been snached'from my wrinkled , clutched ,
fist , that I will allow Oprah to become the "first , first lady of America" , when one , I have the capability s , if
need be - prevent such an unholy
accordance , and while believing her
s be morally , ethically and calculatedly
unbalanced against my wit - while at
the same time she
being even severely intellectually
challenged ! The fact is , I can haul this "queen',' into court anytime - with copy-writen , documented sined , post-marked
, sealed proof as to this woman's guilt ; which will take us into realms of reality I choose not to decuss right now bet which will if
necessary involve a large portion of
the "'empire" this. woman is "queen" over . In other words , at a moments notice , I have 'the power to not only bring down the
Queen of Television" bet a good chunk of the industry also at the same
time around her ears ! There is a lot of symbolism in that statement , I admit . Bet
symbolism is something
a lot of people
understand when we are talking about moral and ethical preamatures
If anybody thinks
that I am about s live my life - which
I hope s be
all of another fifty (50) years - feeling as though I have been by this woman "intellectually raped" "politically plundered" and subsequently as though an affront has even been made against my all so human and fragile living soul , and all so this woman can one day better be assured the Presidency of The United States well all I can say is that they don't got no idea as s my determination . I have already caused the creation of the publication that one day will be forced to carry the written articles designed by myself to launch me ins the seat of my nation's
Prime-Ministership . I should soon
have one (I) of three (3) intended new inventions
developed for absolute mass market and hopefully I will soon be able s find the time to work the bugs out of this
T.V. Game Show I am working on and
sell it to television . If that lady
wants her day in court and insists s
refuse on answering to questions I might wish to put to her , she had best be prepared s come against somebody who at least knows how s write his
own copy . And s coin a phrase ' that's "what I know for sure" ;
