'My Country is Falling Apart, U.S. Could Be Next!'

A Joker-faced Jan Peter Balkenende, Prime Minister of the Netherlands

Dutch Journalist Explains Collapse and Warns America

A World Exclusive

Three days ago, an article on Bloomberg’s “Business Week” website reported that the Dutch government had fallen. Having developed a working relationship with a Dutch resident named Maarten van Dop, who holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Television Journalism, I decided to look into the matter more closely. In doing so, I discovered a number of striking similarities between the Netherlands and the U.S. regarding political party divisions and the rising tide of dissent among voters. Ultimately, I asked Maarten to provide an assessment, as a journalist and resident, of what really happened to cause the government’s demise. Not only did he graciously consent, he also pointed out that the United States of America appears to be headed in the same direction and urges all Americans to pay close attention to the events taking place in his country.

The following was authored by Maarten van Dop

“We were never in Iraq!”

The Dutch government supported the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. They accomplished the latter mainly by mouth (‘politically’), and the first by a significant material and personal contribution. About a month ago, a report was presented on Dutch involvement in the invasion of Iraq. The report was supposedly independent, but officially commissioned by the government last year. A very unwilling government was forced to concede and allow an investigation to take place, thanks to pressure of an altered political constellation. The conclusions of the report did not mince matters or words: the Iraq war was illegal for lack of an international mandate. It went on to say that information was manipulated to serve political goals and parliament was not properly informed. Normally, this would be sufficient to make any prime minister secede his reign, especially when it’s still the same person. But the extraordinary circumstances induced by the economic recession gave this coalition excuse to remain seated, much to the dismay of the opposition.

“We’ll be getting the hell out of Afghanistan!”

The next topic for debate for this coalition was Afghanistan. The United Nations has requested the Netherlands to prolong Dutch presence in the southern province of Uruzgan. President Obama and Vice-President Biden have been appealing to reconsider a decision already made: this year, 2010, Holland withdraws its people from Afghanistan. The two major fractions in government stand opposite one another regarding this request. And now it seems the party opposing prolongation, has pulled the plug. It seems that way because, in actuality, a compromise had already been found, which was leave Uruzgan, but stay in Afghanistan; no more fighting missions, only reconstruction and facilitation for the Afghans. Ironically, this time around it was the economic recession that urged this coalition to bail out. A report from the National Bureau for Statistics showed a projection for the economy that made participating parties realize there was nothing left to be gained up until the next official elections in 2011.

Contradictions & Compromises

Holland is a land of contradictions. Amsterdam is our capital, but our seat of government is The Hague. The Queen is our Head of State, but she is not our leader. Think that’s weird? Ask about our policies on drugs. Or rather: don’t. It all stems from a system of compromise, which we proudly refer to as ‘Poldermodel’ - wherein everything is open to discussion and can be thusly solved. Every contestant is rewarded their share of the stake, but nobody gets the whole deal. Those who wheel more than they deal, end up on top. The Netherlands has a multi-party political system. The current coalition, which became an interim group last week, consists of three different parties. Until the 1990’s, governing coalitions used to consist of two parties that held a workable majority of representatives in parliament. A coalition would either be center-right (Christian Democrats & Liberals) or center-left (Christian Democrats & Socialists). All other parties were relegated to the opposition. However, the Dutch political landscape is becoming increasingly splintered, and the next coalition might even have more than three partners. The more people get to have a say, the less efficient decision-making will be. It’s the conundrum of democracy. Simultaneously, the people crave ‘strong leadership’ as the political spectrum becomes increasingly dispersed. Democracy depends as much on the competence of the eligible as on the competence of the electorate.

