I think I'm going to have a new running term: TSND. This Story Needs to Die.
This story, specifically.
Tiger Woods is a golfer. A golfer.
A gooooooolfer.
At best, he is a sports hero. But we shouldn't give a damn if he cheated on his wife. Even if we did care, we certainly shouldn't be caring about it this damn much.
A sovereign government was overthrown in the Middle East yesterday. People are dead in the streets. And this isn't just any country we're talking about here -- it's the country that gets to determine whether or not we can fly stuff into Afghanistan.
But an athlete cheated on his wife. The story broke months ago. It is patent old news. But the gaping maw that is 24-hour TV news needs feeding, and the army of talking heads needs something to discuss.
It needs to stop. Seriously.
