Now that his divorce is final, Tiger Woods' golf game is starting to improve. I guess he just needed some financial incentive.

Or maybe it was just that 100 million dollars weighing him down.

In spite of all evidence to the contrary, Rush Limbaugh is still saying the President is a foreign-born Muslim. I guess as a fat, thrice-divorced drug-addict, he's used to ignoring the truth.

My mother used to talk to our animals. She and the cats, especially, would have these conversations where they'd complain about us kids:
"We're so hungry," Mom would say in her falsetto cat-voice. "Why haven't the girls fed us?"
Then she'd answer:
"I don't know, Kitties. They promised they'd take care of you, but I guess they just forgot."

It was the kind of sneaky, passive-aggressive thing that I hated when I was a kid. I mean, if the cats had a problem, why didn't they just come to us?
**********
And it didn't matter if the animal was appealing or not: Mom knew what it was thinking. I remember one day, I got so fed up. Mom was telling me that a spider in our yard had given her a dirty look, and I knew I had to try and put a stop to it.

"Mom," I said. "You shouldn't anthropomorphize spiders. They hate that!"

Back in Black

I was reading news headlines on the Internet today. A Massachusetts man was rushed to the hospital, complaining of breathing problems, only to find that there was a half-inch pea plant growing in his lung. The next headline was from the Chicago Tribune. It said, Health Tip: Chew Your Food. I thought, "Too bad they didn't run that in the Boston Herald."

Once again, Fox has fallen for a fake news story - this one about a woman named "Jenny" who took revenge on her boss by posting a series of unflattering whiteboard comments on YouTube. I think Fox News needs to update its slogan to "Not Good - Just Fair."
