How Woods story is playing in Sweden
San Francisco Chronicle. ^ | December 9, 2009 | Annika Toernqvi

"Famous people don't get helped by fat bank accounts, beauty or power when humiliation becomes reality. But there is a big difference in how Swedish Elin reacted when it was obvious her husband had cheated on her. While Hilary and Posh Spice chose to stay quiet, starved themselves or become feminist doormats, the golf wife chose another path. Elin Nordegren stood with both feet solid on the ground and realized this wasn't her shame, but Tiger's. She refused to be treated like garbage. And that, my friends, make me thank God for girls like Elin. Hallelujah! ... I will finish by quoting Jesper Parnevik: 'I hope she uses a driver instead next time.' "

Do not know why Jesper would want her to use a driver. Yeah, they are good for hitting a golf ball, but the sand wedge is the club to use for doing some real damage.

I'd use a good steel bunker rake myself.

Elin's new house. she saw it last year and bought it last week. Formerly the home of a wealthy footballer who craved privacy. On an island accessible only by ferryboat:

sometimes they don’t. Even if the reason is good, you still don’t get to attack your spouse because you are mad at them.

Got to love it. And it’s only in her name. (Hope she doesn’t let Tiger contaminate it.)

I hadn’t thought of that; imagine it did.

Try watching ESPN for the past two days... every 15 minutes, they’re playing the 911 call for his mother-in-law’s fainting spell (and possible heart attack). She’s 57, not an athlete, and the 911 call is utterly uninteresting. (”Oh. She’s okay.”) This has nothing to do with sports, it most likely has nothing to do with Woods’ “transgressions”, and is merely an excuse to talk about it, without talking about it, 4-5 times every hour. Zzzzzzz!

“Guess I must be getting old or not with it, as I am more interested in Climategate, O’Bozzo’s Death Care, the EPA’s usurping power and control over all aspects of Industry, etc., etc., etc.”

the above you mention are real ‘news’ in the sense that they are external events that can and will (negatively) impact all of us. The media as a rule knows better than to get the tax serfs riled up over anything of substance, though.

I know exactly what you mean. I’ve tried to “care less”, but just couldn’t!