Dutch Tea (Party)

Disapproval for the “Poldermodel’ gave way to the rise of Pim Fortuyn, who was considered by many to be an outsider. Fortuyn entered the political arena in 2002, and the world watched in amazement as he single-handedly went from virtual unknown to heading in the polls in the upcoming election. He was shot dead a week before the election took place. His party, LPF, went on to become the second largest political party in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, the party was in complete disarray and the coalition collapsed after a mere 80 days of governance. Ever since Fortuyn’s murder, hosts of wannabe ‘strong leaders’ have graced the Dutch political scene. This time, the Party for Freedom (PVV), led by Geert Wilders, is heading the polls. The PVV is the equivalent of the rapidly expanding Tea Party in the Americas. If he wins big enough, and is not killed, he might well draw up to the ruling coalition. Sarah Palin would probably refer to him as a rogue politician. Thriving on nationalism and xenophobia, his main issue is to oppose the perceived ‘Islamizing’ of the Netherlands. Watch well, American Tea Party patriots. What you’re looking for is someone similar to this enigmatic leader. You’re looking for someone who will ‘unite the nation’, and we’ve got loads of those on sale.

A MAJOR Ass-Kicking Could Be Coming!

Members of the al Qaeda terrorist group

Terrorists Will Capitalize on Political Discord, If We're Not Careful

Hey, America! Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, another superstar senator bolts his political party because he feels “Congress isn’t working.” Duh! I guess Evan Bayh didn’t get the memo until now, folks. I'd like to say something to Senator Bayh and every elected official that jumped ship or is planning to do so. You guys give whole new meaning to the term “bail-outs”, and you’re all cowards in The G-Man’s book.

Each of you made the decision to leave office when your country and constituents needed you most. You sons-of-bitches gave the President of the United States the authority to send more soldiers to die in Iraq and Afghanistan, but now many of you are choosing to “cut and run” instead of rolling up your sleeves, hammering out solutions and doing the right thing for this country and its inhabitants. Every politician that bounced on President Obama simply because of political discord is a disgrace to this country and the oath they took.

They're all a bunch of traitors who deserve a traitor's fate, especially when you consider the fact that American soldiers have been and continue to be placed in harm’s way. Thousands have died taking their last breath on foreign soil in the so-called war on terror. Unlike Senator Bayh and other members of “the bail-out boys”, these soldiers fought to the bitter end for honor and for country. Elected officials will never, ever be able to come up with an excuse good enough for bailing on America. Any politician thinking about going “Bayh-Bayh” needs to soldier up, sit their gavel-swinging ass down, break out the Louisville Slugger, which I call “an attitude adjuster”, and start doing what voters put them there to do.

The fact of the matter is the United States of America is teetering on the brink of economic, social and political collapse. Tensions are rising across the nation. Voters, after being raped by incompetent political representatives, have given birth to a political bastard called the Tea Party. Anger, anxiety, distrust, fear and uncertainty about the future have superceded “And to the Republic, for which it stands.” President Obama’s approval rating continues to plummet, and Madame Secretary Clinton has sounded very “hawkish” on Iran in recent weeks. Things certainly don’t appear to be getting any better, and I truly believe it all will culminate with something disastrous.

With the country in such turmoil, terrorists could see this as a perfect opportunity to launch an attack that would make the World Trade Center catastrophe pale in comparison. The situation in Washington, D.C. is very similar to a classic horror movie – the one where people are arguing about the best way to destroy the monster lurking outside. They’re all shouting and refuse to listen to one another when the monster suddenly bursts through the door and kills them. They didn’t pay attention to what was going on outside, and the monster took full advantage.

President Obama, his administration, the Congress and the Senate are the people arguing in the house. I guarantee you the terrorists are watching all of this, and it’s only a matter of time before they take advantage of the disorder, gridlock and incompetence and assume the role of monster. In the end, everyday Americans will become the sacrificial lambs in order to unify the country and end all the bickering, bitch slapping and finger pointing between the silver-haired fools on the hill. September 11^th has already proved that.

This commentary is from the heart…. and…From The G-Man.

Toxic Tea (Party) Ingredient!

Cover of sheet music for "We Are All Loyal Klansmen".
The song was released in 1923, but history is currently repeating itself. The KKK and other hate groups have successfully infiltrated The Tea Party movement under the guise of patriotism.

