  • Tiger and the Price of Fame

    Patrick's Place

    Tiger Woods today issued a new statement on his website admitting that he’d let his family down and saying he regretted his unspecified “transgressions” with all his heart. He also acknowledged being “dismayed” by the tabloid scrutiny, and adds this: Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t [...]

    Within the comments in a recent post some questioned whether the Joint High Speed Vessel, which cannot beach,  would be adequate in the amphibious assault mission, or would it just be for transport. I felt it could do the beach assault mission in a pinch, which would be better than keeping very [...]

    tiger paw

    The Tiger Woods’ implosion continues unabated, as the world’s greatest golfer now must face the fallout from the preferential treatment he received from the Florida Highway Patrol in the wake of his bizarre Thanksgiving night car crash.

    It’s the latest PR disaster in what could very [...]

    Christmas has come early for our founding editor, who has been waiting for months to ridicule whatever crappy postseason bowl game the University of South Carolina football team winds up playing in this year.

    Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl, anyone?

    Yeah, with its 7-5 record, even Shreveport was [...]

    While I’m on the subject of the sanctity of marriage, I can’t help but chuckle at Bradley Jacobs’s appearance on CBS’s The Early Show this morning. Jacobs, the senior editor for Us Weekly magazine, is talking about his magazine’s publication of accusations by another woman claiming to be Tiger Woods’s [...]

    Outstanding Quote A sailor onboard the USS Freedom LCS-1 gives us an apt description of the soon-to-be deployed warship: “We’re a sports car out here amongst a bunch of family sedans, to be honest,” notes OS2 Joshua Merrill. In other words, a Ferrari instead of a Ford, being sent to combat the world’s [...]

  • Want to Protect Marriage? Ban Divorce!

    Patrick's Place

    Number of comments: 3
    It may have begun as a joke, but it’s gaining some serious support. A California man listened to voters who wanted same-sex marriage outlawed claim that the state’s Proposition 8 was needed to “protect the sanctity of marriage.” So continuing with that theme, he’s proposed a ban on divorce.  This story makes [...]

    I’ll go ahead and get the moral of the story out of the way right up front: pay your vehicle property tax on time. Got it. I understand. Really. I managed to be one month off, thinking that I had until November 30 to pay my tax bill rather than October 30, [...]

    A Michigan divorce lawyer has been stripped of his right to practice law for 180 days after an investigation discovered that he had failed to report prior convictions.

    Of course, that’s not the offense that has his story ricocheting around the legal blogosphere (and beyond).

    In addition to [...]

    steve spurrier

    Head football coach Steve Spurrier came to South Carolina prior to the 2005 season promising SEC championships and BCS bowl bids, while visions of a 100,000-seat stadium danced in the heads of greedy Gamecock athleticrats.

    Spurrier’s team finished that season 7-5, unranked with a middle-of-the-road bowl [...]

    white house crashers

    The fact that America is still talking about the “White House Crashers” who allegedly gained unauthorized access into President Barack Obama’s first-ever state dinner last month is ridiculous.

    Seriously, people … the economy is in the tank, a socialized medicine proposal is lurching toward and [...]
