Tiger: Likely Bankrupted

Well, looks like this about wraps it up for Tiger Woods:

An Orange County Utilities manager told the Sentinel today his agency likely will bill the golfer about $600 for the expenses related to repairing the fire hydrant the pro-golfer struck.

It cost about $85 to pick up the damaged hydrant. And now there’s a work-order with the county for about $450 to repair and replace the hydrant.

No doubt Tiger will be too busy working double night-shifts at Winchell’s and/or take to driving a gypsy cab in vain hope of paying off these unbelievable debts. Thank you, Orlando Sentinel, for this sort of incisive, hard-hitting reportage. Truly a service to the Western World.

And, before you start feeling sorry for Tiger, get ready to feel really sorry for Tiger:

And eventually, the county will need to replace the sod around the hydrant.

Will it never end? Will we never let this poor man up? Hasn’t he suffered enough!?! I guess not, as the putative other-lady has this to say:

Although I’ve been romantically linked to a famous baseball player, a Broadway star, a musician, and various film and television actors, I will never kiss and tell

You stay classy, Orlando Sentinel.

Memo to Joementum and all his friends: Doing nothing will do harm. It will add to the deficit, and, according to this latest bit from the CBO analysis, it will cost families and individuals money, no matter what bracket they are inhabiting. Oh, and doing nothing leaves ~30 MILLION PEOPLE uncovered that would, in fact, get health coverage under the Senate plan. Those people need to shape up and go die in the streets like good American Citizens.

But, by all means, let’s play pretend that doing nothing is not only a viable option, but the only sane option. And media: let’s continue to let people say shit like this without challenge of any sort. To ask if they have any sane reasoning behind their obstructionism just wouldn’t be polite.