Palin, Brown & GOP Risking Political Suicide

Hey, America! I’m more confident than ever that news directors and producers at many of the mainstream media outlets have been reading my blog. They’ll never admit it because independent journalists and/or commentators aren’t taken very seriously by these organizations, even though the quality of our work equals or surpasses that of anchors, new writers and reporters at CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and others. What makes me so sure that they have one eye on the newswire and the other on The G-Man? Well, I’ve used certain descriptive terms in recent commentaries that are now being used in news broadcasts and feature segments. Let me give you an example.

I came up with the term “Jim Jones media” to illustrate how major news organizations in America have literally become cult-like because of their ability to develop a loyal following and distort or manipulate facts, truth and reality. Jim Jones was the charismatic “religious” leader of “The People’s Temple”, which was based in Guyana in the mid-to-late 70’s. Jones eventually murdered 900 of his worshipers by convincing them to ingest a cyanide-laced, orange-flavored drink called “Flavor Aid”. I was the very first writer in the country to warn the general public of the consequences of drinking the “media Kool-Aid” that news agencies were so found of serving up on a daily basis. Now, it seems like everyone is using the Kool-Aid term in media venues. Coincidence? I think not!

I’ve been watching this Tea Party movement ever since it surfaced last year. I find the coverage to be extremely interesting because the mainstream media is now serving up the poison in tea form. Fox News head Roger Ailes and other corporate news titans have provided around-the-clock coverage of the group’s momentum, and “tea-baggers”, as reported in publications from the Washington Post to the New York Times, are being credited with blocking many of President Obama’s and the Democratic Party’s initiatives, like the healthcare bill and proposed tax increases. However, what is also being reported, via the Anti-Defamation League, Huffington Post and Los Angeles Times, is that militia and hate groups have successfully infiltrated the predominately conservative movement.

Recent news reports indicate that Sarah “Buy My Damn Book” Palin, the poster child for the Republican Party, is a major Tea Party supporter, as are other prominent members of the Grand Old Party (GOP). I have a question for Palin, media sensation Scott Brown and every Conservative in America that recently jumped into bed with the so-called tea-baggers. Have you all lost your fucking minds? I truly believe that you have. Either that, or you just don’t give a shit about whom you associate with. In the end, it all comes down to securing those mid-term and long-term votes, huh? If that’s you position, then you’re a bunch of whores! The same goes for any dumbass Democrat looking for votes and singing the Tea Party’s praises. I’m an equal opportunity ass-kicker.

Anyone choosing to associate with a movement that embraces or includes racists, segregationists, white supremacists, Neo-Nazis, or those who pose a great threat to the safety and security of this nation and its people, is a goddamn fool! Apparently, Palin, Brown and a significant number of GOP reps had a mug or two of the media’s “tea”. That is the only logical explanation I could think of as to why they’d place themselves in a position to commit political suicide. I thought the goal of the Republican Party was to integrate their base, not segregate it. Having prominent Conservatives like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity tout the Tea Party movement as “good for the country”, when they know for a fact that hate groups are deeply entrenched, is dangerous, despicable and disturbing! Palin, Brown and their Republican co-horts better spit out the tea, and they’d better do it fast!

I want to close by speaking directly to every punk-ass “hater” that has infiltrated what might otherwise be a nice, law-abiding group of Americans that simply want their concerns addressed. You can get mad at me for making these statements. You can call me an asshole or even refer to me as an “uppity nigger” that needs to be taught a lesson. You can send me email threatening to hurt or kill me. I’m issuing a challenge to every one of you sorry bastards right here on the Internet. You go right ahead. I dare you! Seriously! You don’t scare me! I’ll just pee on your little swastika pamphlets or KKK-labeled flag, sit back and flip you the bird with great conviction. So, take your little asses back to your makeshift, paint ball training camps, drink your moonshine, and wait for federal agents to come and arrest you as “domestic terrorists”. I, as well as a majority of people in this country, don’t have time for your bullshit.

Folks, I don’t claim to be the Black Superman. I’m just a man with balls enough to call these people out for what they are and fight for what’s right. They’re nothing more than a bunch of goddamn cowards that are simply taking advantage of the country’s dire economic situation and the terrified people who want their jobs saved and voices heard. Surely, there are good, loving and righteous people incorporated in the Tea Party. We all know this. They have every right to express their anger, disgust and distrust of President Obama’s policies and the Democratic Party as a whole.

