Well I gotta say, I’m not surprised. James Arthur Ray, author of The Secret and pundit of the globally rebuked “law of attraction” might be going to jail (read news). Apparently Mr. Ray, after charging sixty-four wealthy people close to $9,000 a head (that’s a total of $576,000) for the privilege of sitting in the same room with him, took them all into a native sweat lodge ...

Ok, ok. I have to ask. Does anybody see the irony? Just a couple years ago a few very witty people made enough money to buy themselves a California mansion or two by revealing (cue Hollywood fanfare and reverberating voice) The Secret of the Universe.
