Woods and Women

It has been a little over a month since Tiger Woods was involved in a car accident at his home. Who knew that an accident, fuzzy story line, and a golf club would open the flood gates of mistresses. Who knew that the world's number one golfer had time to get with cocktail waitresses, adult movie stars, and other bimbos. I want to be clear that I do not condone what Woods did, but I think the issue here is a little deeper than just a simple addiction to sex. I think Woods didn't get a chance to enjoy his child hood or his adolescence for that matter. He was raised to be the perfect golfer and the perfect golfer he was. Winning tournaments since he was a child, I think there has always been a void in Wood's life. I think he filled that void with women. I mean why not? You are worth close to a billion dollars, you have your own plane, and most of all you have the perfect alibi: golf (I say this in jest because of the time it takes to play a round of golf he can work in a couple of women). I hope that Woods returns soon and learns from his mistakes. My prayer for him is that he comes to know the power and love of Jesus Christ.

Random Thoughts November

There is a lot going on in this country and I would just like to point out a few things:
  • Barry won the Nobel Peace Prize. That is like Russell Shepard (the highly recruited qb who plays for LSU) winning the Heisman. He has never started a game and giving him this award for doing nothing is just silly. He has done nothing to prove it. Sort of like someone else....hmmm
  • Attack Fox News and not Al Qaeda. That is the mantra of this administration. Why listen to your hand picked general on the ground when you can listen to twinkle toes (Rahm Emanuel) and I play the race card (David Axelrod). These two doofs obviously know best .
  • Roger "yellow belly" Goodell decided to make comments about Rush Limbaugh being part of group to buy the St. Louis Rams. The same guy who has a man who killed dogs (among other things), a man who killed a person while drunk driving (Leonard Little who ironically plays for the Rams), and a few drug users/wife beaters.
  • Joe Wilson screaming you lie still resonants in my mind. As the healthcare bill is negotiated behind closed doors "the most transparent administration eva" proves Congressman Wilson right.

  • Nancy Pelosi stated that the Dems won on last weeks election. This woman wouldn't know the truth if it offered her half off on her next botox injections.

  • I heard a Congressman say that Nancy thinks bipartisan support includes having 1 Republican vote for her healthcare bill. The real bipartisan support was in opposition to her bill (all but one Republican voted against along side 39 Democrats).
  • The thought that there is a Republican Governor in New Jersey gives me hope living in IL.
  • After visiting Detroit for the first time (maybe my last) I see what was once a great city. It appears the Democrats and the Unions really know how to destroy things.
  • I end with this, which is stronger: Barry Obama or the cheap hangers from your local dry cleaners? The cheap hangers of course. They work all the time and they can hold their own .

To Create or Save That is the Question

This is a post I made originally on TH. I have included an update.

Barry Obama and his gang of merry men (Reid, Pelosi, Durbin and Emanuel) have said that the stimulus plan would save or create jobs. I actually thought long and hard about this. Save or create, that is the question. Let us define these two words.

  • Save- to rescue or deliver from danger or harm; to spend less money; to avoid unnecessary waste or expense
  • Create - to produce or bring about by a course of action or behavior; to make or bring into existence something new

A few weeks ago Barry was present in Ohio for the swearing in of 25 police officers. Before the stimulus package was signed these officers were told that they would be laid off before they even joined the force. After the package was signed the city had the necessary funds to hire them. So Barry has saved 25 jobs thus far. Not bad for an $800 billion dollar investment. Let's not forget that the stimulus bill (I use the term loosely) has less than 10% that will actually stimulate anything. Unless you believe the economy can be stimulated by $650 million in coupons for set top boxes, $150 million for the Smithsonian and $1 billion for Amtrak who has not turned a profit in 40 years. So, Barry saved 25 jobs, but will someone from this administration tell me how they are going to create jobs.

I believe this quote found in the AP sums it up best.

"You created a situation where you cannot be wrong, "the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Montana Democrat Max Baucus, told Geithner last week.

"If the economy loses 2 million jobs over the next few years, you can say yes, but it would've lost 5.5 million jobs. If we create a million jobs, you can say, well, it would have lost 2.5 million jobs, "Baucus said. "You've given yourself complete leverage where you cannot be wrong, because you can take any scenario and make yourself look correct."

Well if Baucus only knew that Barry's administration intends on making themselves look correct on everything they do, no matter how wrong they might be.

Update: Today is July 14, 2009 and the unemployment rate stands at 9.5%. The Vice(gaffe)President says we (the administration) misread the economy. Then just days after that the President says "
No, no, no, no, no," he told NBC's Chuck Todd. "Rather than say 'misread,' we had incomplete information." To ABC's Jake Tapper, he said, "There's nothing that we would have done differently."' Oh really? Well my bs sensors are going off. How about yours?
