Any other man on any other street could have wrecked his car in the middle of the night, the police would not have investigated too much, the guy would have received a fine, his medical records would have been released, but his life would not have been put under a microscope; leave Tiger alone.

You really have to feel for this man because his whole world is crumbling around him and everyone seems to be savoring every tidbit that comes out of the news about his adultery–no other man has done that, huh–his wife, and even when his mother-in-law went to the hospital they were speculating on who the mysterious woman might have been. I do not truly know what he is guilty of or what he is not, because every hooker that might have mistaken a well dressed pro-athlete for Mr. Woods is claiming to have had an affair with him.

There’s speculation that Nike will drop their contract with him, Buick won’t ask him to represent them anymore, and for what, adultery? Come on, I just saw a commercial for some mobile phone that features Mrs. Clause in bed with a “Frosty-like” snowman, who gets melted when Santa returns early. The M & M’s gang is drooling over an overtly sexy, sleazily posed female M & M, and Nike is worried about image? If you can serve your 3-year-old M & M’s after the holiday commercials, then leave Mr. Woods alone.

His image has been squeaky clean, his demeanor admirable, and his talent unquestioned, until he hit a tree and a fire hydrant. Now, “good grief” we find out he’s human and there are few mothers in America who have not gone through a situation similar to this one with their sons, and most would still love to have given birth to this young man. Leave him and his family alone so that they can find out what is real, what will save their home, their marriage, their partnership in life. Just butt out of his life and let the chips fall.

We headed north last night passing through several towns on our road to Durant Oklahoma, and all the house were dark. The few children that we did see dressed for Trick or Treat were heading into churches and schools for their evening of fun. My grandchildren went to the school carnival that has become the standard since so many perverts have found entertainment in poisoning or mutilating children on Halloween through the candies they doled out. It is truly sad that just a generation ago, children could trick or treat at their neighbor’s house without fear of what they might be given in their little bags and totes meant to keep candy for later enjoyment.

A notion of how this could be rectified occurred to me too late to do anything about this year, but those of us who would love to see the little faces and masks of Halloween appear at their doors next year, might consider the following: We can go to our local law enforcement offices and have them run background checks, take our licenses, and check our residency, so that they will have a list of safe houses that children can trick or treat and know they will be safe. We need to find a way to give Halloween back to the children in the fashion that it was meant to be celebrated. Most of us have memories, that these little ones will never have, if something is not done to make all-things right again.

Any suggestions that will make Halloween safe again should be added and we should start a national campaign to keep children safe and happy for Halloween the way it should be, and the way we had the pleasure of celebrating it so many years ago. After all, a politician should not be the only trusted person in the United States where Halloween is concerned…we rarely trust them with anything else.

Vacationing at Camp David, flying to France with the family, pleading the case for Chicago to the IOC, playing golf every Sunday, 28-campaign events to raise money and support for the Democratic Party, stalling gays on the marriage act (just another city to see and unhappy people to make), a basketball game excluding women at the White House, and we wonder why Obama cannot make time to decide what the best strategy for Afghanistan might be? That whole 30-minute episode aboard Air Force One with General McChrystal is making less, and less sense as we think of all the time Obama has to enjoy while the taxpayers are wondering if they will have a job or home next week, next month, or next year.

Okay, I’ll say it; “Air Force One has seen more action since Obama was inaugurated than a twenty-five cent hooker without panty hose.” If Obama is not jetting about the country or the world in the big bird, he’s stepping off Marine One waving and half-asswardly saluting the marine who stands proudly at guard. Talk about your carbon footprint! Between Barack and Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey, the skies over Europe made Big Foot look like a little leaguer in the game of Global Warming.

And that’s another thing, stop eating meat because the production of said product leaves a massive carbon footprint. I am a carnivore, my dad is a carnivore, his dad was a carnivore, and we have a long line of meat eaters in the genealogical pool. We love our iron-rich photosynthesizing veggies as well, but broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, potatoes, and carrots are just not a meal without steak, chicken, fish, or pork. For God’s sake, I’m not building nuclear warheads in the back yard, just sitting around drinking a brewski and watching the hubby grill up a nice fat juicy piece of anti-global, love-handle making meat.

