Lay off Tiger - he's a victim!

Or at least that is what he told us in his transgressions** statement. If it was not for the media always looking at his personal life this would all have blown over.

He says: But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.

When a person makes a billion dollars with endorsements and wins the Masters but then cheats on his wife not once but multiple times over years . . . yea blames the media? I think that if you are Tiger Woods you know that if you get caught a press release will be required.

But the sad thing is that this will actually boost his career (like it needed boosting). You watch, next year golf ratings in tournaments he is playing will have a record number of viewers as he turns 2010 into redemption year.

sigh!

** - when was the last time you heard the word transgressions so many times in one day.

** from yesterday - because I received a couple emails about the ** that I did not explain when I had to make up a cover story . . . . .

a long long long long time ago my buddy Elweed and I were out driving around in the country and we needed to pull over for some reason. Like a good driver that I am I pulled over and put my blinkers on and Elweed proceeded to do what he had to with a pipe.

Well, a cop car pulls up behind us and an officer walks up to my door. We sit there as he shines his flash light into the car and asks

" You boys having a problem?"

I say "no, we're all good". silence . . . .

"May I ask what you are doing?" he says . . . silence . . .

"I'm checking my speedometer." I say l o n g silence as he lights up the speedometer . . . . .

"how that going" he asks

I look at the speedometer and I tell him that it "seems correct sir". silence . . . . . .

"OK then, you boys be careful" and he walks off.

There - it's out - no need for a press release.

On a brighter note, some of you may know that a good friend of mine has been sick for like 6 seeks. Adubya has seen the Doctor multiple times and from what I have heard, has the worst sore throat in the history of mankind.

So what does he do? He goes to the Duke / Wisconsin game but promises to not do any yelling. Andy - how did that work out for you! LOL. I've always said that when you have been sick for 6 weeks the best thing to do is surround yourself with 10,000 college students!

With that said - if you are reading this adubya, I really do hope you get better before golf season when I might have to be near you!

May I introduce Andy Lindgren DJ Extraordinaire

Yet another CON-vert to my style of photo mechanics. You would not believe how dark it was when I took this.

Hey - if you have not seen my site lately check out the newer and improved Melotte Photo Imagery site. Still working on colors and so forth but it's now live.

That photo above - notice how much color there is. Ever watch that show on Wednesday, The Middle? That show is very very colorful, almost like a Cat In The Hat show. I love watching the color of programs, they put a lot of thought into look and feel in all shows, The Middle just has a ton of color.

The human race is doomed.

Real labels on some items.

Frito's - You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)

On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.

Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."

On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5 year-olds with head-colds off those bulldozers.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."

On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only."

On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts."

On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."

On a subject that is near and dear to my heart. On this date in 1947 the first Television Station in Wisconsin was established. WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee was the 1st in the Midwest and 17th in the Nation.

In 1979 a stampede in Cincinnati at a Who concert killed 11 people and really made for a downer WKRP in Cincinatti comedy. The Who will perform at the Super Bowl this year. I'm not sure all the old people rushing the stage (including me) will have that much power to cause any injuries. I saw The Who once. I think besides Pink Floyd (6 times) they are the biggest rock group I have seen. . . . Meatloaf was pretty big but I never saw him.

WHO LET ILLINOIS IN!

In 1818 Illinois became the 21st State. WOW, who was in charge. Actually the funny part is that the pioneers had no clue what to think about Illinois as they had never seen anything like it's total blandness. The vast prairies were lacking trees and no trees meant inferior farmland.

Snow is coming - couple inches for Columbus tonight! Slippery on the way home I suspect! Drive carefully!
