Friday, February 19th, 2010Well that was about as long as I expected it to be. 15 minutes and it’s over. So we now know that Tiger is a Buddhist (if not a flawed one), that he has been in sex rehab and is going back tomorrow. We know he is not taking performance enhancing drugs (that’s baseball’s claim [...]
Just another isolated event
Friday, February 19th, 2010Just days ago the Government decided that there was nothing more they could do to pursue justice in the Sean Bell shooting. After 4 years and 50 shots, nothing has been done besides “normal police actions”. Across the country, in an odd coincidence, a Black man was unarmed and shot in the back by police. [...]
Tiger comes to cable television show
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Never let it be said that a television network lets a good scandal go without profiting from it. Spike TV sure hasn’t.

The resolution of the Sean Bell case. A quick summary of the case. Sean Bell was having his bachelor party [...]
We are the World – Haiti edition
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010So I’m in NYC, talking to my accountant and enjoying the rapture that is the Obama Administration. But that’s not why you are on this blog. I think that enough time has passed that discussing the “revisioned” We are the World song will not hurt the donations to Haiti that it can provide. By now [...]
Pre-Valentine's Day song
Saturday, February 13th, 2010Considering all the commercializm of the day, I am often reminded of a song that truly captures the spirit of it all. Not on an individual basis, but the whole superficial nature that it is these days (and it was pretty bad years ago). Maybe tomorrow I’ll get more into the romantic aspect of it, [...]
