    It sounds like the only wood that made contact with his face might be a Nike 3 wood............not the birch in his driveway........or the mahogany from the steering wheel.

    "his wife, Elin Nordegren, used a golf club to smash the back window of the Cadillac Escalade, then dragged him out"

    For some reason, I read that as a description of what had caused the car accident, as in a domestic dispute.

    I have a theory: He was going to all the all-night market to get diapers and looked away for a second to consult the GPS. The hydrant (followed closely by the tree) jumped in front of his SUV causing the low speed accident. They returned to their "daytime" places before the ambulance arrived. Just a theory.

    The mayor of Windemere (why is he giving a statement, by the way?) told CNN that Woods was "treated and released" from the hospital, and that he suffered facial lacerations, but that the injuries were not serious.

    Also, Woods' agent released a statement that said, "[Woods] is fine."

    @Matt Cherette: The vehicle needs to be going a certain speed (25mph, 30 mph?)before the air bags would deploy. Given that he was exiting the driveway of his mansion -- err, humble abode -- making a turn onto the main rode, his speed is likely under the deployment speed.

    As is de-rigueur when they don't have concrete facts but must report something........anything, both CNN and Fox are showing an overhead shot of his home and the supposedly offending tree that got in the way of his Escalade. Unfortunately, there is similar looking tree about 10 feet away that looks exactly the same. Oooh, I get to speculate....

    Holiday related small scale crashes usually involve intoxication, or unearthed family secrets, or some combination of both.

    I'm not following the rationale about Polanski's Oscar. He shouldn't pay for a crime he committed in the 1970s because he won an Oscar 25 years later?

    International law is so complicated.

    It's not that long a drive to Switzerland and a friend of mine has a new car with a big trunk.

    I wonder how much, exactly, he'd be willing to pay for us to drive him over the ridiculously porous border.

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: Exactly! Guns don't kill people, bulletts do. Unless of course you're in one of those old monster movies where the monster chases the gun-toting hero who is firing as he runs away, only to be cornered as his gun runs out of ammunition. And what does our hero do, class? Right, he throws said gun at the monster, braining it squarely, felling him in an instant.

    Hey, a little cinematic revisionist history is called for every now and again, yes? #shooting

    Why do the crazies, the postals and the stressed never engage in mad pillow-fighting or water pistol warfare? Always so serious with the permanent angry.

    It really is sad the number of people in this country who seem to die only because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person. These are not our finest hours, America. #shooting
