1) I know who Tiger Woods is, hell everyone does who reads a paper or surfs on line. Just one of the many high and mighty who use their wealth and prestige to manipulate the world around them. I, for one, relish when the high and mighty get caught with their pants down, or in Tiger's case chased around by his golf club wielding wife at 2AM. Come on, who believes his story? No one. Cops show up and Tiger goes to the hospital. He stonewalls, refuses to talk. Rumors fly, affair, domestic violence, lies told. Now he gets a ticket and the case is closed. He can go back to his own personal Neverland.
He probably screwed around with the cocktail waitress lady or whoever she is, and now wifey knows. She confronted him in the middle of the night and chased him half dressed into his car. Grabbing one of his clubs, she was intent on smashing the shit out of his car. Hey, it happens.
But what burns my butt is that if it were little ol me or even you, we'd be hauled off, charged with all kinds of crap. To be sure, I would be at fault even if it was wifey going after me with a 9 iron.
So, here is some one I cared less about, and now care about even less. I hope this cuts him down a notch or two and shows him, and the rest of the privileged, that they are not above the law.
2) From Zane who sent this in an email to me. Talk about another high and mighty who is starting to look more human and fallible:
War President!
From last night's speech. Even Karl Rove was praising him on Fox afterward.
Obama: 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan
Obama: "We Did Not Ask for This Fight"
Bush: "We Did Not Seek This Conflict"
Obama: "New Attacks are Being Plotted as I Speak"
Bush: "At This Moment ... Terrorists are Planning New Attacks"
Obama: "Our Cause is Just, Our Resolve Unwavering"
Bush: "Our Cause is Just, Our Coalition [is] Determined"
Obama: "This Is No Idle Danger, No Hypothetical Threat"
Bush: "The Enemies of Freedom Are Not Idle"
Obama: "We Have No Interest in Occupying Your Country"
Bush: "I Wouldn't Be Happy if I Were Occupied Either"
All I can say is... oy.

Here's the double standard in Tiger's story. If Tiger had busted up her face, blasted out the windows in her car with a golf club and was standing over her unconscious body in the yard with a golf club, he'd still be in jail trying to make bail! But because it's a woman, the police write a simple ticket and blow it off.
Even though he's still hiding in the basement waiting for his beatdown bruises to heal, I'm on Elin's side. She had one of THE greatest nude photo sessions of all time a few years back and still is a world class beauty, but somehow, these rich, powerful guys (Eliot Spitzer, Clinton, every other republican) can't keep their pants zipped. The text messages are hilarious. You have to wonder if old white men are still going to buy his knicknacks and golf balls after this.