We start our day at 5 a.m., around here, and are dressed and drinking coffee, watching the news and getting milk, cereal, and a diaper change for the baby. I haven’t seen a pair of pajamas this year, because the end of the day comes quickly when the last 12-hours were spent getting the oldest grandchild on the bus, getting the baby down for a nap, and settling in the 3-year-old so that she does not kill herself while I write a minor blog and start a load of blue jeans-the hubby is sexy, but it’s not wise to send him to work naked. My husband and I spent a lot of hours on the road, in the last 2 years, but it was not a joy ride or vacation, it was work. The idea of a vacation seems like a pipe dream that other people have and we only participate in as voyeurs.

Between pull-up disasters, 8 diapers changes daily, housework, lunch, dinner, and the occasional homework assignment that I understand well-enough to be of some assistance, I have no time to dream about that distant vacation that we would have been able to take if congress had not decided that we should share our wealth. That reminds me, we need to call the bank and explain that we are wealthy enough that people, like Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, have decided we have too much money left over at the end of the month. That is certain to get a snicker from the loan officer we cannot afford to see about purchasing anything that has a price tag over two hundred dollars.

I would donate my old jeans, but they’re 3-years-old and in need of repair and I’m still wearing them because there is no money in the budget for clothing. We live as most of Middle-America does, from week-to-week and month-to-month and manage to help the parents, kids, and grandkids, as much as possible, but we’re not complaining…just puzzled where that need to spread the wealth ideology comes from. We hear those like Obama-with his half a billion wealth accumulated from novelty items before he took office-talking about how the wealth must be shared. He could send us a few million and we would distribute it evenly with others who have worked hard and are still coming up short, but we just don’t have the time to get second jobs so that some illegal alien, or lazy American will not have to put on his work boots and attend a financial windfall of his own.

Now that I have accurately described what irks the living hell out of me about redistribution of wealth, it’s time to ask when Obama is going to get to work on the real problems facing this nation and quit spending taxpayer’s dollars for a 4-year long vacation in the sun and spotlight of the world.

Once upon a time there was a man that would be president and his name was Al Gore. He was a tremendously democratic man and loved by liberals, but then the votes came in and he did not win. He felt scorned, he felt humiliated and then…he found a way to make his mark in history. His mark would not be a noble one but would be disguised as a noble cause; that of saving the planet. Under the guise of care for the planet and eliminating pollution Al got rich, not really really rich, but comfortably rich. Soon his eagerness to place himself, historically, became greed and the fattened wallet cried for more. Whether he was truly evil or just greedy and had allowed his greed to meter his mouth, no one will ever know, but his good intentions turned to lies and then he had to enlist more powerful men to help in his scheme; Cap and Trade, or as it has become popularly known, “Cap and Tax.”

I truly believe that had man and dinosaur cohabitated in the same period, regardless of the dino’s singular nature-that of the eating machine-man would have attempted to keep them from becoming extinct. It’s evident in our care for our pets. It’s evident in our disregard for the facts surrounding animal species that do run out of luck, and it’s evident that if anyone can benefit from the plight of a poor, helpless species a politician will. Good ole Al and the Polar bear have become two such examples of good intentions gone wrong eventually leading to lies that can no longer be glazed over with a good speal. The misspoken, or misinformed Mr. Gore has gone about the world raising awareness of the dire circumstance facing the fading Polar Bears…but there’s a problem, someone forgot to tell the bears to cease breeding while Gore did his best to bilk the starry-eyed believers into screwing over the next 10 generations of humans.

There are facets-within the scope of species demise-that man has contributed greatly towards; the whales for their blubber, the wolf for his pelt, and the buffalo because people refused to quit eating, but rarely do we contribute nearly as much as Mother Nature and logical selection. Logical selection for extinction occurs when a species has run its course. Mother Nature, on the other hand, takes a much less gentle hand and summarily dismisses some species as too weak or too much trouble for habitation. Were the human race to disappear from the earth there is a high likelihood that the domestic cat and dog would retreat shortly thereafter, due to our coddling and misinterpret nature.

