Actually, I'm stunned. Perhaps people aren't aware of Feherty's rather strange sense of humor. But, to my eyes, he's clearly kidding - and I think it's funny - and true.
Feherty is wicked funny.
We saw him at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am this past February (actually for the last 7 or 8 Februarys) and we were highly impressed when he came over to the rope line just a few feet from where we standing to shake hands with a couple of Air Force officers (I'm assuming they were officers based on their uniforms) and thanked them for their service.
A side note, he had just got done interviewing the guy who played President Palmer on "24" who also came over to shake the officers' hands and after shaking the second officer's hand he turned back to the first and said, "You look familiar. I think we've met before."
To which the officer replied, "Yes, sir. You came and visited us at (some city) in Iraq last year."
President Palmer said, "Oh, yes. That was the (whatever military detachment) base. We enjoyed our visit" (or words to that effect).
I wrote David Feherty an e-mail of support in which I reminded him of that encounter and thanked him for being such an ardent supporter of our troops.
If you want to send him an e-mail of support (Lord knows he's going to need them) you can contact him at

I know he wrote the article for D Magazine but I didn't see an e-mail address for him at that website.
