Let Sleeping Tigers Lie
|
How many times have you watched pro athletes, with their wealth and influence and wished you could trade places with them? It may be that, on occasion, you might actually be better off than some of them.
That is at least the way it is in the case of Tiger Woods. He is probably the most gifted golfer who ever walked the planet and, since he became a champion on the world golf circuit, he has been rewarded with loads of money, lucrative commercial endorsements, worshipful fans, a gorgeous wife and two kids.
Unfortunately, though, his fortune may be changing.
Last week, Woods was involved in a car accident. After allegedly backing out of his driveway, he ran into a fire hydrant and then a tree. His spouse claimed that she knocked out the back windows of his vehicle with a golf club to pull him to safety. Cops arrived and he was taken to the hospital, treated for minor wounds and released.
The problem is that the story has not morphed into a colossal scandal, as some speculate that his wife might have been swingin'' that club at him for being unfaithful. Now, babes are coming out of the woodwork, with incriminating text messages and voice messages to them from Woods.
His career will probably recover, once the novelty of the scandal dies down, but his marriage may not.
Hey, maybe your boring life isn't so bad, after all! |

It's a Shock!
|
We thought the ride would never end, but a startling announcement from one of television's most beloved icons has stunned her many fans.
Yes, I am afraid it's true. Oprah Winfrey's syndicated talk show is about to fade into the sunset.
In September 2011, you'll no longer be able to tune in to see Oprah and best friend Gayle decide the best sandwich in America or listen to another story about her dogs' latest antics or find out what book you need to read to enlighten your spirit.
I personally am disappointed, primarily because I was hoping to score tickets for one of those "Oprah's Favorites" shows where she gives tons of high end gifts to audience members for free.
Seriously, though, this woman has been extremely influential during her television run. Powerfully so. Legions of women follow every New Age guru she promotes, select what they wear and eat and buy based upon her recommendations, etc. If you were ever fortunate enough to have her tout your product or book on her show, you could be sure that huge bucks would follow.
Oprah was the center of our universe and now she is leaving us. Why,oh,why couldn't it have been Dr. Phil or that Wendy Williams chick instead?
Oh,man, I feel so abandoned! |

When Will It Finally End?
|
No matter what your personal opinion may be of ex-Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, you have to feel sorry for her being saddled with an albatross around her neck like Levi Johnson.
Johnson is her "grandbaby daddy" and has recently been garnering 15 minutes of grade Z fame by profiting from his association with Palin and her family. He's been going on various talk shows, entertainment television programs, doing magazine interviews and has even shed his clothes to pose in the raw in Playgirl.
He has bad-mouthed Palin, accused her and "baby mama" Bristol of trying to keep his daughter away from him and has even implied that he knows "secrets" his former mother-in-law-to-be would be embarrassed about the world finding out.
All this from a guy whose biggest achievement in life is that he got a girl pregnant. If you've heard the boy speak, you know that he's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.
You think Johnson actually believes that all of this behavior is going to result in a long-term show business career for him, that Martin Scorsese is actually going to call him on the 'phone and say, "Hey, Levi, man,saw that amazing interview on The Insider with Star Jones and I just gotta have you for my next project with Bobby DeNiro?"
Nope, it aint gonna happen, people.
Sooner or later, the novelty will wear off and Levi Johnson will be headed back to the frigid regions of Alaska to build igloos and skin moose.
It can't be moment too soon, as far as I'm concerned! |

Educator Deserves Detention for Life
|
I hold fast to the belief that school systems need to do thorough psychological screening of the people they hire to teach our kids. While there are a lot of good people in the education biz, there seem to be others who don't need to be around human beings in general, much less children.
An unbelievable true story came out of Georgia recently regarding a high school teacher who truly went off the deep end after a reported unpleasant confrontation with one of his students.
Sources allege that the instructor commented on the manner in which a 16-year-old male student started dancing with another boy. He then questioned the student's sexual preference. The same student contends that the teacher also threatened to sock him. Another teen reportedly claims that the teacher told him that he would pay him to kill the troublesome student.
Say what?
Although some of the other students who know this educator are defending him and saying that he is a "kidder" and may have just been playing around, neither the boy, the boy's mother or the school system is laughing. The guy was taken in by authorities and is currently on administrative leave, with his job possibly at risk and possible time behind bars.
If this person was "joking," do you agree with me that it was totally stupid and inappropriate? We pay teachers to teach, not to do standup comedy routines.
If he was serious about having this student killed, he should get some jail time and/or psychiatric care.
Either way, what a complete jackass!! |

