To hell with politics and the Middle East ... let's talk TIGER!!!

Tiger Woods wins at Torrey Pines -- huh? It's spring already?

Although Tiger doesn't count it as a streak, the PGA does. That is, the PGA looks at his seven straight PGA Tour wins as a streak ... and it sees Tiger as within four of tying Byron Nelson's eleven straight back in 1945. Tiger, on the other hand, sportsman that he is, regards his losses in Europe and in Asia as "counting" and his "streak" as only beginning.

He also announced that if his wife has the baby during the week of the British Open, he will skip even that -- and even if it means not having a chance at a Grand Slam. Now that's an American hero!

Anyway, he blistered the course today as I listened to the "play-by-play" on my XM radio (XM 146) while driving into Aberdeen to pick up some totes to begin emptying my living room into the bomb shelter (a.k.a. new utility room) out in back.

As I listened excitedly, Tiger shot a final round six-under-par 66 today (January 28th) to win the Buick Invitational for the third straight year and win his seventh consecutive PGA Tour title.

Now wasn't that nicer than my reporting on the deaths in Iraq or the premature Democratic (and Republican) races for the 2008 Presidential elections?
