The good news is that stonewalling doesn't work in the blogosphere. Today's Drudge Report is all over the story. And in our humble opinion, the highest profile bloggers are dreaming if they think they're immune to a bit of fun at their expense. Something tells us Glenn Reynolds isn't the only blog star who's going to pay this very small price of celebrity. Stay tuned.

Tiger Leads
It has been awhile, but I hope you've been watching the Masters this year. With all the weather delays it has been a struggle, but Tiger Woods turned in a 66 for his second round yesterday and a 31 for the first nine holes of his third round before play was called for darkness.
This morning he closed out his third round at 65. And leads the field with -11. Chris DiMarco is in second at -8.
It should be worth the time to take a look at the final round today.

There was once a Father who had Two Children
Does anyone out there still think President George W. Bush is stupid?
Usually, that would be all we wrote, allowing you, dear reader, to fill in the rest. However, sometimes
people write in and don't get it, so we'll expand -- just a bit. Linger over this picture for a little
longer than usual. There they are, President Clinton and President George H. W. Bush kneeling next to the
Pope's body. They've been appearing all over the place raising public awareness and coordinating
relief efforts for the tsunami victims and now they've traveled to Rome together.
President Clinton is the most powerful voice the Democrats have and he is constantly seen with the President's father. Now he is seen kneeling with the President's father. Throw in the fact that President Clinton's past father figures have been a bit deficient and you can catch a glimpse of the brilliance of our President. See? Funny.
Also, you could hold your cursor over the image and get a bit more of the humor. Yet again, there is a lack of symmetry in this photo (meaning, someone is missing that would balance the shot) which is also very funny, the more you think about it.
It does seem like something, or more likely, someone has caught President Clinton's eye in the balcony. We imagine this will be discussed quietly at another time.
Some days, the jokes just write themselves.
PSAYINGS.5G.14-15. The writer Saul Bellow has died. He wrote beautifully, he stopped writing when he felt he had nothing more to add, and if this piece is to be believed, he arrived finally at happiness.
Janis Freedman eventually began working part-time as Bellow's secretary and, several years after I graduated, they stunned everyone by getting married.
He was more than four decades older than she, and you only need read the vicious portraits of his ex-wives in his novels to see how unsuccessful he had been at the marriage game.
But this unconventional union was the one that finally took. In his final book, Bellow paints a blissful portrait of his marriage to Janis, who gave birth five years ago to his only daughter.
Bellow's great subject as a novelist was
the human yearning for love and meaning. It turned out that, like the
protagonist of his great 1970 novel "Mr. Sammler's Planet," Bellow had
to wait until his 70s until he could find the love and meaning in his
own life that had so long eluded him.
