In which I lift the statute of limitations

I know I do things in a weird way
We all have such ways
In my case when I see the NYT lining up to mash Tiger, I know it is time to shelve any regret I have and come out four square on his side
Go get 'em Tiger with your new management your new swing coach and your new caddie
Even if you don't play your way out I pronounce you free and clear of your past
Such a pronouncement is worth exactly nothing in the scheme of things
Save what can be reaped by the power of words
Go Get 'em Tiger
Just to prove the NYT wrong

Some Day Charities Will Be Understood To Be Part of a Web of Corruption

How Rupert Murdoch’s Money Helps Him Makes Friends - The Daily Beast: "Over the past decade, Murdoch and his company News Corp. have spent close to $50 million sowing the seeds of goodwill here in America through well-heeled lobbyists, seven-figure political donations, and large charitable contributions to key nonprofit groups." It's not that they are all criminals. It is because they embrace the values of the haves whuch is why we have excrescences like the Aspen Institute masquerading as mainline intellectual watering holes. Better a diner somewhere methinks. The NYT is the sign and seal of the sell-out of our culture to growth, upward mobility and other non-Veblenian objectives. Murdoch will be a convenient scapegoat while the game goes on.
