Weekend Post- Tiger Woods


I don't know about anyone else, but I was quite surprised by the apology, since I don't recall having ever married Tiger. For a brief moment, I was downright ecstatic, thinking of all the ways I might spend a chunk of that reported $30 million per month my -- husband? -- brings in.
Then I realized what was actually going on.For some reason, The World's Greatest Golfer believes that he owed fans and media an apology for stepping out on his wife a time or 13. I have no idea why. i believe tiger wasnt as truthful as he said many girls was saying they wanted an apology but they want an apology or money? This was one of the women voices who stayed anonymos she is said for owning an apology. click here for more

Tazer in Action

It must be a new high school initiative because the tasers were doing some big time zapping recently at a high school basketball game. When you watch this video you get the feeling that this won't be the last time you'll be reading about this. Just from that clip you can see how people might lose their jobs after this incident. Unless someone was packing heat, was there really a need for all of the harassment, intimidation, yelling, pushing, shoving and worst of all tasering? It's not like a coach whipped a ball at a player's head or someone head-butted a person. A Boy Mario has been a victim and he was tazed and he is a kid he wanted to get his sister. His family did press charges because if he was going out of fear for his sister and he had to find his sister then that school has alot of thinking to do. When you think of taser you think of shock. tazer is an electroshock weapon that uses electrical current to disrupt voluntary control of muscles of the human body. here is the link by clicking this or this.
