Crash bad for Tiger Woods, good for John Gribbin

Recent revelations about Tiger Woods playdates have exploded his wholesome image in a Big Bang louder than the sound of an Esclade hitting a fire hydrant and tree.

But it also has given a sales boost to "Get a Grip on Physics" by science writer John Gribbin. Photos released by the Florida Highway Patrol show the book in Woods' mangled car, amid shards of glass. That has been enough to lift the book to the 2,268th position on the Amazon sales list, up from 396,224th the previous day.

The customer reviews on Amazon are hilarious.

And further evidence that good can come out of evil, at least for John Gribbin and the education of the general public on physics.

This is worse than Michael Jackson! Never enough. BO must be lovin’ this coverage. Takes the limelight away from “Climategate”, “Obamacare”, stimulous package not being spent...yet. If Obama’s policies were popular in any way,(or had the possibility of being popular) the Tiger story would be dead and BO’s marxist BS would be front page.

Here's how tiger gets out of the scandal: he has a press conference with Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and all the other race baiters, and declares the attacks on him are racist, while also strongly promoting O’s healthcare, global warming and other agendas. All is forgiven, which will be a shame, because I always admired his refusal to get involved in this kind of political grandstanding.
