Source: BBC News – Golf icon Tiger Woods faces police questions over crash

(BBC News) Police are expected to question world number one golfer Tiger Woods later on Saturday more than a day after a car crash outside his Florida home.
The star was found semi-conscious with facial injuries after his car reportedly hit a fire hydrant and tree.
Officers were told Woods’ wife Elin had used a golf club to break the rear window of the car and help him out after the accident early on Friday.
The 14-time major champion was admitted to hospital and later released.

____________Editorial______________
There are TWO Black men that are not allowed to EVER break the law. Tiger Woods and Barack Obama. Tiger… your f*cking up!!
(And yes, all subtext with the nursery rhyme and it’s various controversial presentations is completely intentional. C’mon now… we’re AfroThought.)

NFL star Burress faces gun charge | BBC News

Couldn’t we make it the rest of the year without a Fail?

Plaxico Burress, who plays for the New York Giants, has been charged with possession of a loaded firearm, which is illegal in the city. Read more

Fail: Chocolate News & David Alan Grier

When I first heard that Comedy Central was going to start airing a show called “Chocolate News”, I got worried. All I could think about was “I just hope it’s responsible”, meaning I hope they don’t go all in and bet the farm on racial stereotype jokes the whole season (if it lasts that long, God forbid).

Fail: Palin and talking (out loud)

When it comes to making their running mates look bad, she makes it look easy…

No doubt a lot of attention has been on Sarah Palin, potentially the first-ever female vice president, but in recent weeks, the Alaskan Governor has had her share of goof ups that make the GOP look really bad. Read more

Fail: Angel Matos

Sh*t’s too too funny.

Gives another meaning to sore loser. Mofo kicked the ref!! Read more

Fail: UFC Judges

It’s been quiet around here for the past few weeks. But just when you start to have faith in people’s judgment, someone fucks it up. This past weekend, I went to go watch UFC 86: Jackson vs. Griffin, a fight that I knew would be an extremely interesting matchup. Although, with the media portraying this thing like David vs. Goliath, I had my initial worries. Read more

Fail: ???????

It’s quiet. A little too quiet.

So I had in mind who Failed this week, but on second thought their shortcomings weren’t that crucial. In fact, their perspective follows a predictable line of logic they have been up to for months. Also, most of it revolved around Hillary again (and two Fails is beating a dead horse – where did this saying come from, who was out beating dead horses?). Whether it be Bob Johnson’s “please baby please” urging for Senator Obama to select his favorite blonde as VP or the millions (::like The Rock fans:: “and millions”) of people who are seriously considering voting for McCain just because Haterade didn’t seal the deal, AfroThought is beyond wasting a fail on them. However we’ve mentioned a larger looming darkness… (“Darkeness is spreading”). Read more

Fail: Hillary Clinton

I was hoping it wasn’t gonna come down to this. I’ll flat out say, I didn’t vote for Hillary. Even though I’ve been quoted as saying, “Man, I hate that b***h!”. I really don’t. Everyone knows that the Clinton’s are a proud family that don’t take shyt from nobody, but there has to be a point in time where enough is enough.

This past week, Senator Clinton, when answering the question “Why are you still staying in the race?”, made references to her husband’s June “win” and (unfortunately) Robert F. Kennedy’s June assassination just two weeks before the 40th anniversary of that tragedy. Check it out… Read more

Speaking Loudly ≠ Speaking Smartly

You know you’re having a bad day when Chris Matthews of MSNBC’s Hardball makes you look like a damn fool on national TV. The particular “bad-day-haver” I’m talking about is Kevin James, a right-wing radio talk show host out of Los Angeles.

First of all, lemme say that I’m not I’m not the biggest fan of Chris Matthews as he makes the worst analogies EVER. He’s one of those guys that you have to wonder, “How the hell did this guy get a show?” So when this guy chops you to frikkin’ shreds, you just Fail. Read more
