On Tiger Woods

I was always sort of a fan of Tiger Woods though I don't follow golf. Having a connection with Thailand, I thought it was great to see one who was part-Thai rise to the very top of any sport. It was also good to see one of African-American descent do so well in a sport that blacks historically have had trouble breaking into. In addition, it seemed like Woods was good guy. I still hope he can resurrect his career, but certainly he has enough money to be set for life in case that doesn't happen.

As always in America, it is a sign of our cultural decline that we devote so much attention to a Tiger Woods when there are so many other more important things going on. How disgusting is it that all these.....well, women are coming out of the woodwork to tell there stories about their relationships with Woods as they get their 15 minutes of fame and cash in. (I'd better watch my language since one of these babes is represented by the ubiquitous celebrity lawyer, Gloria Allred. This lady never misses a chance to jump in the middle of any possible legal matter involving a woman.)

Why do you think they call her Allred?

It's not enough that trashy shows like "Access Hollywood" and "Extra" are running non-stop on this story. Now we even have......


The Race Angle (Dragnet music, maestro).



Yes, it seems that some observers out there are making an issue out of the fact that all the girls identified so far are white. Haven't we gotten past that hang-up yet? First we make a big deal of Tiger's own mixed heritage then we go bananas over the racial makeup of his bed mates. At least some of us do.


People like Washington Post writer and Keith Olbermann horse holder, Eugene Robinson, who, as is his wont, has written about this aspect of the Woods story playing psychologist as he discusses the reasons why all the girls are white.

Now isn't that the dopiest op-ed you have ever read?



Hey Eugene! When I was single, I dated across racial lines too. Even had a Thai girlfriend once. Black gals too! Whaddaya think about that, Gino? Figure that out and you may get another one of those worthless Pulitzer Prizes they hand out to talentless, but politically-correct boobs like you.

So here's hoping that Tiger and Elin can find some solitude in Sweden, patch it up and go on with their lives-minus people like Allred, Robinson et al.
