Socialism - Liberalism Quotation
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened." – Norman Thomas
The early reports that Elin was positioning for a $750 million divorce settlement were spot-on. Elin is divorcing Tiger Woods, and he is banned from bringing skanky or non-skanky women around her children. Watch for updates.
Elin Nordgren Woods
This report says she has "sole physical custody" but they will split legal custody of their two children. There will be no women around her children until and unless Tiger marries, and in her lifetime or his, she cannot speak of the girlfriends and her ex's repugnant behavior - no interviews, no books, no TV appearances at anytime, even if Tiger meets his demise first.
I'm betting Tiger will be back with Rachel Uchitel before his next tee time.
One source says Tiger and Elin Woods have both hired divorce attorneys and have had no contact since shortly after the Tiger-prowl was interrupted with his Thanksgiving Friday-night SUV accident in front of his own house. The latest report has him on his home community golf course with a blonde Elin-look-alike, sharing his golf cart and and his chat. Is he dating? The answer isn't clear, but the father of two is reportedly back on the local club scene, without his wife. Source.
A spectator on the grounds of the August National watching practice rounds was approached by one of Tiger's 90+ bodyguards and accused of being porn star Joslyn James.
Joslyn James
The guard, working from a photograph of the huge breasted, dead-beat mom, Joslyn James aka Veronica Swik-Daniels, asked the unnamed woman:
"Excuse me, ma'am - are you the stripper?" The fan was left speechless until the guard realized his gaffe and apologized.
The spectator said she didn't know whether to be flattered or insulted. I think I'd sue.
In the video below, Gloria Allred, holding the hand of Joslyn James, says Tiger "he must call her, better yet meet with her...." Allred leans close, gazes into Joslyn's eyes. What is going on here? The broach-encrusted Allred has more than entered the theatre of the absurd. Here is another opportunity to watch Joslyn James, aka Veronica Swik-Daniels, the dead-beat mom, cry over Tiger Woods.
Former porn star Joslyn James asks Tiger for face-to-face meeting.
One of the more disgusting of Tiger's women, Joslyn James, teases that she may show up at The Masters championship this weekend, and she would love to entertain you at The Pink Pony strip joint, about 50 miles away from the tournament. Will she also be talking?
James' attorney, Gloria Allred, is having a lot of fun representing Joslyn, whose real name is Veronica-Swik-Daniels:
Now Aldred is suggesting that Joslyn James could be headed to Augusta, Ga to watch the golfer and confront him. Can you imagine her standing at the 18th green on Sunday and screaming "I love you Tiger" in the middle of his back swing as he misses a crucial putt to lose the Masters. Now that would be funny!
The Pink Pony plans to make a gazillion dollars on this one. Check the links below for more about Joslyn James and Tiger, and don't miss reports that this stripper is also a dead-beat Mom. This is just my opinion, but I don't think she has a prayer of making it into the gallery at Augusta.
Joselyn James has allegedly told Geraldo Rivera's brother, Craig, that she intends to be in the gallery at the Masters. Yikes! She obviously knows a lot of people, and perhaps can arrange the entry, but I can't imagine Joslyn James in that place of old money, pristine greens and breath-taking azaleas. Augusta National doesn't conjure up images of dead-beat-mom porn stars. I think she ruined her chances by speaking out. Security will be on this obnoxious woman with all the intensity of Obama hawking health care.
Tiger and Elin Woods
James also claims that Tiger's caddy, Steve Williams knew about her, although Williams denies it.
Reports are around that Elin Woods, Tiger's wife, repeatedly said to him: "you slept with a porn star.' Now how would someone know this? I mean, I'm sure she did say it, but I doubt that her friends or family would quote her. If you want to make something up and spin it as a unnamed source, this one is a good bet.
Tiger talks today, with small distractions like America battling Democrat health care, which passed tonight. He won't answer the question about how the accident happened. He is "so sorrowful" for what he has done. "I've hurt so many people." He says treatment/therapy was "tough." He got away from his Buddhism. He had quit meditating. He said he felt entitled, and had gotten away from his values. He says just because he is back on the golf course, doesn't mean he has stopped going to therapy, but he will not say what kind of therapy he is in. He is hoping for some smiles and claps from his fans at the Masters.
