In preparation for his upcoming Oprah appearance, the previously reclusive author Cormac McCarthy has lately begun blogging about celebrity news and other current topics. Below are three recent excerpts from his website:

I turned on the set and watched for the news of the child's father.
Whos the father, I wondered.
The Judge appeared with his grim countenance. Since the days of the desert, its been known and counted who was the father and who was the child. We've come so far to find out the truth, the end of this business, he said. He drew up his large hammer.
Can you tell me what it is, I asked the set and The Judge.
The light of the set broke upon the plains and the bones and rocks littered amongst the cactus trees and the dry stream bed.
There was punishment in the waiting.
Then the sun set and the word came.
Birkhead, The Judge said. Birkhead entered the cave and made the girl in the time before time when all was unknown and the mother of the land was still alive.

See the child. He comes from San Antonio in the dust and oil plains. His parents the Mexicans. He joins the air force, later moves from Fort Yukon to Houston.
They all want you to go, dont you see?
I cannot see what I will not see, he says. I know I am right.
Do you think you can stand in the winds of the storm and not be blown over?
I do not know any more than I can tell you.
You do not know much then.
Da igual, no importa.
You are goin to stay, then?
I will stay, yes.
Why dont you go?
I said I will stay.

His large hair came down over his head, some dust storm across the brow.
The fat woman, he said, I dont like her.
He took a childs hand in his and walked down the aisle. He had walked that aisle before.
He raised his hand and fired. Everywhere this man has been there are bodies left behind.
Does he have any money.
Some more now than he did before. Not as much as he claims.
Donald pasa de castaño a oscuro.
Si. His gold aint for real.

I think the posts are about Anna Nicole Smith, Alberto Gonzales, and Donald Trump.
