Taiwanese Press Scoops TMZ, Gets Video (Animation) Of Tiger Woods Crash

This is irrefutable proof!

Awesomeness, but the video was missing tentacles.

Was the alleged beat-down accompanied by a five-iron?

Crouching Tiger, Hidden, Mansion.

Where was Godzilla, anyway? And what’s with “Health Central”? Is that where the Senate is debating HRC?
.
BTW, “Tiger” looks boyishly youthfully Asian to an extreme. They gotta work on those Black features a bit…

Chris Hedges, Addicted to Nonsense:

“Will Tiger Woods finally talk to the police? Who will replace Oprah? (Not that Oprah can ever be replaced, of course.) And will Michaele and Tareq Salahi, the couple who crashed President Barack Obama’s first state dinner, command the hundreds of thousands of dollars they want for an exclusive television interview? Can Levi Johnston, father of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s grandson, get his wish to be a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars”?

The chatter that passes for news, the gossip that is peddled by the windbags on the airwaves, the noise that drowns out rational discourse, and the timidity and cowardice of what is left of the newspaper industry reflect our flight into collective insanity. We stand on the cusp of one of the most seismic and disturbing dislocations in human history, one that is radically reconfiguring our economy as it is the environment, and our obsessions revolve around the trivial and the absurd.

What really matters in our lives-the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the steady deterioration of the dollar, the mounting foreclosures, the climbing unemployment, the melting of the polar ice caps and the awful reality that once the billions in stimulus money run out next year we will be bereft and broke-doesn’t fit into the cheerful happy talk that we mainline into our brains. We are enraptured by the revels of a dying civilization. Once reality shatters the airy edifice, we will scream and yell like petulant children to be rescued, saved and restored to comfort and complacency. There will be no shortage of demagogues, including buffoons like Sarah Palin, who will oblige. We will either wake up to face our stark new limitations, to retreat from imperial projects and discover a new simplicity, as well as a new humility, or we will stumble blindly toward catastrophe and neofeudalism….

I spent two years traveling the country to write a book on the Christian right called “American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America.” I visited former manufacturing towns where for many the end of the world is no longer an abstraction. Many have lost hope. Fear and instability have plunged the working class into profound personal and economic despair, and, not surprisingly, into the arms of demagogues and charlatans of the radical Christian right who offer a belief in magic, miracles and the fiction of a utopian Christian nation. Unless we rapidly re-enfranchise these dispossessed workers, insert them back into the economy, unless we give them hope, these demagogues will rise up to take power. Time is running out. The poor can dine out only so long on illusions. Once they grasp that they have been betrayed, once they match the bleak reality of their future with the fantasies they are fed, once their homes are foreclosed and they realize that the jobs they lost are never coming back, they will react with a fury and vengeance that will snuff out the remains of our anemic democracy and usher in a new dark age.”

The high level of inanity of some of my responses are a bow to these sentiments, and the lack of foresight on the part of the media.

MS just realized he’d written two consecutive posts that were more or less about real news, so he had to compensate with this.

What the hell is this sh*t.
.
Scherer gives us a post in which he straight up types out the White House talking points. Figuring that his work is done for the day, he kicks back and gives us a celebrity video.

Cute. Back to pressing issues, as there is nothing here on it, let me hijack this thread to say that the President’s speech is brilliant. And I don’t even support the continued effort in Afghanistan, but he brought me to tears. Every speech he makes approaches the Gettysburg Address. In the middle of it all, a very classy smack down of the fascist Iraq attack and the fascist Repubs. Now I will listen to McCain.

MS what’s entertaining on dead spin doesn’t always work on swampland… just sayin’

Seems to me that McCain just used 1,000 words to relentlessly pick that scab about “sending the wrong message”.
.
FFFFffaaaaaarrrrrrtttt!
.
Everyone wanted an exit strategy, we got one. Good!
.
Let’s wait until, say, two years before we start picking POTUS to death. Let him do his job, already!

53, McCain did ultimately agree with the President, but like you say, why waste time scratching scabs. The Repubs sent nothing but wrong messages when they were calling the shots, and they continue to obfuscate and pander and froth at the mouth. We have nothing to fear of Repubs other than Repubs themselves.

I think that the years 1978 to now will be fertile ground for social psychiatrists and sociologists in the future.
.
Unfortunately, I fear the products of their investigations…

Grouchy Tiger, Hittin’ Trees.

Is this how it felt to be British in the 1950′s?

Michael Scherer:
.
Maybe we’ll see this video highlighted in the next episode of “Mouthpiece Theater”?

To be British in the fifties was to recognise that international conflicts had irrevocably damaged one’s place in the world and that the new kid on the block could manipulate government policy by playing with one’s currency.

So yes, I guess you are right Stuart. You just don’t know it yet.

Broken Escalade,
Afghanistan neglected,
Why can’t Michael stop?

All right, let’s have it – let’s get the breathless analysis of Obama’s Afghanistan speech out of the way. We all know it’s coming.

…hmm, given Tiger’s recent statement on his website, IF any of the affair allegations are true, will we see a new anime video from the Taiwan press …of the affair reenactments?

When asked how many times she hit him, Woods’ wife said, “I don’t remember, but put me down for a five.”
