It's a mad mad mad mad world!

Al Quaeda strikes in London. Horrible. And I feel for the London people, just off the high of winning the olympic bid. But the world has changed completely now, and ultimately forever. Those terrorist pigs will never go away again, and the next big war of the world will be to wipe them out with strategic strikes, possibly even Nuclear (although I doubt we'll use nukes). The world landscape has been fundamentally altered; wonder if the Spanish and French and Germans are rethinking their positions? Yeah, I'll bet they are getting ready to grab their ankles and bend right over...

Michelle Wie - is anyone as sick of her circus sideshow as I am? Look, she played great at the LPGA, but she hasn't won ANYTHING! Nothing in the juniors, nothing in the amatuers, and expecially nothing at the pro level. She hasn't proven anything other than the fact that a nice young lady who can bomb the ball can bring in more gate dollars. She has proven nothing in her career, and I will predict a mediocre career for her in the long run. Getting beat down by professionals week in and week out because they are BETTER than her cannot be good for her confidence or psyche, but I guess we'll see. With all those sponsor exemptions (on both the PGA and LPGA tours) she has become a freak sideshow, which I think is bad for the game. And fosters resentment among the other, more seasoned tour players...

So the suspects in the Aruba case have been released...with no body, and all their time to fabricate stores and alibis, it's not a surprise they are let out. But I believe that the little shithead Van Der Snot is a guilty rich kid, and his father is assiting in covering this up cuz he's a diplomat. She's dead, they buried or sank her body, it's time to accept the inevitable.

Shasta Groene was molested...this is also not a surprise. What is INCREDIBLE is this man's ability to elude scrutiny, and not register, and register then jump ship to another state - our child molester laws either don't work, or are great but not diligently enforced. Face it USA, your federal law enforcement, as necessary as they are, have become for the most part lazy and ineffective. I'm just going to protect my house from intruders and danger using a new Smith & Wesson security system. Screw it. If the alarm goes off, I will put a hole in the chest of anything that walks through the door. I am losing confidence in our policing agencies.

So Kenny Rogers apologized for his tirade against a couple of cameramen which sent one to the hospital. Now there's a police investigation. What an asshole. He's suspended for 20 games, FORBID him to play in the All Star game. THAT is a punishment that to me, fits the crime. Too many times we forgive abhorrent behavior from our professional atheletes because they are "swell guys". F**K THAT! Being an asshole is based little on your social or professional status - if you're an asshole, you're an asshole.

Granted, that brings me to another rant. I DO think we need to give some of our "beautiful people" absolutely NO slack when they attack paparazzi and such for intruding into their lives. Hey, sorry, the price of fame and fortune. You want the quon, you gotta pay the price. Yes, there are some limits, like a cameraman following you into the john taking a picture while your dropping a load, but hey, it's all part and parcel of the famous person thing. Like the football players complaining that they are hurt and broken after they retire from the sport. SO WHAT? You wanted to make millions a year playing a professional sport, that's what you get! No one forced you to play football, tough shit! No sympathy here. Whiners...

On a final note, the annual "kick Tilam's ass on the golf course outing" is coming up in just over a month. Start the obituaries...
