Tiger's really, really, really sorry

Like millions of other curious dopes, I tuned in at 11am today to watch Tiger Wood's so-called press conference. If it hasn't done so already a dozen times over, TV journalism definitely jumped the shark today with all major networks and their anchors covering this pathetic man's attempt to re-boot his multi-million dollar career. Is this really news Brian, Diane and Katie? I lost count how many times Tiger said he was sorry. But why is he apologizing to us? The only person he should be saying he's sorry to is his wife--and in private. There's nothing worse than a cheating spouse, but to move on, Tiger needs his wife's forgiveness, not ours.

VIDEO: 9/11 Tribute - The Twin Towers Rise Again


 
I created this video in 2002, as a tribute to the victims of the Islamic terrorists attacks on 9/11/2001.  It is dedicated to them and to all the first responders and emergency workers who came to New York from around the country. They are all heroes and their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
 
8 years later, there is still a gaping hole where the World Trade Center stood and many Americans, along with our representatives in Washington, have forgotten the importance of this day. The Twin Towers should have been rebuilt exactly as they looked, only stronger and mightier. Anything less is an insult to the men and women who died on 9/11 and to those who have died defending our freedom.

Read this and you'll never drink Fiji Water again

I just read an amazing article at MotherJones.com about Fiji Water, the trendy bottled H20 which is the favorite of elites like Paris Hilton, Mary J. Blige and even President Obama. Here's a little tidbit:

"Nowhere in Fiji Water's glossy marketing materials will you find reference to the typhoid outbreaks that plague Fijians because of the island's faulty water supplies; the corporate entities that Fiji Water has—despite the owners' talk of financial transparency—set up in tax havens like the Cayman Islands and Luxembourg; or the fact that its signature bottle is made from Chinese plastic in a diesel-fueled plant and hauled thousands of miles to its ecoconscious consumers. And, of course, you won't find mention of the military junta for which Fiji Water is a major source of global recognition and legitimacy."
