The LPGA announced a mandatory drug testing program will go into effect for women golfers on tour for the 2008 season. I don’t think the women have anything to worry about (have you seen the size of POY Lorena Ochoa?), but will the PGA be next?

The PGA yesterday reported that they are tweaking the current version of the FedExCup format.Before: the 3 “playoff” tournaments leading up to the final Tour Championship would consist of the top 144 players….up until the Tour Championship, when the …

Vijay Singh says he has ironed out the swing problems that caused his drop in the PGA rankings and hopes to have a strong start next year.

Ryder Cup teammates Scott Verplank, Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson won the $500,000 first prize for the PGA Tour at the Wendy’s 3-Tour Challenge on Tuesday.

Entering her second year as a professional, teenage golfer Michelle Wie will take another swing against the men at the Sony Open after receiving an exemption Tuesday.

Last Saturday, my top-10 BCS-ranked college football team went down in flames to a crappy inter-conference team that my high school team could beat.

Pelosi - Another Israel

First Zionist Gatekeeper?

Pelosi On Israel

Pelosi is 100% behind Israel, and stated “The creation of the State of Israel is one of the miracles of the twentieth century.”

Pelosi overlooks Israel’s brutal treatment of the Palestinians, and doesn’t mention Israel’s massive nuclear, chemical and biological weapons arsenal. Pelosi’s view of Muslims versus Americans and Israelis is racist.

Regarding Iran

According to Pelosi, the biggest danger to Israel today comes from Iran, whose nuclear ambitions, though still unproved, also threaten the US.

Her perspective contains the seed of ominous things to come, because, after all, something will have to be done about Iran, right? Yes, and soon.

“If evidence of participation by other nations in Iran’s nuclear program is discovered, I will insist that the Administration use, rather than ignore, the evidence in determining how the US deals with that nation or nations on other issues,” she said.

Pelosi’s Husband Is An Extremely Wealthy Real Estate Developer

The Pelosi family has a net worth of over $90 million, mainly from Paul’s investments. Paul Pelosi, Italian/Catholic/Crypto, was a New York investment banker turned San Francisco real estate developer. He is president of Financial Leasing Services, a venture-capital company in San Francisco. He is a stock trader with millions in Microsoft, Amazon.com and AT&T.

Relationship to Nancy Pelosi: Husband of nearly 40 years.

Occupation: President of Financial Leasing Services Inc. of San Francisco, specializing in real estate and venture capital investments.

How they met: While a student at Trinity College in Washington, D.C., Nancy D’Alesandro took a class at Georgetown University and met undergraduate Paul Pelosi, a San Francisco native. After they married, Paul and Nancy Pelosi in the mid-1960s returned to San Francisco, where they raised five children.

The role he plays: While Nancy Pelosi has pursued a political life, Paul Pelosi has helped maintain her financial independence, in addition to being what many consider the model political spouse, providing emotional and practical support that has freed his wife to pursue her political interests.

“You cannot have a career in politics as a married woman unless you have incredible support from your mate,” said Roz Wyman, a long-active Democrat and close friend of the Pelosi family. “Paul’s support is immeasurable.”

Quote: “I’ve made a conscious effort to not be involved or give the appearance of being involved in her political career. People should realize that she’s the one.”
