Masterful Easter Sunday

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson put on a Easter Sunday show on the front nine as they both came from 7 shots behind to flirt with the top of the leader board. Ultimately however, both fell short, missing several opportunities on the back nine.

Then it appeared as though Kenny Perry would became the oldest player ever to win the Masters. But after a masterful tee shot on 16 put Perry up by two with three to play, he bogied 17 and 18 to come back to the field.

Instead it was Argentinian Angel Cabrera who would outlast Perry in a two hole sudden death playoff to win his first green jacket.

Cabrera found a way to par 18 despite a tee shot in the trees and earned a tie with Perry and Chad Campbell to enter sudden death.

Cabrera becomes the first Argentinian to become Masters' champion, avenging a loss by Roberto DiVincenzo in 1968 when he handed in an incorrect score card and lost by one stroke.

It's Your Country too, Mr. President

Charles Krauthammer on Obama's G-20 summit.

Our president came bearing a basketful of mea culpas. With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own people for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness, for genocide, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantanamo and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world.

What Obama and his supporters believe is that America has something to feel guilty about. They don't believe we have been the inspiration and envy of the world for over 2 centuries.

While he should be the biggest cheerleader for the country, Obama insists on being its biggest critic. And what does it give him? A cold shoulder, perhaps even a mocking laugh behind his back.

No wonder he feels compelled to bow before other leaders; he's willing to be their pawn.

We Are...Lame State

I'm more than a bit disappointed with my Alma Mater. It seems Penn State's human resource department has a neat little box, a label one might say, for those individuals who serve in the military.

This video, courtesy of Hot Air, is one in a series where professors are trained on how to deal with several disturbing incidents in the classroom.



First. Isn't it amazing a video such as this is needed to teach those brilliant professors how to cope with troubled students? It reminds me of those training videos companies have produced to inform trainees about dealing with unruly customers or conflict in the workplace.

Second. It's sad to see how these elite, holier-than-thou, and brilliant (in their own mind) individuals view those soldiers who guarantee their right to have such a condescending and ignorant view.

We Are...Lame State.

Obama Refuses TARP Givebacks

Stuart Varney of the Wall Street Journal argues that the President isn't interested in banks succeeding, he wants to control them. President Obama is refusing to take back over $340 million from 4 small banks. These banks see what happened to GM's CEO and don't want the same thing to happen to them.

Obama already controls the US Automakers, wants to control the health care industry, and is stripping power from the military.

His militant friends in ACORN organized protests at the homes of Philadelphia Eagle owner Jeff Lurie because of $8 million in unpaid Skybox revenue due the City, and AIG executives who got bonuses their contracts allowed them to have. I don't suppose this manufactured chaos is an accident is it?

Obama is getting exactly the kind of change he wants, a little bit of chaos and a whole lot of control.
