Please, let's not turn this film's success into a The Blind Side vs. Precious debate, with alleged implications for Barack Obama and/or Sarah Palin in the next election cycle. Don't be that idiot.

We come from a history of disregarding feeling as frivolity, and prior to Oprah we hadn't paid attention to its heft. She understood that our emotional lives inform every single thing we do.

I suspect Oprah knows what the rest of us highly perplexed observers already know: never, ever underestimate the inexplicable popularity of Sarah Barracuda.