Before we “cap and tax” generations to come, we need to examine the truth behind extinction and the decimation of other species on this planet. Some we can control while others we are doomed to watch fade. Had we not interfered with the natural order of things, spaying and neutering of pets would not be necessary, Mother Nature would have taken care of the problem. Rarely has any outright effect been accomplished by making a fat politician fatter. The documentary ‘Not Evil, Just Wrong’ began showing across the country this past weekend. The film is the production of an Irish pair-Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney-whose hope it is to set the record straight. Before you jump on the “cap and tax” wagon examine the facts and come away “far more” enlightened.

With the latest installment of “what people will do for recognition” or “how to get your own reality show,” a 6-year-old forgot the punch line. The boy made a simple statement, “Dad, you said we were doing this for a television show,” and the real saga began. Why are people not shocked that parents would use their children in such a way? The reality of reality shows is that they have made us shock proof. Maybe, just maybe, it started with the scripted shows such as those that fixated the nation when Jerry Springer produced brawls, or maybe it started when John, Kate, and eight adorable children became too real. Now, John is being sued by the TLC network, Kate thinks she is a bonafide star, and the eight children…well, where do they fit in, in all this mess?

After several hours of questioning, the Heene family saga has grown to include charges to be filed. For what? They have not released that information yet, but the Sheriff wants to find a way to bring the charges up to something more than a misdemeanor. The next week will prove interesting for the family and for those who have done everything they thought was legal, and few things they knew were not, in order to get “in-on” the megabucks being accumulated under the guise of “reality shows.”

As if the Octo-Mom saga has not been enough for one year, people are continuing down the destructive path hoping for more of the big pie we know as “entertainment.”

The conservatives; God fearing, non-smoking, non-drinking, and non-aborting individuals, keep getting a bad rap even when their view of a given set of circumstances is correct. Let’s set the record straight. For starters, some of us do smoke, some do drink, and a few have had abortions, all of which adds up to the last point; we’re human. The liberals, on the other hand, can only agree with a conservative if they throw mud first, and if it is understood that in all other things the liberal must be considered the expert.

The conservatives have a problem with the abortion argument, “it’s the woman’s body and her choice,” because it was the woman’s body when she was getting pregnant, as well, and she had the option to take precautionary measures that would make pregnancy a “non-factor.” While the liberals, as usual, deal with end results only, but there is one point on which we can agree. It is her body and she has done as she pleased, by spreading the goods around.

The conservatives believe in war as a last resort, but they believe in showing strength as a first consideration. Yes, people do die and sometimes those people are innocents that have done nothing to bring the war upon them. Liberals believe war is bad because innocents do die and that makes the act repugnant, but the same people believe in the taking of an unborn life, because it has no rights. What has the unborn child done to bring about it’s death?

This morning, in the Washington Post, Mr. Robinson gave a good argument about the circumstances that have arisen around Roman Polanski. He started by mentioning the conservative view as though it were a thing to sneer at, usually, but this time is a correct line of thought. Good on you, Sir; however, the argument that rape is wrong and all who commit it should be punished, should not be heaped upon separations of political lines. Rape is rape and there are no variations. The rape of a conservative is no more vile to them than the rape of a liberal; therefore, the party lines don’t determine those that might be raped as opposed to those that might not be raped. As to the issue of moral bankruptcy in Hollywood, most actors and actresses are not morally bankrupt; they simply have no morals that cannot be purchased in glitter and gold.

Mr. Robinson also mentioned Whoopi Goldberg’s statement that it wasn’t “rape-rape.” Excuse me but what is the difference in rape and rape-rape? The girl’s mother was morally irresponsible with her child, but the child did nothing and, in fact, did everything that was in her power to make Mr. Polanski stop raping her. Ms. Goldberg, rape is rape and God forbid, you or anyone you know has to find it out first-hand.

