Tiger Woods was not drunk, he was on prescription pain medication

tiger-woods-flexing

There appears to be more to the Tiger Woods solo auto accident then was first reported. Go figure. When Woods first hit the fire hydrant and then the neighbor’s tree, he was sitting behind the wheel unresponsive. The doors were locked, so wife Elin Nordegren used a golf club to smash in one of the back windows so that she could extract Tiger from the vehicle. Either she had heard the crash and came outside to see what had happened or she helped cause the accident by slamming that same golf club she used to rescue her husband into Tiger’s Cadillac Escalade several times as he was trying to leave the happy home. Both scenarios have been appearing in news accounts about the accident.

Tiger was lying in the street with his wife Elin was standing over him when police arrived.

Remember those facial lacerations that Tiger supposedly sustained in the auto accident? Well, it now appears he received those not from the accident, but from his lovely wife prior to the accident. It was supposedly the reason Tiger was in the mood to go out driving at 2:30 a.m.

Because his wife beat him up.

And what would cause the Elin to go medieval on Tiger? Rumor has it that Tiger has been seeing another woman, Rachel Uchitel. The rumor had been reported in the National Enquirer this week so it must be true. They are usually right about such things. As John Edwards.

Though Tiger Woods may not have been using alcohol at the time of the accident, he evidently was taking prescription pain medication. This would explain why he was acting so loopy when police arrived.

What it doesn’t explain is why he wasn’t placed under arrest.

Why Creigh Deeds lost

creighdeeds2A lot of the so-called experts are theorizing why Creigh Deeds, the Democrat nominee for Virginia governor, lost to the Republican candidate Bob McDonnell on Tuesday’s off-year election. Now I’m not an expert and I don’t live in Virginia, but I’m not going to let any of that stop me from weighing in on the topic.

Creigh Deeds lost because he is Creigh Deeds.

Living in Maryland, I get to not only see lots of campaign ads for candidates here in Maryland, but I’m able to see all the ads for candidates in West Virgina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia too. I cannot begin to count how many ads I’ve seen on TV for both Creigh Deeds and Bob McDonnell. By election day, I was fed up with seeing both candidates for Virginia. If I was a voter in Virginia, I wouldn’t have voted for either candidate.

I would have stayed home on election day.

I’m tired of voting for candidates that I just don’t like. I’ve been forced to do this because the Democrats put awful candidates on the ballot. I told myself after having to vote for John Kerry and John Edwards in 2004 that I would never vote for someone I didn’t like ever again.

I don’t like Creigh Deeds. He’s against gay marriage. He thinks juveniles should be eligible for the death penalty.  He voted to make English the official language.  He’s against the public option, and he said that if he was governor of Virginia, he would consider “opting out” of any public option health insurance plan.

With Democrats like Creigh Deeds, who needs Republicans?

I think history has shown that when voters are given the choice between a Republican and a Republican Lite, more times than not, they will choose the actual Republican.  If a voter is against gay marriage, pro-death penalty, thinks people should only speak English, and is against health care reform, they are probably a Republican.

Why is John Edwards still lying?

Everyone’s favorite son of a millworker John Edwards claimed in his prepared written statement that he had broken it off with his mistress Rielle Hunter in 2006. He wrote:

With my family, I took responsibility for my actions in 2006 and today I take full responsibility publicly. But that misconduct took place for a short period in 2006. It ended then.

On ABC News Nightline, John Edwards claimed that in 2006 he told his wife Elizabeth about “The Mistake” and asked her forgiveness.

Technology blogger Robert Scoble took this photo of Rielle Hunter on December 30, 2006 in in New Orleans at an Edwards event and was working with the Edwards team.

If he ended his relationship with Rielle Hunter in 2006, why is she there in New Orleans with him?

Why is he insisting that the affair ended in 2006?  I’m guessing because Rielle Hunter’s baby was born on February 27, 2008. It seems Edwards wants to make it look mathematically impossible that he is the baby’s father.

The definition of voyeurism

I guess Elizabeth Edwards has issued a statement about her husband’s infidelities and the subsequent lying about it over on Daily Kos.  I don’t know if she actually wrote the words that appear there or if someone from her husband’s staff (if he even still has a staff) wrote the words on her behalf. 

Her concluding statement was interesting. It was:

I ask that the public, who expressed concern about the harm John’s conduct has done to us, think also about the real harm that the present voyeurism does and give me and my family the privacy we need at this time.

Voyeurism? Is that what she thinks is going on here? Webster’s defines voyeurism as “sexual stimulation or satisfaction from looking at naked people, most often without their knowledge.”

I’d argue that there is only one person in this whole mess that was deriving sexual stimulation or satisfaction. His name is John Edwards.

What if John Edwards had won the Democratic Presidential nomination? Imagine what the right-wing would have done with this information in the last week of October. They would have run nonstop commercials showing Edwards with his mistress along with her baby. The same baby that does not have a father listed on the birth certificate. The same baby that we are supposed to take at Edward’s word that is not his.

Knowing what we know now about John Edwards, he never should have pursued the Democratic Presidential nomination for 2008. Anyone that knew John Edwards had been screwing around on his wife in 2006 should for the good of the party and the country have discouraged him from pursuing the nomination. That includes Elizabeth Edwards. If she knew about it.

