Annika wins by seven shots.  She will not go quietly into that dark night.

Can the same be said for Hilliary?

[Phil_the_Author]

Whew! I thought this was going to be another Michelle Wie thread! Was she playing this week? 

[Tommy Williamsen]

Cary, she certainly will not go quietly.

[Mark Bourgeois]

Okay, Tommy, completely random thought association you may put to use on a Sunday.

Art Linkletter used to visit elementary school classes.  One time he noticed a boy off to the side brooding while his classmates were laughing and enjoying themselves.

Art went over to the boy and tried to comfort him. "Is something wrong?" Art asked.

The boy said, "Yeah, my dog died this week."

So Art said, "Your dog went to heaven and when you go to heaven you'll see your dog again so don't be too unhappy."

The boy looked at Art quizzically. "What does God want with a dead dog?"

On second thought, maybe not...

I believe she will attempt to go nuclear on Obama, through surrogates.  In public, she'll smile, and talk about unity, but behind the scenes she will try to tar him irreparably.

If nothing else, she will attempt to make him damaged goods for the general election for having the "audacity" to challenge her birthright, hoping that his loss in the fall will prove she was right all along, and once again positioning her for 4 years from now.

Annika is awesome...too bad the other tour can't have a real rivalry for the top spot

70 Wins.

10 Majors.

$20 Million in Tour Earnings.

She's the Jack Nicklaus of the LPGA, winning everywhere and continuing to win as she "ages".  Looking at the other great women players, Ochoa makes you think that she could be the next Annika, but she's got work to do.

[Rich Goodale]

More importantly, how did Michelle Wie do?

[Steve_ Shaffer]

Michelle Wie missed the cut- 75-71.

[Craig Van Egmond]

Terry,

       She's up to 72 wins now. 

An awesome performance, looks like Annika may be healthy again.

That's what I get for relying on lpga.com!

Whatever the number, she's a marvel and one hopes that she will continue being competitive so we can see some battles between her and Ochoa and Petterson, to name a couple prominent players.

I think she's going to run as an independent.  She'll get enough votes to gum up the electoral college and try to sue her way to the Presidency.  After all, like you said Mike, she thinks she's entitled to it.

Has anyone noticed the correlation between Annika's personal life and her golf??? When her marraage was good so was she. When it went on the rocks so did her golf game. When she got the new boyfriend her golf took a backseat while she rolled in the backseat. Now she is engaged and her personal life appears to be stabilized and her golf game has returned.

it's Annika vs Lorena...and then there's Tiger vs............nobody!

Haven't you been paying attention Paul?  This months next greatest thing is Anthony Kim, stay tuned for Tigers next rival...

i hope he does challenge Tiger, Kalen, cause no one else is..

another poor showing by Lefty, for ex, this weekend, just like the Masters....gets himself into a good position for the weekend, and then nothing

[Kalen Braley]

Paul,

For this reason, I think Tiger is the best ever, because even though some say not as many great players today as before, you would have thought someone would step up by now just by pure statistical chance, yet no one really has.

Makes me believe Tiger really is that much better than everyone, and would have crushed the same 5-6 "greats" that Jack had to deal with on a regular basis in his day.

Rumors of her death may have been greatly exaggerated, but her self-imposed "death" may be a certainty...

And the last two days Hillary, who could have jumped with McCain and Bush onto that 'appeaser bandwagon' did what? She defended him, attacked them, and proclaimed these slanders to be what they were! She went 'nuclear' [nukular GWB], ON BUSH and McCAIN!

So perhaps you should forget the press and radcon BS about the Clintons feeling for 'birthrights' and STFU showing your own blindness about them.

What was it about peace, prosperity, jobs, N Ireland accords, allies throughout the World etc etc that you hated?

Or was it just all the old made up 'scandals', so totally disproven that they must resort to sex to throw dirt at these people. And even then Bill's job approval never went below 55% [GWB = 28% forever].

Hillary didn't go 'nukular'[GWB] on Obama. Grok it!

Doug

Do I sound a little angry? Well, perhaps. I LIKED all those things I listed, and THEY [Clintons] did them. Yes, they really did. Hopefully we will get by this era where conservatives control all the media outlets and the true history of 1992-2000 will crystalize.  The press was successful in stopping her. Accept your 'victory' and stop the constant contemptable lies.

PS: I have purposely avoided starting any political discussions here. I know most here are conservative, and I see no likelyhood of convincing anyone. But I will NOT put up with this type of contempt without response. Continue doing so and I will lampoon you some more! 

And I do think she should finish out the primaries before conceding. It will help Obama by bringing new voters into the National dialogue and the election process. Always good for we libs.

Golf is a poorer game without Annika.  Made me rethink my "do I or don't I" for the LPGA Championship at Bulle Rock (MD-Dye).   Obviously it's a must do now.

[Craig Van Egmond]

Doug,

      I am intrigue by the "conservatives control all the media outlet" statement. At what point did this occur? Obviously Fox is clearly slanted to the right, but when did CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC join in? LA Times?  New York Post? Wash Post? Newsweek? Internet? Moveon.org? 

      As I understand media (newspaper, mags, tv, etc) is owned by 6 companies in the United States: Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, Viacom (formerly CBS) -and General Electric's NBC. How many of these would you deem conservative (besides Murdoch).  Those studies that show that most journalist have a left bent must have been conducted by the conservative media.  Do you also consider Universities to be conservative breeding grounds?

[Doug Ralston]

Doug:  the good things you cite were the direct result of the Contract with America and Newt Gingrich.  Clinton, the brilliant politician that he WAS, recognizing that he had no choice but to go along, acquiesced to Gingrich's demands regarding spending, tax cuts and the budget, and bada-bing! and whaddyaknow!, good things happened -- despite Clinton, not because of him.  The only credit he deserves is for the good sense not to get in the way.

End of anti-revisionist rant...

Shivas, please quit pitching me softballs.

1st, I would think the words of conservative economist and legend Alan Greenspan, who credited Clinton and the DEM congress of 1993, and especially their paying down the deficit, for the economic boom of the 90's, would not allow you to try to steal it.

Second, the Repubs kept full control of the Congress and added ShrubCo in 2000, and since ............?

Third, the OTHER lying arguement goes "It was just a tech bubble and didn't really happen anyway". Kinda contradictory to 'it was great but we really did it', huh?

Hell, since ShrubCo went insanely into debt, all those "Balanced Budget Amendment" ravers {remember? from Contract On America!], all NOW say 'debt is good' and 'who cares'. Afterall, that is what the conservative talk radio daily 'talking points' said, wasn't it? Must be the New Truth!

As an aside, Contract On America also was gonna bring us 'Term Limits'. How many of those who supported those at the times actually voted for them, or better accepted them for themselves? Of the hundreds that espoused this idea and reached the opportunity, there were one or two, and a couple dems too, who voluntarily took them. Like the other 'ideology' of that document, it was for public consumption, not to be taken really seriously. It is now obviously the source of much 'spin'. One should actually track the results. [Too be fair, Newt [for whom I have a certain reluctant respect, sometimes] was able to do some of that]. Hopefully, a Dem Prez with a Dem Congress can undo the damage [again].

Want some more? Let me know. 

Doug

PS: I know I speak with lots of internal addendums. Politics, like all human interaction, is no simple thing. If it was, we would have solved these problems long ago.
