needs more pathos! Oprah needs to be able to shed tears in order to recommend your book.

You're going to hear from my attorny, Mitch. You've plagerized MY story!

He's read my bloag.

A. I'm buying the movie rights to Mitch's life story. Just work in the part about being a gay cowboy and it's cinema gold.

B. Prediction: James Frey's next book will be about the debilitating 'disease' of chronic lying, complete with a tearful appearance on Oprah blaming low self esteem caused by sexual abuse by a (conveniently deceased) uncle. Or priest.

Or he'll just say his book was Fake But Accurate.

Publishers might want to start fact checking memoirs, for crying out loud. How many times do they have to be made to look like fools? (Answer: as long as they can be fools on the best seller list.)

"Publishers might want to start fact-checking memoirs."

I hear Howell Raines is looking for a job. Of course, it's not really a lie if the writer really believes it to be true.

Souch mentioned a young gal who wrote her memoirs, but her family says that very little of her book actually happened.

The historical society supports her and says that the events are true to how she remembers them.

It was practically an End Of the World update.

I can't remember where she's from, but I believe she's in southern Minnesota.

Books filled with embellishment, revisionist history and outright falsehood are published every year. There was a big one last year "My Lies" Oops, I meant "My Life".

I feel bad for trying to impose my definition of 'truth' upon other people. Truth is an artificial construct, a relative term with limitless shades of gray and nuance. Who I am I to trample upon someone else's 'personal truth.'
Perhaps John Kerry really did deserve 3 Purple Hearts. And the word "is" can be interpreted so many ways...

We now know the real author of the TANG document now...its Mitch!!