I’m not convinced that she did.

I told you John Edwards was a fake

News broke out this afternoon that former Democratic presidential hopeful and all around fake John Edwards had as the National Enquirer reported earlier, had an extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter. He evidently is still claiming that the woman’s child is not his. Why anyone would trust him at this point is beyond me.

I cannot imagine the pain Elizabeth Edwards is going through right now. Now only is she dying from cancer, she has to deal with this mess. My heart goes out to her.

The timing of this announcement is more then just a coincidence. Not only did he pick a Friday to make this announcement, he chose the first day of the Olympics. People have their attentions elsewhere today.

The mainstream news media really dropped the ball on this. Why was the National Enquirer able to learn about this, but they were not? How pathetic they look. It is no wonder that newspapers are losing more and more readers each and every year. If they actually did their jobs and tried to uncover the truth, maybe people would still be reading them.

HIV is on the rise

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a report stating the HIV in the United States has increased quite a lot:

There are more new cases of Americans infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, than previously believed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Saturday.

About 56,000 people became infected with HIV in the past year, which translates to about 40 percent more cases than officials had estimated, said Dr. Kevin Fenton, director of the CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention.

I am not at all surprised. When you look at how many celebrities, professional athletes, and even politicians are having children outside of wedlock, it’s obvious that quite a few people are having unprotected sex.

John Edwards has a mistress?

Rielle HunterThe National Enquirer is reporting that John Edwards not only has a mistress, 31-year old Rielle Hunter, but also a love child with that mistress.

It would be easy to just dismiss the story as being nothing more then supermarket tabloid who-ha, but the National Enquirer is usually right about this kind of stuff. I can’t imagine the National Enquirer reporting this unless they had proof that it is true.

The linked article is funny in that it documents National Enquirer reporters confronting Edwards at a Los Angeles hotel at 2:40 a.m. Edwards was reportedly leaving Rielle Hunter’s hotel room. The article states that Edwards ducked into a men’s room until hotel security could escort him out and away from the reporters.

John Edwards has Secret Service protection?

I was reading an article about the guy living next door to John and Elizibeth Edwards. His name is Monty Johnson. He is the man Elizabeth Edwards referred to as a “rabid, rabid Republican.” She also said she didn’t want her children anywhere near him because of his love for guns.

In the article, Monty spoke of first seeing the Edwards:

The day they looked at their property, the couple and several Secret Service agents parked on his land and walked across the street into the woods.

Johnson approached the agents and asked what they were doing on his property. “The Secret Service let me know it wasn’t my concern,” he said.

Did they use The Force? Like Obi-Wan telling the stormtroopers, “These are not the droids you are looking for.

Why would Edwards even have Secret Service protection? I thought that only happened when a candidate actually won his (or her) party’s nomination. Edwards would have had such protection while running for the Vice President in 2004, but in another article written in January of this year it states that they recently moved into this home.

Would the Edwards even have time to go house hunting will running for Vice President?

Ann Coulter calls Democratic Presidential hopeful John Edwards a “faggot”

Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Ann Coulter said:

“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”

People in attendance actually cheered.

They do know what the word “faggot” means, right? It really makes me wonder. It’s a derogatory term for someone who is homosexual. Clearly John Edwards is not homosexual. So called “conservatives” know this, right? I will admit in all honesty that John Edwards is not my idea of an ideal presidential candidate.

That doesn’t mean that I think he is gay.

It’s hard to take conservatives seriously sometimes. They say peculiar and outlandish things and expect the rest of us to react with a straight face. Things such as that Ronald Reagan was a great president or that global warming is a hoax. Now we are to believe that John Edwards is gay.

Do conservatives even know what homosexuality is? We have always assumed that they do, but what if they really have no idea what it really means? If so, it certainly begs the question as to why we allow them to have their way in matters pertaining to gay people. Such as the issue of gay marriage.

John Edwards is a fake

Democrat John Edwards talks a lot about his humble beginnings. He likes to talk about there being two Americas. One that’s rich and one that is not. The above is a aerial photo of John Edward’s home. Guess which America he is in?

His recreation building contains a basketball court, a squash court, two stages, a bedroom, kitchen, bathrooms, swimming pool, a four-story tower, and a room called “John’s Lounge.” Maybe instead of announcing his candidacy for President from the ninth ward in New Orleans, he should have made it from John’s Lounge. That at least would have been honest.

The guy is a fake. He’s a hypocrite. It’s not even as though he actually built his wealth with the sweat of his own brow. It’s not like he invented something innovative or spectacular. He didn’t build anything. He didn’t create anything. He didn’t even amass his wealth the old fashioned way by being born into it. No, he made his millions being a personal injury trial attorney. Two things had to happen for Edwards to make money. A doctor had to make a mistake and a patient had to suffer because of it.

The Edwards empire was built on the misfortune and misery of others.

Now he wants to use the economic misfortune of others to propel his presidential aspirations. Not that this is new. He used this same tactic the last time he tried to be President.

I don’t think some guy with his own personal squash court has any business lecturing anyone that there are two Americas.
