A few thoughts about stuff while we were away:

…Hard for me to feel sorry for Tiger Woods. The guy has a lotta nerve complaining about a lack of privacy when few athletes have used the media so flawlessly in his rise to the top of the golfing world. You can’t have it both ways - you want to rake in millions upon millions of dollars by being the most recognized athlete on the face of the earth, fine, but don’t complain about the media attention when you (as the Italians would say) “sh*t where you eat”.

…Me, I just don’t understand it. If you want to look at girls other than your wife, hang out at strip clubs in Vegas or NYC like A-Rod does. It sure beats engaging in full-blown affairs. Tiger might call that sort of thing a “personal sin”, but make no mistake about it - it’s a sin. Period.

…President Obama’s putrid speech on his Afghanistan strategy is going to boomerang back on him. He should have just told the American people the truth - the only reason why we’re sending more troops to Afghanistan is to cover the fact that we’re petrified of Pakistan’s government collapsing and its nuclear arsenal falling into the hands of Al Qaeda.

…Sarah Palin is 100% right: what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I’ll say it again for, like, the 272th time - no President in our history has been elected by an electorate so ignorant and uneducated about his background as Barack Obama was.

…Can’t wait for the Marco Scutaro era to begin. I got two words for you: Julio. Lugo. Hate to say it, but 2010 is gonna be one long year for the Boston Red Sox.