The law is the law and it applies to all people, but the actors, actresses, directors, and producers of the silver screen and television are Gods-not to be mistaken with mere mortals-and are not subject to our laws. Ah, that felt better and it brings us to the arrest of Roman Polanski, director and widower of Sharon Tate (The Manson Murders). Even Jack Nicholson, or God Jack, has approached Arnold Schwarzenegger in order to have Polanski released for his little mistake over 30-years ago.

Mr. Polanski plead guilty to sexual intercourse with a minor, and then very impolitely fled the country for Europe where he has lived unchained by the crime for over 3 decades. His “little mistake” was the drugging, raping, and sodomizing, of a 13-year-old girl…but remember he is one of the gods of Hollywood that should not be mistaken as a mere mortal, and therefore not subject to our laws. In the alternate world where these stars, starlets, and sex symbols live, there is always feast and no famine, and there will always be an unhampered ability to commit the lowest of crimes and call them mistakes. Poor, poor Roman, the mortals are making an example of you for having been a lusty, mean-natured, pathetic excuse for a god, and all you did was rape and sodomize a girl from the slums of the earthly world.

The idea that the gods of Mount Olympus should be punished is a “change” we can believe in, because it has been far-too-long that they have walked in the clouds considering themselves to be above mortal laws. A simple guess would lead one to believe that Polanski may be contained behind bars, as the gods lack the power to escape our menial punishment.

While Obama patted himself on the back, praised the stupidity of some governments, and clearly thought he was the most educated, eloquent, and dignified of the leaders, Netanyahu was the most poised and dignified of the gathered speakers. To those of us that actually watched the drama unfolding at the UN this week, it was difficult to keep the bile in our stomachs as we heard the words of Qadaffi, Ahmadinejad, and last but certainly no less insulting, Chavez. One of the interpreters for Qadaffi fell out in the last 20 minutes and had to be replaced due to his long-winded, feeble-minded speech. The interpreter for Chavez got a chuckle as the dictator insulted the previous president-as though the insults of a world-renowned skunk have any potency in politics. However, amid the crazies came the one speaking voice that portrayed a man of grace, dignity, and defiance in the face of the scurrilous hoard gathered at the Un; Netanyahu.

Prime Minister Netanyahu, without raising voice, finger, or brow, quietly stated what many Americans have thought for years; that the UN is filled with would-be tyrants that have less-than a dog’s culpability for their sins. Many did walk out on Ahmadinejad’s rambling speech that presumed to re-write history and disgrace the nations that have stood for liberty and justice, but for those that did not have the “good sense” or “state-of-mind” to walk out, Netanyahu had strong words that he expressed with dignity. It’s a rare event when one dignitary has the responsibility to put other heads of state in their place, but the Prime Minister performed this task well. It is a shame that the “so-called” leader of the free world did not have the cajones to do it himself, but this is not something that red-blooded Americans have come to expect from this administration.

The mess that has been the UN this week has been a showing of true freedom lovers pitted against the dogs of this world. Unfortunately, we “the American people” have not had a decent representation of the morals and values we hold. Our representative-and it is hoped that the world knows this-has been the egotistical, self-serving, would-be thuggie-dictator; Obama. Perhaps the UN should issue collars for the dogs, and leashes for the men capable of leading our countries to greatness, so that the world can decipher the good guys from the self-serving bass-turds of the universe.

A couple of questions; 1: Are you proud of the dignity and disgrace of the man Chavez, Mr. Stone, and 2: You’ve been blowing and going for years Ms. Streisand, where are you now? Perhaps Ms. Streisand is rethinking her moral obligation to the Liberal-Marxist of Hollywood.

I can only imagine how proud it must have made some Americans feel when Qadaffi praised Obama and hoped that he could stay “in power” for life. To cap this all off, the print media labeled Qadaffi and Ahmadinejad’s speeches as the “Mad Men.” If you listened to any of either speech yesterday, your mind whirled at the belligerence, the madness, and the praised heaped upon the United States for all the wrong we have done in the world, and our brilliance at having elected a yellow-boned, weak-kneed, and spineless creature to serve as leader of this nation. Obama having taken complete credit for everything good about America and having made the apology tour seem like a “sweet dream,” left the stage to “good ole boy” Qadaffi.

