Just thought I’d pass this little tidbit along. I was recently involved in a media story about a couple guys who hoaxed their way on to MSNBC. Because of this, I am now a golfer in Brazil: Click the image to enlarge it. Here’s what it says about me: “The truth had been told: McCain’s false advisor had been exposed since the beginning, without much consequence, by another blogger, William K. Wolfrum, a golfer that happens to live in Brasil.” This is from the magazine Veja, which is like the Time Magazine of Brazil. So now, I have about a million Brazilians ...

Golden Era Golf Course was a pleasant nine-hole run in Gilman Hot Springs, Calif. It was a nice challenge for golfers looking to get some holes in while enjoying the local area.

By now, you’ve likely heard the main reason why John McCain lost the Presidency - Sarah Palin. Yes, it was all the Alaska Governor’s fault. She was a diva that was unaware Africa was a continent, didn’t know what countries were in NAFTA, was not positive that the Earth was a planet, thought pure methane was what mammals breathed, was a shopaholic who single-handedly raised the consumer spending Index two percentage points by buying $1.7 billion in new clothes, and on and on. But you may be surprised to hear me defend Palin on this one. It wasn’t her fault McCain ...
