Sunday Funnies

Sports

-Tiger Coasting? If you pay attention to the media and the stats that would seem to be the case. I would imagine that is anything but the case for the guy with all the skills and lots of hardware already in his trophy case. Yes it will be just another day at the office for Tiger but certainly the weight of the pressure, a self imposed pressure, to win a major to have a successful season, has to have its toll. At least one would think. So far, he's done everything right these last two weeks. Expect we'll know rather quickly this afternoon if the #1 professional can match the achievements of our own little giant, Charlie Sheetz, who really does get to coast after claiming the Senior League Individual trophy last Thursday with a brilliant round of 44 which translated into a net 30 which pretty much trounced all the competition.

-Sergio Garcia dq'ed. My oh my. Not good when your playing partner (Boo Weekley) puts down the wrong score and you sign it and turn it in. Not good at all, Sergio. Where was his caddy? Don't these guys have a fail safe checking mechanism?


Weather

Hot and steamy and dry though not as horrific as earlier in the week.

Government and Politics

-Impeachment: Bill Moyers at PBS this last Friday night had a discussion with John Nichols and Bruce Fein on why the Founding Fathers made a big deal of impeachment - because they knew what guys who were kings did and they wanted some kind of control to rein in their excessive behaviors. Excessive behavior? The Bush Man? I guess it would depend on your perspective. Was it Barry Goldwater who said extremism in the defense of liberty is is no vice? Of course, there's this little thing we have here in America and something which we espouse throughout the world and throughout our own history: we are a nation of laws, no man is above the law, law rules. So let law rule, and let Congress bring forth articles of impeachment to let the guy in the WH know that his power is bridled. And as John Nichols and Bruce Fein said in the discussion, drop the charges once the behavior is back in line with the Constitution. Seems simple. Need people and our congressmen and women to step up.

-Iraq War: Remains stupid and shameful. We continue to kill and be killed. Are their any peace makers out there?

Other Stuff

-Golfers filled the golf course yesterday, glad to get that little bitty break in the weather. Already things heating up today. While I was out there earlier today, watched Joe Allen hit a terrible tee shot from #7 green which almost found the lake but which Joe tracked down with more than a foot to spare at water's edge; and of course you already know what he did with his chip - buries it in the cup ala Tiger Woods on Friday. Sunday morning fun.

-Breakfast time and then another run to the golf course.
