Tiger Woods has left the Building - Withdraws from Cadillac Championship

Tiger Woods quit the Cadillac Championship in Miami today. What is ailing Tiger?

Tiger Woods made it to the 11th hole in a match that wasn't really going his way on Sunday in the final round of the Cadillac championship.  This would be the second time Tiger Woods has had to withdraw in the middle of a golf match. In May of 2011he withdrew after 9 holes in the in the Players Championship.

 Tiger Woods claimed that his injured left knee was in tip top shape so his abrupt withdrawl left commentators wondering what could had led to his withdrawl. He was seen changing shoes and there are some reports that he was limping at the 10th and 11th hole, but twas his injury serious enough to abandon the match?

After his last withdrawl from the Players championship in May, Tiger needed 4 months to recover from his knee injury. He still has to play the Bay Hill in two weeks and then off to the Masters so the question is, will he recover in time? One will have to assume that Tiger Woods was really seriously injured to withdraw from the Cadillac championship or he took preventative measures to protect his knee from further injuries in light of the up coming Masters. Only tiger knows.

A Blow to the Women's Movement - The Rush Limbaugh Tirade

Rush Limbaugh's "Slut" and "prostitute" comment is and attack on all women, one that  demeans and diminishes the women's right movement. 
The women's movement has taken a serious blow with Rush Limbaugh crazed triade against Sandra Fluke who he called a "slut" and a "prostitute" Why are women still being called names like slut, prostitute, bitch for wanting the same freedom that men already have; for wanting the same medical care and respect given to their male counterparts?

It would appear that some menjust don't get it; men who are products of a woman's sexuality; men who were bred as a result of the same sexuality activity women are decried for. Women are being critized today for using birth control or wanting the insurance company to pay for it. It is viewed by the conservative mainly Republican male as an encouragement for women to have lots of sex according to Rush Limbaugh.

Birth control does more than prevent unwanted pregnancies; birth control prevents a number of cancers and illnesses in women saving millions in health care costs. But as long as women continue to be seen as mere chattels, lesser species of animals or sex crazed "sluts" the women's movement can never move forward.
　

The All White Cast of Smash

 Smash the new TV music show has an an all white main cast. Other ethnic groups have been excluded from the full 15 episodes and are given token apppearances in a few episodes.

Yes it is the 21st century but not much has changed in TV land. The new music show SMASH is visibly lacking ethnic diversity in the main character cast. A closer look reveals that there are a few members of "other than mainstream ethnic groups" but they are limited to between 2 and 6 episodes and are excluded from the full 15 episodes. I often wonder what goes into the thinking and selection process for these shows.

No one can claim that there are no qualified blacks, latinos and other ethnic groups that can anchor the SMASH show. Isn't it about time that the mainstream media stop using their wealth and power to openly discriminate against other Americans based on ethnicity? Of course I will never watch the show SMASH because I think it is high time that the US media and entertainment industry start accepting the fact that America is made up of a variety of ethnic groups who deserve a chance to participate as equals in the entertainment industry rather than as tokens.