Oh, What a Tangled Web We Weave...
|
In these days and times of economic stress, there are people who are in dire need of extra cash. Some folks will do just about anything to make money, as a recent case in Central Texas has proven.
A 24-year-old woman from the Robinson area needed some cash to meet her needs and came up with a novel way to achieve that goal. What she did has her town in shock.
It seems that the skanky lass told family members, friends and fellow workers at her job that she was a victim of breast cancer. Of course, she garnered lots of sympathy from everyone. To show support, a fundraiser was held on her behalf and $10,000 worth of donations came in to help her pay her medical bills and other expenses. The community really rallied around this woman.
Turns out, however, that she did not have breast cancer at all, but used the monies she received to get a boob job. She even shaved her head to give the impression that she was having chemo. Her husband of 7 brief months even believed she had the dreaded disease.
Somehow her ruse was discovered and the jig was up. The lying babe was arrested by the cops for "theft by deception", later released on bail and now awaits her day in court.
Her colleagues are ticked off big time and groups for cancer support that raise funds for legitimate cancer victims fear her scam may negatively affect their efforts.
As for the hubby she supposedly got the boob enhancement to impress, he filed for an annulment.

Patriotic Bad Buys
|
Once November hits, you can be sure that criminals will be out in full force, ready to' rob, steal and take advantage of innocent victims.
A recent situation occurred in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, though, that proves that truth is always much stranger than fiction and that even some bad guys have good moments.
Four men decided to mug a 21-year-old guy who was returning home from his job in the wee hours of the early morning. Obviously, they saw him as a pretty easy mark and held him at gunpoint, after taking him into a dark alley. Their intentions were clearly evil and they callously filched his cell phone,wallet and other things. It would seem that this event would end up being a rather routine one, don't you think?
Except that it wasn't.
In the course of going through their stash, the muggers discovered, after looking at the man's identification in his wallet, that he was an Army reservist. Well, quicker than you can sing "The Star Spangled Banner", they made a bizarre about face.
The leader of this gang of robbers ordered his fellow crooks to give the stuff they took back and immediately thanked the perplexed young gent for his military service, apologized and even gave the fella an enthusiastic fist bump before disappearing.
Before you get too warm and fuzzy thinking about this "heartwarming" story, it wasn't exactly a perfect ending.
The muggers neglected to return his keys.

It's a Cold, Cold World!
|
Nothing could sound sweeter to the ears of a prison inmate than hearing that he is going to be getting out of the slammer soon, right?
Wrong. At least in the case of some New Hampshire jailbirds, who were not too pleased at all about being turned out of their forced confinement.
It seems that they much prefer the prison life to the hard reality outside bars, where the economy stinks. It's difficult enough as it is to get a decent job when you have a record. Also, the weather is getting chilly and ex-cons are finding it hard to find affordable place to live where they can get out of the cold and enjoy an occasional hot meal.
Knowing that they were about to face these possibilities, two Rockingham County inmates sent letters to the jail's superintendent saying, "Thanks, but no thanks!" to being let out and requesting to be kept in the "Big House", at least until the weather warms up. After all, that way they could be assured of having a decent place to live, three squares a day and access to good workout equipment. Kind of like a dangerous motel paid for by tax dollars.
Their requests were, of course, denied, since they had already served their required amount of time, and the two inmates in question will be bounced at the designated time.
If you live in Rockingham County, though, I suggest that you watch your back, just in case these guys try to get back in prison by knocking you in the head with a 2-by-4. |

Et Tu, Dr. Phil?
|
David Letterman isn't the only television personality in hot water.
Television advice guru Dr. Phil McGraw is being sued by one of his very ticked-off ex patients, who filed her suit against him in L.A. this week.
According to the papers filed, the lady in question is accusing Dr. Phil of sexual harassment, as well as "brainwashing", which she claims to have suffered while under his care. She is alleging that the folksy psychotherapist prevented her from sleeping, mentally abused her, touched her inappropriately and tried to keep her in his office against her will. According to her bizarre account of what transpired when she was being treated by McGraw , she was also prohibited from leaving by his staff, as she was forced to be in a room with a strange male in his birthday suit.
If this individual has her way in court, the famous t.v. doc will be paying damages out of the ying yang to compensate her.
Wonder if Dr. Phil will do like David Letterman and discuss this thing openly on the air with his audience? The get-it-out-there-in-the-open method seems to be working positively for Dave, whose ratings have gone up since he's been publicly discussing his personal scandal.
However, Phil McGraw is no David Letterman and the accusations against him are far creepier than the ones against Letterman.
My guess is that his "mentor' Oprah will probably not be taking any of his 'phone calls for awhile.

