I think Tiger is screwed.

There aren't that many certainties in life, but here are two. Hot women get away with more than ugly ones and guys with "I'd like to have a beer with that guy" personalities get away with more than assholes. Tiger is an asshole. He has gotten away with it up until now because he's a great golfer and the media has bent over backwards to cover for him. He throws tantrums like a 3-year old on the golf course and the mental midgets at ESPN say it's "Tiger being Tiger". You can bet that the media will be a whole lot less forgiving now, and that means Tiger is screwed. Think about it. This guy makes 90% of his money from endorsement contracts, but he's always been too arrogant to even stay 20 minutes after a tournament to do a simple interview. And while other PGA pros like Phil Mickelson walk along the ropes and sign autographs, Tiger walks down the middle of the fairway and looks down his nose at the fans who pay is $100 million+ salary.

How many times in the '90s did you hear someone say "I don't agree with Bill Clinton but I think he'd be a cool guy to have a beer with"? It helped Clinton get through the Monica thing. There is something to be said for being seen as a decent guy...even if you're not...and Tiger is no Bill Clinton. The guy is a great golfer, his dad groomed him for that. But he's not much of a man, and I think men and women will agree with that, even if for different reasons. Maybe dad should have spent a little more time teaching his son lessons about humility and honesty, and less about pursuing the next conquest. But what do I know?

Time For Him To Go, By Any Means Necessary

So our Community Organizer in Chief will once again go in front of his teleprompter and give a speech. This one is intended to make us believe that he actually cares about winning the war in Afghanistan...the same war he said he "didn't feel comfortable with victory in" just a few short months ago. After dragging his feet for several months regarding a troop surge in Afghanistan, our glorious leader has now decided it's the right thing to do. His generals told him that months ago, but now that the great military mind of Obama has agreed we're going to send more troops. And while I agree with the surge, I question the timing. Dear Leader spent several months "thinking" about it, but now it's so important that it can't wait until after Christmas? Thousands of soldiers will be deployed in the next two weeks...before a Christmas that for some will be their last...so that The One can claim that he's "doing something" in Afghanistan. I would love to believe that this is just another example of Obama's complete incompetence, but I don't. No, this is deliberate. The military leaked a story about requesting more troops in Afghanistan to force their Community Organizer in Chief to man up and do something, and now it's payback time. Obama is telling his generals "fine, here's your troops and they're being deployed before Christmas". Just his way of giving the middle finger to the military one more time. If I'm right about that it makes him the biggest piece of shit to ever hold that office, and that's saying something. But trust me, I'm right. This pile of monkey dung has to go, and 2012 isn't soon enough. The Republicans will win back control of congress in 2010, and their first order of business should be to remove this idiot from office. They could simply declare him "unfit to serve" and remove him. I know there is no constitutional authority for that, but what the hell? The democrats don't have any constitutional authority for any of the BS they're doing, why should Republicans play by different rules? Remove this asshole by any means necessary...and I mean ANY! If he doesn't like it let him file a lawsuit like everyone else does. If you can't tell, this isn't about politics for me anymore. If Bush or Reagan had abused our military this way I would say the same things about them. But they didn't, and wouldn't...because they weren't raised by a communist to hate their country the way this pile of shit was. It's time for him to go, and 2012 is way to long to wait.
