    In reply to Correction: Tiger Woods' Wife Kicks His Ass
    If the tables were turned and Tiger had scratched his wife's face up then chased her with a golf club causing her to crash her car, he would probably be sitting in jail. True, there is some celebrity worship going on but mostly there is a double standard when it comes to domestic violence committed by women. The police are not taking her actions seriously b/c she is a woman and he is a cheating prick. Everyone just figures he deserved it.

    The police clearly don't want to investigate this case or get involved at all. When the police came to interview Tiger the first time the wife told them he was sleeping and they just left! If she were a he, there is no way they would have been all "Sure, we can come back at another time. No problem".

    By the way, #SNL has some seriously horrendous hosts lined up for the next few weeks, so I expect lots of liveblogging in #SNS. Next week is Blake Lively, followed by Taylor Lautner(!!), followed by James Franco (who I respect for the whole soap thing, but seriously?), followed by Jay Baruchel, who I'm not sure has ever had more than four lines in any given movie. WTF?

    @fatmonalisa: I think you're undervaluing it immensely, actually. I've never seen as many articles about Taylor Swift as I did after she hosted SNL, not even after she swept award show after award show. Not to mention how popular and even arguably influential it was during campaign season. People talk about how irrelevant it is, and yet they managed to get Obama, McCain and his wife, Clinton, and Palin all on air. That's a hop, skip, and enormous jump away from Rachael Ray.

    @DahlELama: Since you opened up the topic, can we briefly discuss the fact that the SNL rerun tonight with Gerard Butler (which is definitely from the current season since those two new women are in this episode) contained a sketch about '300', which came out close to three years ago? WTeffingF is going on with this show? Seriously. (I'm also fairly agog about Baruchel. Whoever manages him is either a very intimidating mafioso type, or, like, a warlock. [Oh my God, now there's a sketch on about 'Braveheart'. I CAN'T.])

    @JohntheCraptist: Yeah, basically Butler will be living off 300 forever because it's the only remotely memorable thing he's done. And I say this having never even seen it, but assuming it must be because otherwise I can neither justify this SNL appearance nor his cover feature in Esquire. I actually thought his episode was OK, especially in a particularly bad season, but I wouldn't like to see him host again.

    As for Baruchel, I'd put twenty bucks on the warlock. Just the fact that his name looks familiar to me is astonishing and clearly the work of the devil and some potion featuring eye of newt. The truth is, he may have comedic chops and therefore not be so bad at SNL, but I find the show a lot less enjoyable when I'm not familiar with the host's work.

    @fatmonalisa: You're right. It's as if SNL has abandoned any attempt to be funny and is now simply about the "gets", as if the mere presence of a novel or high-profile guest host or a cameo by a politico makes the show good. Last night I watched an episode from the second season. In Update, Jane Curtin made a vicious comment about the Tonight Show with Carson being dead after 15 years on the air. Well, SNL has become that Tonight Show.

    In reply to Correction: Tiger Woods' Wife Kicks His Ass
    I'm slightly amazed at the comments to my comments.

    I was in no way justifying domestic violence (See School of Obviousness).

    But from the School of Commonsense and Knowledge of Nasty Spousal Relations, I can tell you that, assuming what people surmise is correct:

    A very attractive, still young woman, i.e., still wants to preserve her looks, who is the mother of young children, i.e., wants to protect her tender offspring, does not wail on her super-successful, multimillionaire, celebrity husband who's been rumored to have been a non-stop Lothario/Don Juan for just nothing.

    He said something. It was probably outrageous.

    Further Affiant Sayeth Not.

    And a good weekend to all.

    The reactions to your original post were all clearly heavy handed given Tiger is a big boy who can take care of himself. Trying to use the relationship of the richest athlete in the world to make generalizations about domestic abuse is kind of ridiculous. None of us know the true dynamics of this relationship.

    @Penscribe:

    We don't even know what happened, how can you possibly say that?

    People lose their tempers and it devolves into physical violence all the time. It would be better if it didn't, but ithas been known to happen.

    What was said does matter.

    Personally, assuming that what's been reported is accurate, I am not particularly mystified.

    @Matt Cherette: No offense to your mom, but I think everyone crowing "called it" on this one should probably step off. Anyone possessing even the slightest capacity for critical thought knew that the "she busted his rear window to pull him from the wreckage" story was a steaming pile of wet horseshit from the moment it was introduced. Dude was driving a huge SUV at a slow rate of speed and the impact of the crash didn't even set off the airbags, so, I mean, COME ON. So again, those boasting about being the second-coming of Nancy Drew need to chill.

    However, on the flip side, people who read that story and bought it without having an internal Drudge siren going off in their heads should probably just go out and drown themselves in the first Port-O-Potty they come across, because life is just going to sodomize their souls continuously until it finally puts them out of their misery.
