Tiger Woods blows 'em away with a good fart


After missing the cut in the British Open, Tiger Woods is back to true Tiger form with his third Buick Open win. The win is his 69th PGA Tour victory. He won by three strokes and literally "blew away" the competition by shooting 20 under for the match...and sealing the deal with a good fart! Rumor has it that Woods also farted when he won the Arnold Palmer invitational last March.

Have you ever noticed how much he eats while playing? A banana here, an apple there, and of course of lot of liquid to stay hydrated. All that fiber has to go somewhere. What better place to let one rip than on the 18th hole to seal the whole deal?

Woods had this to say while being interviewed after the win, “I’ve played all around the world, and I’ve never seen a day like this.” “This event has always been special, but today was something else.” It sure was Tiger... and everyone is still talking about it!

She did it again: Rachael Alexandra left the boys eating her dust


What a woman! 3-year-old filly Rachel Alexandra has beat the boys again at the 1.25 million Haskell Invitational, Monmouth Park in New Jersey. She was absolutely amazing. She has beaten the Kentucky Derby and Belmont stakes winners. What's next the Travers Stakes in hooty-tooty Saratoga?

Famous jockey Calvin Borel who rode Rachel in this race had this to say, "This filly is just unbelievable. I can't say how good she is"." I gave her a few taps at the 16th-pole, that's it. I just wanted to keep her focused with a couple of taps. She started looking around at the crowd, so I just wanted to keep her busy".

Borel rode Rachael Alexandra in the Preakness and she beat the fellows hands down. The filly has won 10 of 13 races. She recently races against other 3-year old fillies and won the Mother Goose and Oaks stakes by an impressive combined 39 1/2 lengths.

"We haven't reached the depth of her yet," co-owner Jess Jackson said. "She is just running to beat the competition, and I don't know if she will ever get to Secretariat's records."

Jackson purchased Rachel Alexandra after she won the Kentucky Oaks by 20 1-4 lengths on May 1, 2009 and said he wanted to run her against the boys. Now that she's beaten them twice, Jackson should be very pleased and may just may have the best filly - ever.

Rachel Alexandra joins Serena's Song as the only fillies to win the Haskell. The daughter of Medaglia d'Oro became the first filly in 85 years to win the Preakness when she beat Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird by one length.

Rachel Alexandra--you go girl and make them eat eat your dust!

Walter Cronkite: another icon has passed


Being the news junkie that I am, and growing up in a news junkie house, Walter Cronkite was like one of the family. Walter Cronkite WAS the news. He was the CBS anchor from 1962 thru 1981. I was there with him. I don't remember him covering the Kennedy assassination, because I was only six. But I remember watching the funeral--sitting mesmerized in front of our black and white TV--watching over and over and over again the horse drawn carriage and John John's salute.

I watched the Civil Rights marches, the Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy funerals, battles of the Vietnam war, Neil Armstrong landing on the moon, Watergate and countless other 'Breaking News' events all reported by the most 'trusted man in the US', Walter Cronkite.

I remember being a young adult and not having a Friday night date. The girls at work would ask what I was going to do after work. My response would be that I had a date with Walter. No one ever knew that my date was with Walter Cronkite and the CBS Evening News.

Heaven is really jumping now: Farrah has taken over all greeting and hospitality functions -- making sure that everyone is safe, happy and well cared for. Michael is singing and dancing up a storm. The whole joint's been jumping since he arrived. And now Walter is keeping everyone up to date and informed. And that's the way it is--July 17, 2009.

Kesha Ni' Cole Nichols left at the altar by NBA star



Former New Jersey Net dancer/cheerleader Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols was literally left standing at the altar this weekend by NBA star Richardson Jefferson.

The couple was to be married on Saturday July 11, 2009 at the posh Mandarin Oriental in New York, but Jefferson ended his relationship with Nichols the week before the wedding. Nichols notified friends and family of the breakup, but Jefferson kept quite about the breakup until the day of the wedding and called only 2 hours before the ceremony was to take place. ( Gee, how thoughtful of him)

Due to the late notice, some guest had already arrived for the $2 million affair. Rumor has it that to make up to his friends for the inconvenience, Jefferson gave his best friend his black AMEX card to pay for a fun-filled night on the town. How generous. It takes a lot of guts to call of a wedding. I hope he did the right thing for the right reasons...because what goes around comes around and payback is a b--ch!

Sarah Palin: from maverick to quitter


Sarah Palin once again has the media world buzzing. I'm not sure if that was her intent though. She hastily called a press conference, on a Friday afternoon, before a holiday weekend. Hmmm. If the plan was for no one to notice - it back fired.

We all know that Sarah isn't the most articulate speaker, but I found it extremely hard to follow what the heck she was trying to say. I got the bottom line - she is not going to run for re-election and she is quitting - I mean - resigning her post at the end of this month.

Everything else was typical Palin fashion, words coming out of her mouth, that don't make much sense. She has 18 months left, why quit? I got the impression she felt she was doing Alaska a favor by not sticking around because she would be a lame duck. Well, I think she's doing them a favor, but not for that reason.

What about the people that elected her? The people that she always mentioned that she was so fiercely fighting for? I wonder how they feel. I would be pissed. She never really gave a reason why. She talked in circles and gave basketball analogies about a good point guard keeping her eye on the ball and passing off to win the game. I like and understand basketball, but without knowing what she plans to do, it made no sense.

She did say her family was in favor of the decision. Of course they would be, taking care of a family and being governor is not an easy job. How much time did she actually get to spend with her family? Duhh. Holding a political office is nothing to sneeze at. What would have happened if she was the Vice president?? 'Gee...things aren't what we thought they would be, I'm taking my family and moving back to Alaska'.

Well, maybe if McCain won, it would be different. Who knows. But I do know that self-proclaimed mavericks shouldn't be quitters - it's not good for the rep. If her plan is to position herself for 2012, she better have a plan B, because even though she has small portion of America under her spell, Americans generally don't like quitters.
