That’s right. We’ve been engaged in “virtual rubber-necking” since Thanksgiving, gobbling up all the tidbits of Tiger Woods’ I-gate — that’s short for “Infidelitygate”… We’ve heard as many sordid details as the media has been able to dig up, and finally — FINALLY — someone has asked about the kids.

Tiger and his wife, Elin, have two toddlers — Sam, age two years, and Charlie, age 10-months.

The latest chapter in this spat of lying lovers and cheating spouses is that State of Florida child protection officers visited the Woods’ home. They say it was a “routine visit” prompted by allegations of domestic violence.

Seems just a tad bit late, considering this incident of  suspected domestic violence is said to have occurred on Thanksgiving — weeks ago!

Getting back to the point of this post — it’s amazing that the welfare of these children was not THE FIRST PRIORITY.  Children in those formative years need safe nurturing homes, and shame on Elin and Tiger for not keeping this in mind.

Perhaps wedding vows should be changed from “in sickness and in health” to “in times of blatant stupidity and in those fleeting periods of success that can be destroyed by the aforesaid stupidity.”

The Saga of Tiger Woods is playing out like clearcutting in the rain forests, and each day brings a new twist. Can he survive the American public opinion? If we step back and take a good look at the forest instead of just the trees, we can see how absolutely ridiculous it is for the media circus over the “zipper problem” of yet one more high-profile American male.

Thankfully, we don’t have to endure the daily bombardment of minutia that makes up the sex lives of lesser-known Americans… Enough is enough. Make love not war! Let’s get over it and let the guy re-invent himself. After all, he’s Tiger Woods — America’s “boy next door”…
