Case Closed on Tiger

A friend of mine read my comment about the prospect of me being chased out of the house at 2 a.m. by a woman armed with a baseball bat. His comment: "So, instead of Casey at the Bat, it would be Casey Fleeing the Bat?"

Tiger Woods has paid his fine for being a bad driver. He should stop releasing statements admitting to anything, even if videos or pix get released. Better to have reporters shouting questions at him rather than feeding the media frenzy.

Yesterday I heard Charles Barkley recommending that Woods "be a man" and address the media. That's the same Charles Barkley who told police he was speeding because he was in a hurry to get a blowjob. As he explained to police, the reason he had run a stop sign: "You want the truth? I was gonna drive around the corner and get a blow job."

Barkley will say anything. It isn't surprising he would advise others to do the same.

A media person on TV this morning suggested Woods should quickly admit to everything, perhaps even hold a press conference. Of course a media person would want such a thing.

Woods should take a lesson from Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina who is barely holding onto his political career. So admitting transgressions will stop the media frenzy, right? Then who were those reporters flying south of the border to smoke the woman out?

A friend of mine keeps telling me that what Tiger Woods does in his marriage is not anyone's business. I agree with him. I have noticed, however, that my friend knows even more details about this case than I do. I am getting most of my Tiger Woods updates from him.

A female friend of mine says that Tiger Woods' wife should not have "gone ghetto" on him. Any woman who marries someone rich and famous like Tiger Woods should expect such a man to stray.

That sounds like a good position but I would just recommend that the couple agree on that in advance. I know that I would have married Tiger Woods and agreed in advance that he could cheat...

I'm in a three-way conversation about Tiger Woods.

Person A: The media should investigate Tiger Woods and report about his alleged affairs. This is yet another example of a cheating professional athlete/celebrity.

Person B: Not even the police should have asked Tiger Woods questions. It was his home, no one was complaining.

CJL: The police should at least knock on the door to ask questions when there is a chance of abuse or violence. But once it is determined that everyone is okay and no one wants to press charges, then the cops should move on (which, according to police, is what they usually want to do).

Diverse Secondary Education (2016-10-09)

  This morning I was one of the featured speakers at "Diverse Secondary Education in South Korea." www.lovetnkr.org/donate Young Collyer, host of the event, wrote: Diverse Secondary Education in South Korea (학생들에게 직접 들어보는 교육이야기) 쌀쌀한 가을의 휴일, 이른 아침부터 토론회에 참석해 주신 TNKR 대표 케이시 라티그(Casey Latigue)님, 하파엘 (Rafael Miliati Ramalho) 중대 북한개발협력과 석사과정), 한대의 (세종대 생명공학과), 레이첼 스타인 (Rachel Stine 허핑톤 포스트 컬럼니스트, 파고다) 외 글로벌 유스 인스티튜트 회원들 한국국제학교의 장정환, 윤지수 KKFS의 Mohamed와 Esther. 특히, 참석을 위해 익산 원광여고 민정이와 알렉스가 익산에서 서울까지 왔습니다. 무척이나 열정적이고 알찬 토론회였습니다. 특히 자원봉사자 선생님들과 함께 북한 이주민들을 대상으로 무료로 영어교육하고 있는 케이시 선생님에게 많은 영감을 얻었습니다. 케이시 선생님은 하버드대학교에서 교육학 석사과정 중 워싱턴 D.C. 의 빈민가정의 아이들을 대상으로한 교육을 필두로 해서 지금까지 사회의 음지에 있는 이들을 대상으로 양질의 교육을 펼치기 위한 교육을 펼쳐 왔으며, 우연히 북한이주민 영어교육 프로그램을 시작하게 된 뒤 계속해서 이 일을 해오고 있다고 합니다. 또한, 오후에는 청소년들과 함께, 우리나라의 교육 현실에 대한 토론을 하였습니다. 현재 사교육 중심으로 돌아가는 한국의 교육제도, 창의적 교육 운운하면서 실상은 창의를 말살시키는 한국의 교육제도, 내자식은 1등이 아니면 안되라고 생각하는 한국의 어머니들때문에 사교육 시장으로 내몰리는 한국의 청소년들.. 스스로 창의적인 사람이 될 수 있도록, 남들보다 잘하기 위해 1등이 되는 것이 아니라, 내...

Manufactured cases

My former Cato Institute colleague Bob Levy is profiled by the Associated Press for his role in the challenge to the DC gun ban. One great thing about Levy is that he tells it like it is. As the article quotes: And Levy freely admits the case is manufactured, not one that bubbled up by chance from the district's steady flow of criminal cases involving guns. He wanted presentable plaintiffs to make a case for gun rights, not criminals. "We didn't want crack heads and bank robbers to be poster boys for the Second Amendment," he said. Is there a problem with this case being manufactured? I heard a talking head on the radio complaining a while ago that this case wasn't from real DC residents, that it was from outsiders. What's wrong with that? There may be some times that it takes an outsider to challenge an injustice or bad law. Did DC residents claim that Martin Luther King Jr. was an outsider who should have minded his own business? And about the case being ...
