Well ACL, Tim McDonald, it seems you may have finally gotten it right in your denouncements of Tiger Woods. A less than perfect left knee + a loss of confidence= no more majors for Mr. Woods!! Oh, but wait Tim...isn't Tiger Woods the same supremely confident young man who, on a left knee with a torn ACL and a double stress fracture endured 91 holes of pain to win the 2008 U.S. Open? Wow!! That took a lot os confidence, patience, and skill...didn't it? But, as usual, you're always right!!

BV [Visitor] - please note that I am over 60 years old and quite happy with the Medical Insurance system in Canada. Have also had a child who had leukemia when he was 11 years old and is thankfully still alive now in his 20s due to excellent medical care received, and I did not have to sell my house (now paid for without interest rate being tax deductible) to get him excellent medical care. Do not believe all the nonsense you hear about the medical care in Canada. A few of the very rich do travel to the US to pay out of their pockets, but all Canadians have at least basic coverage for a minimal deduction. Again, do not believe all you are told about the medical system in Canada. You are being sold down the drain by companies who want to make money off your illnesses.

Tim
I find some of your analysis amusing. Why? Because even though Tiger has not played since the US Open, he still is second on the US PGA Tour money list playing six tournaments only. Some golfers did step up to the plate (i.e. most notably VJ Singh, Kenny Perry, AK, Camilio V. and Padraig -although aside from the two majors, he is struggling a bit) but none consistently. So they have almost given Tiger time to regroup and be back to challenge them in mid-February 2009 possibly. At least Tiger seems to be following his surgeons' orders because he wants to play competitively for at least another FIVE years so his kids (Sam and the soon-to-be little Tiger/Tigress) can witness him winning a few more tournaments. If that is not enough MOTIVATION for Tiger, nothing else will. I might be one of the few that will not be counting Tiger out - don't forget that until he is 65 he can still play in the British Open and the Masters. I do believe he should be able to win a few more of those if he focuses intently on those two tournaments. God willing, he will return to competitive golf at least 50 to 75% healed.

Anyone who DOESN'T think the upcoming election, and its "predicted" results, won't cause a major upheaval in the social systems of this country is willfully ignoring the facts (oh, that's right, they're call Democrats).

Alex,

Yes, many people would consider it nutty to entertain such a possibility, but they have been lulled into a false sense of security. The truth is that we're at a precipice and may in the not-too-distant future see a confluence of a number of very negative factors.

As to this, you mentioned one that is understood by relatively few: the cutting of our money. The world's financial system is based on fiat currency, and that is a chicken that will really come home to roost.

As for bailing everyone out, as Herbert Spencer once said, "The result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to create a nation of fools."

Judge Smails et all,

Since this blog has somehow morphed into politics, I'll throw in my few cents worth.

Judge, your prediction of impending calamities and social upheaval is not as far-fetched as many of our liberal friends would like to believe.

Consider these facts: The USA is the only nation with the capability and the will to confront the worldwide threat of militant Islam. If either our capability or our will is compromised, the Islamic radicals will be emboldened, and the attacks on the USA and the rest of the West will like increase exponentially.

Withdrawing unilaterally from Iraq and Afghanistan, which is exactly what the liberals in this country want,would accomplish the demoralization of our Armed Forces and leave our nation a sitting duck for Islamist attacks.

Another catastrophic course of action is the clamor for bailing out of the financial markets, relieving deadbeats from the obligations of honoring contractual obligations with regard to mortgages, etc.

Printing more "funny money", which is precisely what this would mean, will only exacerbate the situation.

But these things seemed destined to come about, if the candidates are serious in their pronouncements.

As far as Woods beating Jack's majors record, wasn't it just a few months ago that several posters here were confidently predicting that Tiger--and also Lorena--would win the grand slam in 2008? Didn't happen, did it.

My advice is that when Woods gets to the winners' circle after 18 majors, and he needs one more for the record,that then would be the time to get excited about the record.

Judge - you're right! There probably won't be enough majors actually played for Tigger to break Jack's record. I never even thought of that obvious real world future ahead of us.
