Tiger is in Town

Hang onto your hats ladies and gents Tiger Woods came to town to practice at the Augusta National. Wow that is front page news isn’t it? Unfortunately for Tiger the news is not that he came to practice or that he will be playing in the Masters, the news will be a rehash of his transgressions, how he is perceived now that he has been “caught” and some will even think he should be banned from play. How soon we forget. Does anyone remember John Daly? The John Daly who gambled, drank to excess, ate anything that wasn’t tied down and was arrested for spousal abuse. It has not been that long ago and I do not remember all the press jumping on the bandwagon to make such a spectacle out of his crimes as they have of Tiger Woods transgressions. Tiger did what a vast majority of men do; he had an affair(s) and I dare say if it was not for the scandal hungry media it would not have been blown into the proportion it was. In the grand scheme of things beating your wife and playing in major golf venues drunk is far worse than having multiple affairs. Cheating on your spouse is wrong but beating her up is criminal. I do not recall anyone having a problem welcoming Daly with open arms to this tournament so give it a rest where Tiger is concerned. Besides we now have something real to worry about; the circumventing of the Constitution to pass this health care bill and the bill itself. The insurance companies are going to make a fortune in fact the big brokerage houses have been pushing health insurance stock for months knowing this was going to happen. Insurance; is it the next bubble?
