Swing And a Miss Woods
If Tiger Woods had to have knee surgery, he picked an ideal time: while he recovers, he gets to spend all day with his 14-month-old daughter, Sam—and his new videogame, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09. He spoke with NEWSWEEK's Matthew Philips.
How often do you play the game?
A lot more now. A whole lot more now.
It'll be five months before you swing a club again. When was the last time that happened?
Probably since I came out of the womb. I've had injuries here and there, but I've always been able to go hit balls. Now I'm not allowed to do anything.
Does the videogame help keep you sharp?
It is like swinging a club. I've got to watch it, though, because if I'm not careful I'll take a full swing, and I'm not supposed to torque on my leg yet.
Is it tough watching the season unfold without you?
Not really, because I know I can't physically compete with those guys. I couldn't even beat my daughter in a game of golf right now.
She's also just 14 months old.
That's been the best thing ever, getting the chance to see her develop. As golfers, we're always away, so it couldn't have come at a more perfect time.

Comment: This moronic scumbag Samuel J. Wurzelbacher "Joe the Plumber" had his AZ driver license suspended
http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/128323
Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.
...owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.
Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.
After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.
Hopefully the collection agency will break both of his legs so he'll never be able to walk nor work ever again. This typical Republican scumbag deserves it.