Late Night Stunner
|
Whoever thought the word "scandal" and David letterman's name would go in the same sentence? Just goes to show you that nobody is perfect, even late night talk show hosts.
CBS's David Letterman admitted to his audience, following his monologue, that
he had come across a package sitting in the back of his vehicle. along with a message implying that he knew Letterman had done "terrible things" and threatening to disclose those "things" publicly unless a certain amount of cash was provided.
Dave went on to tell how the blackmailer in question had been picked up by the cops, then revealed that the extortion plot was due to the fact that he (Letterman) had had sexual relations with some of his female staffers.
So, I guess the stunned audience members sat, stunned to silence in their seats, right?
WRONG!
During the whole time he described the situation, they LAUGHED and, in some cases, even applauded. Letterman probably got more mileage from his extortion tale than he did with his opening routine that night.
It will be interesting to see what happens from this point on.
Once upon a time, the public would probably have been enraged by something like this, but we live in a time when not much is shocking to us anymore.
By coming to the audience before the tabloids got to them first, he probably made it a lot easier on himself. |

Tale of a Tall Tale
|
Ah, remember those good old school days! Your sixth grade teacher with the hairy mole, your assistant principal with the lisp and bad hairpiece and, of course, all those trips to the office for setting off the fire alarm.
Okay, maybe not everybody had these experiences, but a lot of us can remember what we felt like when we had a lousy report card. The journey back home was like a walk of misery, as we anticipated our folks' response to those low marks. Talk about fright and apprehension!
This was the situation that one Huntsville, Alabama lad recently found himself in.
While we can sympathize with his plight, we may not especially agree with the manner in which he handled it.
The 11-year-old middle school student caused horror and concern to his family members, school and community when he gave a dramatic report about being the victim of a crime.
According to the story he described to authorities, a shady character wielding a gun and driving a worn-out looking vehicle drove up to where he was and made him get inside. The boy then claimed to have gotten away by jumping from the auto, leaving behind his school things, which, of course, included his report card.
He ended up going to the home of his grandparents, probably thinking, like most of us have, that Grandmas and Grandpas are naive saps.
The police were contacted and, naturally, everyone was up in arms about the incident, fearing that a predator was loose in the area.
However, seems the kidnapping tale turned out to be totally bogus. The child finally admitted to his grandfolks that he made up the whole thing because of his report card and the relieved cops were informed.
While you may understand this young dude's desperation, his lying about being kidnapped, in a day and time when there are kids who are really being kidnapped and even attacked and killed by predators, was totally uncool.
This boy definitely deserves an "F" for his actions.

The Ultimate "Cougar"
|
If you thought Hulk Hogan's ex-wifey was a "cougar" for having a romance with a considerably younger male playmate, you ain't heard nothin' yet!
A 107-year-old Malaysian lady named Wok Kundor makes Beth Hogan look pretty tame in comparison. She's been wed for 4 blissful years to a dude who is 70 years younger than she is.
Yep, that's right, 70 years younger.
Her 37-year-old mate, however, is not her first spouse. He was preceded by 21 other husbands, who Wok either lost to divorce or because they tragically went on to their eternal reward.
She had hoped to find lasting love with her present hubby, but, apparently, all may not be well in this "perfect" union. Wok has suspicions that her partner, away in drug rehab, might be thinking of ditching her for a younger babe, like, say, some tantalizing 90-year-old temptress.
Despite his wife's feelings of insecurity, her husband vehemently denies straying and still claims publicly to be as much in love as ever with her.
Despite her beloved's protests, though, Wok is still keeping her options open and is allegedly already scoping out a potential replacement, in case her current spouse dumps her.
Like any woman, she just wants to find her true soulmate.
YOU GO, GIRL! |
