Tiger's Wood

       The best thing about the Tiger Wood’s hoo-ha is that it was revealed today that John Zeigler, pastor and founder of the founder of the The First Church of Tiger Woods is disbanding it because his hero has proven to be a human being with a tireless putter.

       God, I love crazy people, as long as they’re not in the same room as I am.

       This is far and away the most interesting thing about the Tiger Woods saga. The infidelity isn’t interesting. The only surprising thing about infidelity is that people are are always surprised by it. The only surprising thing about this infidelity is that a man that rich doesn’t know enough to get a second cell phone specifically for his assignations and billed to another name, or some other strategic move that any dummy with a blog could think up.

       This isn’t to excuse the breach of promise, but maybe it’s a promise too many make too rashly when clearly it’s not an easy one to keep. And our culture expects you to keep it unlike in, say, France, marital fidelity seems more of a suggestion than an expectation and they have fewer heart attacks .       
       Then there’s the red-handed confession, which, to me, is the most awful part of the whole thing. Those we see giving the media the ol' mea culpa are always terribly sorry…when they get caught. Two days before, when everything was under their control, how sorry do you think they were? Sorry enough to hook up with the next receptive partner?

       “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women are merely players,” Shakespeare said and it just makes you wonder how many acts of theater you are witness to in a day when you think people are just talking. I know for the sake of convention that no one can say “I’m sorry I got caught. I had quite a racket going before then,” or “I can’t so "I do," because I know ‘I won’t,” refreshingly truthful as that might be. Heaven forbid. The show must go on.
