OPRAH NOT GUILTY AFTER ALL

The lawsuit by cattlemen against Oprah Winfrey has finally been thrown out. Yes, she was already vindicated once in court of libeling American beef, but the cowboys wouldn't take NOT GUILTY for an answer and tried again. This isn't actually so momentous an occurrence, since the follow-up suit was a pathetic gesture to begin with, but it gives me a legitimate reason to point you to the talk-show guest who started the whole brouhaha - Howard Lyman, the original Mad Cowboy.
