Although watching Oprah Winfrey is conparable in suffering to having teeth extracted with pliers, an exception should be made on Monday 16th November as she will be interviewing Sarah Palin.

Announced today by Harpo Productions, the news only seems to have perculated as far as the Anchorage Daily News (TheEye kids you not that this is on the daily check list for interesting trifles – and other flavoured dessertstuffs).

Pre-publication of her new book Going Rogue put it top of Amazon’s bestseller list and it is currently 4th. Publication day is the 17th – the day after the interview, which only the most naive fool would consider a coincidence. Amazon will be shipping at the same time, so if your copy is sent via Royal Mail it should reach you just in time for her to be running for her second term as President.
