Free green fees can get you in trouble -- National Golf Foundation drawn into nasty politics

Who would think the World Golf Foundation could be drawn into political nastiness? It’s a staid golf organization.

But, a top Department of Justice official, J. Robert Flores, is under a Congressional investigation for awarding $500,000 in a federal grant to fight juvenile crime, even though Flores’ staff recommended against it, according to ABC News.

Why? Investigators noticed Flores played a free round of golf at the Slammer and Squire golf course in St. Augustine in February, 2006.

Wait just a minute, Flores said. He DID pay for it. Yesterday, 24 hours before his scheduled testimony to Congress.

If I’m ever subjected to Congressional scrutiny, I’m in big trouble.

*sly smile* Well, Timmy Mac - I don't think you need to worry about Congress haling you before their bar...you pretty much have to BE someone for that to happen!

PS: RonMon, check out the correct use and spelling of the word 'haling'! See, there's no real NEED to 'go alternative' on the English language...you just need to learn to USE it properly! ;)

Your Lassie metaphor is appropriate.

I doubt you know what a metaphor is, so I'll spell it out: You're dog-like.

I'm not saying you're a dog, I'm saying your dog-like.

Here, I'm speaking of cognitive functions.

*rotflmao* Timmie Mac - you need to HAVE 'cognitive functions' before you can SPEAK of them!
