Tiger Woods: My hero

What's an apology worth?

So, Tiger Woods gave his apology today. I missed it. I don't care. Tiger Woods is a golfer. That's it.

Others were a little harsher.

"There's nothing he can say in my book," said Glenn Llopis, the founder of the Center for Innovation & Humanity, a California-based think tank, "that would make me view him as authentic and genuine and human again."

What a tool! Geez, Mr. Llopis, how f'n humane of you. How can you expect to promote humanity if you can't forgive? What a hypocritical joke.

Today, Tiger is my hero, and I don't care if he meant his apology or not. I only want to watch him golf again. That's it. I could give a crap about his endorsement deals, or his personal life as long as he doesn't commit a crime.

And for the lunatics out there spinning a yarn about whether Tiger meant it or not, get a life.

Rate the Tiger story. Much ado about nothing or am I missing something here?

Hot or Not: Pearl Jam's Fixer

Pearl Jam in Toronto recently

I was in college when Pearl Jam hit the college music scene. They were not as suicidal as Nirvana, but still pretty damn angry. Yet, there was something very genuine about their sound and Ten became one of my favorite albums.

Since Ten I've bought almost every Pearl Jam record, but they've never hit a new level. Lots of quality work, nothing quite as emotionally resonate.

And then the other day I caught The Fixer on KROQ. As soon as I heard it I knew it was Pearl Jam, and I waited for the anger, the hate. Soon I was bobbing my head along to the beat as I listened to the vocals.

Why so upbeat I instantly wondered? Where is the angst? How about some damn Bush bashing for crying out loud?

Instead, something that almost sounded like, well, and I hate saying this, I really do,....but I heard something that sounded like hope.

I don't know what the hell happened to Ed, but it sure sounds pretty damn good. Makes me very interested in the upcoming Backspacer album.

Damn, are Ed and I becoming mature?

Good customer service at Chase?

A good bank?

I haven't always been happy with my Chase Credit Card. Nonetheless, I had a problem with my credit card that required a call to customer service, and to my surprise I actually received great customer service.

The customer service representative was courteous and helpful. Sure, she tried to upsell me on a few new programs, but once I said no, that was that. On top of that she even waived one of my fees.

Not bad for a big evil bank.

Is the NY Post cartoon racist?

Rate your views. Is this cartoon racist?

This cartoon has caused quite a stir since the NY Post published it. Many are calling it a racist depiction of Barack Obama.

At first glance, I found it hard not to think it not racist, but I was already expecting it to be racist. After sleeping on it, I'm not so sure.

Rate American stupidity - $20 billion on foreign oil in December

And that's a cheap month

For months America's oil demand has been crashing, despite considerably lower gas prices than just 6 months ago.

The price of a barrel of oil has declined to less than a third of 2008 highs.

Yet, America still spent $19.3 billion on foreign oil in the month of December.

And THAT's a BAD month, at least as far as the exporters of America's foreign oil are concerned. For America it was a fricken bargain.

Almost $20 billion a month is a deal!?! Are we stupid? Finish: Rate American stupidity - $20 billion on foreign oil in December

Rate yourself: Lying Sheep - Are you an average human?

Liars and followers

Man, we humans are a real joke. According to numerous studies, humans are typically a bunch of followers. Sheep.

Ironically, however, half us don't think we're sheep. Half us are outright liars. We're in denial. It's everyone else that is the mindless follower. At least that's what I'm figuring based on some info on CNN today.

Democrats are not revolutionaries - Both parties can kiss my ass

If Obama wasn't black would there be so much excitement about him?

Let me just get this out there. I'm NOT voting for Barack Obama. Of course, I'm not voting for John McCain either. I'm going to vote for whichever third party candidate catches my fancy on election day.

Even more important, I'm voting against EVERY single incumbent in Congress up for election in my district, which I think is a far more important task than voting for President. Lest we forget, it is Congress that legislates.
