The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

Sergio Garcia won't be inviting Tiger Woods over to his place anytime soon, well, unless he's serving fried chicken, as Garcia stated. When asked by Steve Sands of The Golf Channel if he would be inviting Woods over for dinner during the upcoming U.S. Open, Garcia said, "We will have him round every night. We will serve fried chicken." Garcia then recently "apologized" by saying this: "I apologize for any offense that may have been caused by my comment on stage during the European Tour Players' Awards dinner. I answered a question that was clearly made towards me as a joke with a silly remark, but in no way was the comment meant in a racist manner." Yes, Garcia was asked a question intended to be a joke, and while he may have only been kidding with his response, he should have known better than to have placed Woods in a stereotypical black light with his "fried chicken" quip. That would have been like if Garcia was engaged i...

I love old grumpy neighbors. One such neighbor lives across the street, is retired, and if he had to list his top hobby and was honest about it, it'd be complaining. Just a few days ago, I was walking my dog around the area and this very neighbor started talking to me. It was garbage day and he was asking if there were some lights on the driveway which somehow broke and wound up in his yard and on the street next to his yard. I knew this wasn't the case and told him of this, but he didn't seem to believe me. He obviously wanted someone to clean up the mess. A day later, with the help of family, we cleaned up the mess, even though it wasn't ours. Yesterday, I bumped into him again as I was walking my dog and he said he owed me a thank you. I said it wasn't a problem, but again let him know the lights weren't mine. He then seem puzzled on why we cleaned up the mess, and I responded, "Oh, just being nice." I think this made him guilty, for he gave a...

Many members of the media were quite "frustrated" that they weren't given full access to President Obama and Tiger Woods' golf outing the other day on the president's "day off" (like there's ever really a day off when president). What could be of greater importance to the media? Wars in the Middle East or how President Obama fared on the par 5's? The meteor in Russia or how well the president controlled his wood...on the golf course? Dangerous weather patterns or if the president putts like he would if he were playing pool? I too was quite flustered by the president's lack of transparency when he was swinging his awkward-shaped clubs at a tiny ball and then attempting to find that ball, before swinging at it again. To think I had taken the day off to follow the president's every move on the golf course during his "day off," and for what? For nothing - that's what! You know what this has all the makings of? A grand conspiracy...

Mitt Romney is at it again! During a May private meeting with donors in Boca Raton, Republican nominee Mitt Romney told his wealthy audience that it wasn't his job to worry about the 47% whom didn't pay federal income taxes. They were moochers, solely dependent upon the government and wouldn't vote for him anyway. As it was a private meeting, Mr. Romney was unaware that it was being recorded and that it would circulate the internet and airwaves more than lesbians scream when they see Justin Bieber. This resulted in his approval numbers falling harder than Dane Cook does for himself. Romney then attempted to suggest that he didn't really mean what he said during that private meeting and he would represent 100% of the people. Following the beat-down Romney suffered on election day, he decided to suggest to fund-raisers and donors that Obama only beat him because of how generous he was with his gift-giving to certain key demographics - namely blacks, Latinos and young ad...

In an interview on Radio Iowa Thursday, Mitt Romney's wife - Ann - said the following with regard to her husband being criticized by fellow Republicans: "Stop it. This is hard. You want to try? Get in the ring. This is hard and, you know, it's an important thing that we're doing right now and it's an important election and it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitt's qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country." I find this to be amusing, because of something that was uncovered in the secret tape which was spilled a few days ago.  During that fundraiser in Boca Raton, Mitt told the donors that he was using his wife on the campaign,  “...sparingly... so that people don't get tired of her.”
 In light of Ann's radio interview, rumor has it that Mitt told those same donors from the secret tape, "See? I told you...