Tiger Woods
The low point: Just when I thought I couldn't get lower, I got lower. People I had to talk to and face, like my wife and my mom. Elin was hurt, shocked, angry. He can't believe he has done this to the people he loves.
Why did you get married: Because I loved her with everything I have. [Everything above is paraphrased and is not even close to everything in the video.] Source ESPN.
Of all the Tiger Wood's women, Joselyn James aka Veronica Siwik-Daniels, is the most repugnant, and her involvement in his life goes to more than just his sex-addicted personality. Reports alleged porn-star, James has released explicit sexting messages from Tiger. One text message supposedly says Tiger asks for a threesome and wants it rough, and mentions 'choking.' 3-19-10: 3-22-10 The Latest Update with video below.
If true, they rip away what remains of Woods good guy facade and reveal a control freak who fantasized about having violent sex with submissive women....From there, the text messages go from bad to a whole lot wors with Woods texting his desire to "choke" James.
In February, James said Tiger impregnated her twice. She miscarried once and aborted once. She has been on Washington State's Division of Child Support's Most Wanted List for failure to pay child support.
Woods can't stop his irresponsible behavior. He is splashing his raunchy-self all over the coming Masters tournament, where he will be the story. What a shame he doesn't have to make the cut.
Tiger Woods has announced today that he will return to tournament play at the very proper and well-behaved August Masters, April 8th through April 11th. Woods has 4 Masters wins on his scorecards, and holds the record for the youngest Masters winner at the age of 21 with a 12-stroke lead:
Augusta Masters
"The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect...After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I'm ready to start my season at Augusta. The major championships have always been a special focus in my career and, as a professional, I think August is where I need to be, even though it's been a while since I last played...I have undergone almost two months of inpatient therapy and I am continuing my treatment. Although I'm returning to competition, I still have a lot of work to do in my personal life. When I finally got into a position to think about competitive golf again it became apparent to me that the Masters would be the earliest I could play," said Woods.
Augusta Masters
Woods last public appearance on a golf course was his win at the Australian Masters on November 15th. Expected to be a ratings blockbusters with the randy Tiger in play, there is word that those with "season badges" will lose them if they try to sell their entry or violate policies.
If you need background on Tiger's Infidelity and Rehab, these posts will lead you there: Tiger Woods Accident
Tiger Woods made his long-awaited "statement" of sorrow today at the PGA headquarters in Ponte Vedro, Florida. There are many transcripts available online, but none of the transcripts I am seeing, represent what Tiger actually said. I listened to the speech and typed away as he spoke. I don't have every word, but I am close, and especially close to the spirit of his words. So below are my transcribed notes, which may be paraphrased, at times. See a video below. See update below.
Tiger and Elin Woods on their Wedding Day
When an accurate transcription appears, I will post it.
Good morning and thank you for joining me.
Many of you in this room are my friends and know me, many of you have cheered for me, worked with me and supported me.
Now everyone of you has reason to be critical of me, I want to say to each of you, simply and directly, I am very sorry for my irresponible behavior.
How could I be so selfish and foolish? How could I have done this to my wife, Elin and my children?
Elin and I have begun the process of examining the damage done by my behavior. My real apology to her will come from my behavior over time. What we say to each other will be between us.
I am aware that my behavior is hurt you. I'm deeply sorry my behavior has been a personal disappointment for those of you who work for me. I have let you down and let down my sponsors and most importantly to the young students we reach. This work [with children] remains unchanged. Millions of kids have changed their lives and I am dedicated to making sure this continues.
I am aware that I have bitterly disappointed you. I am embarassed that I have put you in this position, and for all that I have done, I am so sorry. I have a lot to atone for, but there is one issue I want to discuss:
Reports are that my wife hurt or attacked me on Thanksgiving me. Elin never hit me that night or any other night. There has never been domestic violence in our marriage. Elin has enormous grace and deserves praise, not blame.
