I have known for years that Tiger is an arrogant...

obnoxious dirtbag. I used to like the PGA Tour until people who worship his ass started watching and following golf only to see him (many admit that if he's not playing in a given tournament, they don't watch it). They have turned me off golf and I very rarely watch it anymore.

I'd be willing to bet most of them couldn't name another single golfer on the Tour. I don't think it's an accident that he is associating with Trump. Birds of a feather, and all that.

Strong enough to defeat ISIL?

Want to hear a joke?

Maybe he meant to say...

"I would like to be like a smart person."

So, how soon before The Orange Imbecile gets us in a war?

I give it 90 days, tops, and that might be optimistic.

It's sad, and I don't hold out much hope that

the electors will do the right thing.

Amazing that people on Twitter are referring to Twitter's

suspension of the @jew_goldstein account as being "anti-Semitic."

Something that bewilders me--although, by now, I guess it shouldn't.

How on earth do people get the impression that they're well informed on national/international events if they watch Fox "News"? An example. Today, I was watching the news on one of my local TV stations. The station did a report about the Russian hacking situation and my curiosity got the better of me, so I briefly switched to "Fox & Fiends" (not something I'm given to doing much) to see if they were talking about the hacking and, if so, how they were spinning it. Instead, they had Brian Kilmeade sputtering about a video that celebrities made encouraging the electors to vote for Clinton.

Next, I switched to "The Bill Press Show" and saw a discussion about Trump's conflict of interest issues. Back to the fiends and they're talking about an issue of great concern to all Americans (wait for it, wait for it)...ugly Christmas sweaters!

It's astonishing to me how people can watch this kind of stuff and think they're getting the straight story on anything. Still, millions do.
