By now most of you have had more than your share of hearing about our promiscuous ball whacking friend. Whether what he did was wrong or immoral is not the issue; the real reason for people’s obsession with Tiger Woods and his extracurricular ‘activities’ is not for its immorality or shock but because America is bored out of its mind. Who remembers that Jackson guy that died a few months ago??…everyone was going crazy about his life and rumors surrounding his death. What was his name anyway…it was on the tip of my tongue, was it Lester, or Gary, maybe Bill? No, No, Bill was the president who had his own extracurricular club. right?

We are such a bored, empty, soul-less society that we derive our deepest pleasures from the tragedy, mistakes, and stupidity of others. Think about it: Michael Jackson was a “weirdo” and a “molester” before he died. Two hours after he died he became a national hero and “the most talented man” who ever lived. As the great George Carlin used to say: as a society, we are spoon-fed a daily diet full of bullshit, with a side of more bullshit, with a bullshit shake to wash it all down. We are told how we should feel, who is wrong, who is right, etc. We are told that to get the government deficit down we have two spend two trillion dollars this year. We are told that to bring the American soldiers home we have to send at least 30000 more away from home. We are told that global warming is man-made when we are actually in a period of global cooling. We are also told that government health care is the way to go. Go north and visit your Canadian neighbors: you’ll see the mess the government can make of health care. It’s true that Canada has universal health care, but the “universal” part is a bit misleading. Canada has people sitting in emergency rooms for hours and hours before they can be assessed. We have cancer patients who die waiting for treatment all the time. I know this because I lost a friend to breast cancer because she was not ill enough to get treatment right away. When it was too damn late, then she got all kinds of useless treatment. The Canadian public health care promotes waste: you got a cut? Go to the ER. You got the runs? Go to the ER. Headache? That counts as ER worthy for sure! The motto for Canadian health care is: “It’s free, so use it daily for $#%@ sake” So with Obama telling you health care needs fixing every minute of the day…he doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about. The insurance companies need more competition to drive their prices down, that’s all the fixing it needs. In Canada, health care is paid for by insane taxation…there is no secret formula. You want access to crappy health care and zombie doctors around the clock, be prepared to pay MORE taxes.

Without getting even more off-topic, I have to return to my main point. We have an American president who was elected presumably on the promises of ending two wars, bringing back responsible and accountable government, ending lobbyist influence in Washington, and a slew of others. No one has seen any of these promises come to fruition. The wars are larger and more expensive than before, the government is less accountable, there are record numbers of lobbyists going to Washington and the White House (the list of people visiting the president was posted on theHuffington post last month). He also promised the American people that unemployment would not rise above 8%. It is now over 10% (and only because more discouraged workers gave up looking for work last month). We also get our daily dose of “the recession is over” almost every day. This is being backed up by their claim that we will have a “jobless recovery”. What the hell does that mean anyway? As Gerald Celente puts it: “that’s like saying you are sort of pregnant”.

With that being said, look at the last three president. Presently, we have cool-guy Obama who should get an Oscar for acting most like a president without being one. Before him was a rich boy from the North who pretended to be a Texas rancher, who told us there were weapons of mass destruction, none of which have been found with 8 years of war and trillions of dollars. And before Bush Jr was ‘ol Billy J Clinton who “smoked but never inhaled” and who “did not have sexual relations” with half the women in Washington, who did not send hundreds to their death in Waco Texas, or massacred the people in Ruby Ridge. With that being said, I would like to ask the American people to ask Tiger woods to run for president in 2012 because the man has never sent anyone to their death. He has never run up government debt, he has never made phony promises, or any of the millions of horrible things politicians do daily.
