Tiger Woods is still not on top of his game, as his first round bow-out in the Accenture WGC Match Play showed.
So, I'm with Yahoo's Devil Golf Blog — can golf media STFU, at least a little bit, about Tiger until he proves he's back by winning something?
Really. There's going to be a day he's no longer around at the top of his game anyway, so ... call this prep time for that.
Or, to riff on Richard Nixon 1962, you won't have Tiger's ass to glorify anymore.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
As seen at Washington Babylon and other fine establishments

Sierra Club, hoist by its own green building petard
HAH!
The Sierra Club does NOT have rooftop solar panels at its HQ and gets busted.
But, wait, that's not all.
A Sierra Club staffer, in a comment to the blog post linked above. then notes the building is rented.
But, wait, that's not all, you Gang Green employee shill.
OK, prod the landlord, then. Or do what the Natural Resources Defense Council, a slightly more enlightened Gang Greener, did:
NRDC, down in Southern California, moved into its own new Western Regional HQ in 2003 that has solar panels, water recapture, energy conservation, etc., all adding up to an LEED Platinum certification.
More on the NRDC facility here:
So, why won't Sierra either pressure its landlord, or else build its own HQ? Hell, it's got all that Clorox greenwash money. It's surely also saving money from suspending the Florida chapter's leadership for protesting over that.
So, Sierra Club? Put up, or STFU.

NRDC's new headquarters, however, uses 60 to 75 percent less energy than a conventional building of its size, gets 100 percent of its energy from carbon-free renewables, and consumes 60 percent less drinking water. As (NRDC senior scientist Robert) Watson estimated, "If all commercial buildings in the U.S. were as efficient as ours, the country would achieve 70 percent of its Kyoto Protocol obligation."
