Fool Me 15 Times...

Well, the good news is that congressman Tom DeLay is resigning. Don't let the door hit you on the way out buddy...

The bad news is that it has been just over a week since this story broke about our president's latest duplicity, and the public has seemingly forgotten about it. Have we simply become so numb to this man's lies that they no longer have an effect on us? THIS IS PROOF THAT BUSH WAS GOING TO GO TO WAR NO MATTER WHAT, AND HE LIED FREQUENTLY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT IT.

Clinton was impeached for lying about a blowjob. Way to go. Huge breach of trust there. A lot of Americans died as a result of that lie... Many people may not know this, but actually over 2000 more Americans have lost their lives as a result of Bush's lies about Iraq than as a result of "Lewinskygate."

Crazy, I know...

Fore!!! Ok, maybe five or six...

Mark Twain once said "Golf is a good walk ruined." Clearly he wasn't drinking...

I have gone golfing a good eight or nine times in my life, and I am terrible at it. Last weekend I went with three friends of mine, shot around a 115, and couldn't have had a better time doing it. There is a certain "back to the roots of manhood" feeling that comes with trekking around a golf course with nothing but a set of clubs and a case of National Bohemian (for those of you on the west coast unfamiliar with this particular beer, think Pabst Blue Ribbon and go down a step in quality). Beyond this, there is a catharsis that occurs when you hit that perfect ball and think 'Tiger Woods couldn't have done it any better.' Though this only usually happens to me once or twice per 18 holes, it makes the whole trip worthwhile.

Who needs therapy? All I need is a driver, a designated driver, a ball, and a round at the local public golf course.