I had affairs. I cheated. What I did is not acceptable. I stopped living by the core values I was taught. I thought I had worked hard and the rules did not apply to me. I ran through the boundaries that married people live by. i thought I had worked hard and was entitled. Because of money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them. I brought the shame on myself. I hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife's family, and children around the world who admired me. My failures made me look at my self.
Making amnends means never repeating the same mistakes. I once heard, it is not what you achieve in life that matters, its what you overcome.
Charac and decency are what really count. It's hard to admit that I need help. For 45 days from the end of December 2009, I was in in-patient therapy. I have a long way to go but I'm taking my first steps in the right direct.
I understand the press wants to know the answers to many questions. Everyone of these questions and answers are between Elin and me. Some people have made up things. False things: that I have used performance enhancing drugs. That is false.
I feel it is right to shield my family. When my children were born, we released phtos so the papparazzi so they would not chase us, but they followed my daughter to school. They followed my mom. I recognize I brought this on my self, and I am the one that must change.
My focus is to become a better man. I intend to dedicate myself to it.
I was raised a Buddhist. My mother taught me. I must stop following every impulse. Obviously I lost track of what I was taught. I will continue to receive help because that is how I can bring about change. Tomorrow i will leave for more thereapy. I thank the players in the field for understanding why I made this statement today. I need to be balanced so that I can make the changes I need to make.
I do plan to return to golf one day. I just don't know when that day will be. I do not rule out that it will be this year. When i do return, I need to be more respectful to the game. I look forward to being with my fellow players
It was rumored that Michael Jordan would be present, but there was little panning of the audience - so that is still an open question.
It has left a big question mark: When is he going to return? We have had
the apology but as golfers we are back at square one.
Ernie Els (upset that the statement was made during the week of the World Golf Championship):
It's selfish," Els told Golfweek magazine.
Here's the truth of why Tiger, on the golf course, matters:
Woods is one of the most recognized athletes in the world. Television
ratings double when he is in contention, which has happened a lot on his
way to winning 71 times on the PGA Tour and 14 majors, four short of the
record held by Jack Nicklaus.
Julia Mancuso, Olympics - American Alpine skier:
Twitter: "do we think this is coming from the heart or the paper! come
on Tiger! give us some reality here."
Veronica Siwik-Daniels, one of Woods' alleged mistresses and a former
pornographic performer, watched the event with her attorney in a Los
Angeles radio studio. She said she wants an apology for the unwanted
attention the scandal has brought her.
"I really feel I deserve to look at him in person face to face in the
eyes because I did not deserve this," she said.
Tiger Woods will return to golf "within days" according his website and will sit down with his golfing peers, in front of a TV camera and "make a statement." Updates as available.
Tiger Woods
According to a statement on Tiger's website, he will speak at 11 AM EST on Friday, February 19th in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida at the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse:
Tiger Woods will be speaking to a small group of friends, colleagues
and close associates at 11:00 a.m. EST on Friday at the TPC Sawgrass
Clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. Tiger plans to discuss his past
and his future, and he plans to apologize for his behavior.
While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter
between him and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let
down a lot of other people who were close to him. He also let down his
fans. He wants to begin the process of making amends, and that's what
he's going to discuss.
His remarks will be open to a press pool for live coverage. It is NOT a news conference.
Speculations are hot and fast about when he will return to golf.
Phil Mickelson has finally released a statement on the saga of Tiger Woods. Mickelson says "the game of golf needs him back." He also says he and his wife Amy are good friends with both Tiger and his wife Elin. "We care deeply about how this turns out." See the video here.
Reports are that Tiger Wood is in a sex rehab clinic in Cape Town, South Africa - or maybe The Meadows in Wickenburg, Arizona. Among all the reports, Wickenburg seems to be the favored odds. Update 1-28-10 below.
This report says that "celebrity spotters" believe he arrived in Cape Town between Christmas and New Years with "heavy security" surrounding the Montrose Place Clinic where some believe Tiger is receiving treatment.
This report says that Elin is still in Florida and renting a $2 million 5-bedroom home close to the home she and Tiger shared.