While Ahmadinejad rambled down a path that included the mockery of an imagined Holocaust, Qadaffi re-wrote our historical events and prattled on for an hour and a half, at one point throwing his notes away. Our very own wanker-n-chief had only mentioned the passing of a bad government into his immensely capable hands, and how well he has re-shaped this nation making us standout as a greater power of equivalency in the world. In 9-months this man has managed to take us from one of the most powerful and respected nations, to an underdog on a level with third world countries, heaped praise and financial assistance on thuggie dictators, bankrupt our federal reserve, empowered unknown amounts of human disasters with the ability to lead us into turmoil, and become the “fair-haired child” of Africa for the mad men of terrorist countries. Afghanistan-the good war-has become a thorn in his side, so he waits, as did Crockett, Bowie, and Travis at the Alamo, for all to be lost.

If Obama were Bush, Clinton, or little Bush, he would have already been brought up on charges of Treason, and impeached by the body of the senate, so why is this man allowed to lay waste to our country, endanger our servicemen, and aide thuggie dictators in the demoralization of their countries? If it’s all about being black and being a great orator, then why not *James Earl Jones, he has the greatest voice of our time, he is dignified and humble, and probably has as much political experience as Obama. Somehow, I doubt that it has anything to do with the color Obama’s skin, and everything to do with the puppet masters in congress. Obama may be arrogant enough to assume responsibility of the mess that has been made of this country, but will he be willing to take the charges that will arise from treasonous actions and die like a man? Frankly, if I were he, I would roll on the congressional participants who have really mastermind this disaster, Ms. Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, and the lofty elitist who deserve the punishment.

*James Earl Jones: The Hunt for Red October, Field of Dreams, Shakespearean actor, and the greatest speaking voice of our time.

My husband and I watched Miss Congeniality on TBS Friday night because it’s cute, it’s campy, and because there was little else on the “boob tube” worth watching. During one of the commercial breaks an advertisement for the George Lopez show used a very familiar face for promotion; none other than the sitting president of the United States. Obama tells George that he wants him to keep us laughing…well, we certainly were not laughing at the dignity of the office of the president being brought to such a new low. Whether you agree or disagree with this administration, you hope that the sitting president will maintain an air of decency and not sell out to every available mode of publicity. It’s vulgar, it’s undignified, and it indicates that this is a man who truly has no idea what the “people” expect of their world representative. He’s not just the president of this nation; he is the first view that every other country has of the United States.

His answer to why the people at Town Halls across the country are acting out in ways that normally would not be their fashion is that they are seeking their 15 minutes of fame. Really, and what does it say about a man who holds the highest office in the land, doing a commercial for a sitcom? Between the president doing commercials, Hillary Clinton having a meltdown over a question she misunderstood through translation, and Madame Pelosi’s screeching, wild-eyed, drug induced or manic behavior, the representatives of this country look more like a bad night at the mental institute than they do a governing party of one of the most powerful countries on earth. They are, to be nice, an embarrassment and they are what the world views as the people of the United States. People of government, get a grip on yourselves and portray Americans with some dignity.

By polling results, the people are pretty well fed up with seeing Obama on every channel, and really could use a bit of “down-time” from his oratory skills and outright “lies”-there I said it and no I will not apologize. He did lie about the illegal alien situation, because it’s on the books that no person will be turned away for treatment and he, of all people, would know this. He is allowing Eric Holder (a backward witch hunt) to go forward with an investigation that we have already paid for through taxes under the Bush administration, and yet Obama does not insist that groups like ACORN that take tax dollars for illicit purposes be investigated. According to Obama it’s not of national importance. Again, really and why would it not be of national importance when it is our tax dollars being used by a corrupt organization? Somewhere between the campaign trail and the inauguration it seems that Obama has forgotten what his duties to this country are, and the duties do not include making commercials for George Lopez, doing a song and dance for the media, or implying transparency and then digging the deepest hole of deceit and corruption that this nation has faced to date.

Although many would like to see Obama give up his day job, judging from what we saw in the commercial…it’s a bad idea, his acting skills lack for talent.
