Tiger Woods is going to play on the U.S. Ryder Cup team. His sixth Ryder. The first in which he was chosen as a captain's pick. The three other captains picks are Zach Johnson, Stewart Cink and Rickie Fowler.

Mr. Woods had an off year, but he remains the number one ranked golfer in the world, because no one has been able to replace him at the top. See the video.

Chicago's Mayor Richard M. Daley, has announced that it 's time for the curtain call. Next year, the act will close and Chicago will have to get along with a Daley. After six terms, a seventh is not to be. Though the mayor was down in the polls, only 37% thought he was doing a good job, that was no political reason for him to quit. He had no political challenger. He was the city boss who managed his rivals so well that none chose to oppose him.

Rumor says that he's stepping down because his wife is ill, and after what will be twenty plus years in one-job, maybe he really does want to move on and try something different.

No Parole for John Lennon's Killer

John LennonJohn LennonJohn Lennon's killer was again denied parole in New York, yesterday, Tuesday, he has served nearly 30 years for assassinating John Lennon, the ex-Beatle, outside John Lennon's New York City apartment building in December of 1980. See the video.

John Lennon is an international pop music icon. He was assassinated, because, during his life, he was an international pop music icon. His death wasn't a crime of passion, wasn't the result of some accident in the heat of the moment, didn't happened because of some other criminal act, wasn't done for money, for political or for religious reasons, or even for random reckless amusement, was done deliberately, because he was John Lennon.

A completely innocent man is deliberately gunned down and his murderer expects parole? An icon of a generation is cut down and his killer expects to be let out of jail?

Where are all the vegetarians?

As popular as the “vegetarian lifestyle,” as it’s often called, is becoming, and as important as a sustainable world is for us to attain for our own very survival, you would think that there would be several vegetarian cooking shows. Not only that, but that all of the mainstream shows would also start offering up more ways to eat locally, with a smaller eco footprint, and definitely meatlessly—at least on several episodes a week.

Angelina Jolie, in her role as a United Nation's Goodwill Ambassador, visited the flood areas of Pakistan, yesterday, Tuesday. The UN hopes that Ms. Jolie will draw attention to long-term needs of flood-hit victims in Pakistan, and will help spur the international community to continue to send aid to that country.

France 24News reports that "The floods that hit Pakistan at the end of July have caused the worst natural disaster in the countries history. They continue to blanket a fifth of the country and and mass homelessness, disease and potential short term food shortages are still major causes for concern." See the videos.

Spreading goodwill is something that Ms. Jolie does well . She has a history of helping out, of going into areas of natural disasters, where the people need the aid of the international community , and of pitching in, giving her time, her talent and her money.

Westboro Baptist Church Brings Hate to My Community

Submitted by sarajean on 9/8/10 3:22am

The heinous Westboro Baptist Church is planning on coming to my neck of the woods this weekend to “protest” the death of a young soldier, not 30 minutes from where I live. He went to one of my high school’s most fervent rival schools, lived in the town my husband grew up in, and died serving our country—doing his job—at much too young an age.

Now the “God Hates Fags” church is going to go make a mockery of his memorial service.

Condemning this anti-Muslim frenzy

Inter-Faith LeadersInter-Faith LeadersOne guy, a pastor of a 50-member congregation in Florida, plans to burn copies of the Quran on the ninth anniversary of 9/11. His actions will disgrace the memory of those whom died on September 11, and as Gen. David Petraeus warned, could put American military lives in danger and empower extremists. Also, it could cause al-Qaida jackasses to attack innocent Christians. This sickening wave of Islamophobia in America could weaken the bonds of civilization.

Special Guest Horoscopes: Saffron Lilypad

Submitted by msarko on 9/8/10 1:43am

The stars don't need trained professionals to read them. Fate has been moving since before humans appeared in this world and it will work its wonders after we've gone. That's why we like to invite new people to our humble blog to read the weekly horoscopes from a fresh perspective.

We've known Miss Saffron Lilypad (Saffi to her friends) for several years now. Every two weeks since April 2006 she has delivered a box of fresh produce, flowers and sometimes woodland creatures to our office from her home garden. Saffi is a certified organic professional and granola magically appears wherever she walks. We've been begging her to read the horoscopes for us for a long time now and she has only now decided to indulge us.

Dean and GOP silence

Submitted by dfunzy on 9/8/10 1:38am

Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor, former chairman of the Democratic Party, pointed out yesterday, Tuesday, evening that the GOP is silent about that nut in Florida who wants to burn the Quran.  See the video.

It does seems as if GOP-Tea Party activists have issued a talking paper to GOP politicians, instructing them that being anti-Muslim bigots will get them votes, and so no GOP-Tea Partier should say or do anything to make the GOP seem less friendly to bigots.