Most of the reports say Tiger disappeared into a sex addiction clinic between Christmas and New Years. That is over 15 days ago. How long does one randy guy receive treatment? Anyone know?
Update 1-28-10: Woods, 33, is allegedly getting treatment at the Gentle Path sex addiction rehab clinic in Mississippi. Nordegren has reportedly visited him there.
There are many reports that Tiger Woods and mistress No. 1 or 2, depending on how and when you began keeping score, are a definite duo - in love and all that goes with it - NOW, RIGHT NOW! No mention of Elin or her whereabouts, but many mentions of Tiger Woods and Rachel Uchitel. Other reports say Tiger is headed for rehab in Wickenburg, Arizona, and that his father, Earl Woods' many infidelities left the son traumatized.
Tiger Woods
Uchitel, who lives in New York, is said to be in Florida, but of course, her visit has nothing to do with Tiger - she is just visiting family. And she owns a beach home some reports say.
You'll recall that Tiger's private yacht, Privacy, had a lot of activity in it's North Palm Beach berth. Rumors were that Tiger and Elin were off to a private beach to get on with the healing and repairing of their marriage. Well, perhaps that wasn't a plan, so until recently, the Privacy was just another mystery - and perhaps remains so.
LALATE reports that Privacy is a pretender, and Tiger is actually stashed in a decoy yacht, even more private than the Privacy - and just 500 feet from Rachel Uchitel's vacation home in Palm Beach. LALATE asks, "so where is Tiger?
“In Touch can exclusively reveal that he’s still secretly having [relations] with his mistress, New York partypromoter Rachel Uchitel. “They have been sleeping together the entire
time since the scandal broke,” her friend says. They hooked up in a
condo she’s been staying at in Palm Beach.”
So how does this alleged decoy yacht reportedly work?
“But the golfsuperstar isn’t actually staying on Privacy, the friend reveals — he’s
been holed up in another decoy boat nearby. “Rachel’s condo is 500 feet
from where Tiger’s boat is docked. He has been visiting her there.”
The UK's DailyMail says Tiger was traumatized by his dad's "many affairs."
The golfer was said to have been 'devastated' when he learned that his father, Earl, was unfaithful to his mother, Tida.
'He
would just call crying and say, "My dad is with another woman",' said
Woods' first girlfriend, Dina Parr, 34, who dated him in secondary
school. He would be so upset, so I just tried to be there for him.'
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Meanwhile Woods, 33, was reportedly planning to go into rehab in
Arizona in the New Year for treatment for 'sexual compulsion' and his
use of Vicodin painkillers and Ambien sleeping pills.
Discussing
her relationship with Woods yesterday, his school sweetheart Dina Parr
told the E! entertainment show that the golfer loved his father.
But she said of his infidelities: 'I know that was the one thing about his dad that he could never get over.
Where is Elin? Where is Tiger? How is he avoiding the press? Or is he?
Elin Nordegren Woods is reported to be in talks with Puma Athletic Wear, a major competitor with Nike. If anyone can wear athletic wear well, it is Elin Nordegren. Elin, you go girl, and put that wedding ring in some dark place.
Elin Nordegren Woods
This report says she is in "internal discussion"" with Puma for a "New Swedish-inspired clothing line called Tretorn."
Other reports are showing pics of a very fit Elin, sans wedding ring. No surprise there.
A former boyfriend of Julie Postle is claiming his ex was also one of Tiger's women, both before and after Tiger and Elin's wedding. See update 12-15-09 below Elin may get Puma endorsement.
Brian Kimbrough, the ex-boyfrend, said Postle told him:
...that Woods’ marriage, even back then, was a house of cards.
"She said Tiger told her that his marriage was for publicity,”
Kimbrough told the paper. “She said it was for his image, and the
tabloids and wasn't real."
Postle, also known as Julie Purple, apparently is trying to prove that she was on Tiger's very active radar screen. Kimbrough says she contacted him to retrieve old phone records "in hopes of proving a connection to Woods."
No surprise that Postle was a waitress at Roxy in Orlando five years ago when their alleged hook-ups began. See a photo of one more trashy lady here.