Having said that, I’m urging those good, God-fearing people and every Republican/Conservative politician, Palin and Brown in particular, to stand up and make it abundantly clear that the haters are not welcomed and will be dealt with in a just and swift fashion. If the GOP wants to regain the White House and public trust, this is a damn good place to start. The nation stands a far better chance of surviving the devastating economic crisis and uncertainty facing us all if we come together as one, as opposed to standing around with hate in our hearts and angrily calling someone a nigger, spic, kike or cracker.

'From The G-Man' Internet Show Debuts

In this no-holds-barred exclusive, Brucker reveals the "dark side" of comedy, her bout with alcohol and the constant fighting that takes place between many top female comedians.

April Brucker: The Superfox of Stand-Up

This is the moment all of my G-Fans have been waiting for. The premiere of my new Internet show, "From The G-Man", is here! It is an extension of my popular news and media blog. I would appreciate it if you all could put some time aside to check it out, share your thoughts, and forward it to as many people as possible to help me get exposure for it.

The G-Man's very first special guest is the multi-talented and controversial stand-up comedian April Brucker. The interview will certainly make many people, in and outside the world of comedy and entertainment, sit up and take notice. Brucker pulls no punches when discussing her previous bout with alcohol and prescription drugs, in-fighting between female comedians, the "dark side" of comedy, the Conan O'Brien/Jay Leno/NBC debacle, “safe comedians” Bill Cosby and Jerry Seinfeld, and the late, great shock comedy legends Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison.

This is one powerful episode you won't want to miss. Keep in mind that it was my very first show, so I was a little nervous and unsure of myself. I'm certain I'll get better with each show. This never would've been possible without the love and support of my growing fan base. I experienced a great deal of pain and angst in 2009, but I'm getting ready to write the biggest comeback story of 2010! Trust me on that. (Smiles)

Here’s the link to the show: http://vimeo.com/8899172

Enjoy, folks!!!

How the 'Democraps' Killed Camelot

The late, great "Lion of the Senate", Senator Ted Kennedy

Party In-Fighting & Brown Victory Destroyed Kennedy Legacy

Hey, America? Do you hear that? Listen carefully. If The G-Man isn’t mistaken, that sound you hear is the late Senator Ted Kennedy crying in his grave! The man known and loved as “The Lion of the Senate” has very good reason to cry. The voters of Massachusetts, the very state Kennedy and his legendary family have become synonymous with, have loudly rejected the agenda and policies of President Barack Obama and his party by electing Scott Brown, a rising star in the “Republicon” fold who will likely share the ticket with Sarah Palin in the 2012 presidential election.

The “Democraps” have no one to blame but themselves for this monumental defeat, and they ought to be deeply, deeply ashamed and embarrassed! They practically handed Kennedy’s senate seat to Brown after President Barack Obama and party members reneged on numerous campaign pledges and attempted to ram the health care bill down the throats of those who vehemently opposed it. The fact that constant political in-fighting was taking place only made matters worse. The final straw came when stalwart politicians, such as Senator Chris Dodd, decided to bail on the administration one after the other. In my opinion, Dodd’s decision to haul ass was a clear indication to many Massachusetts voters that the Obama administration was in serious trouble and that Democraps were not unified in any sense of the word.

I’m finally beginning to understand why the symbol for Democraps is a jackass. They are the stupidest group of people on the face of the earth! I mean, really! How else could you explain screwing up a colossal opportunity that was handed to them by voters in 2008? The election of President Barack Obama was unprecedented on a number of levels. The election unified the country. Well, if you don’t include those fools in the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nation. The country, as well as many of our allies, had renewed hope after Bush, Cheney and the hawks were exorcised from the White House. Having the First Family on the covers of Ebony, Essence and Jet magazine confirmed that black is beautiful. It even got to the point where dogs and cats put their differences aside to compete on “Dancing with the Stars”. Folks, it was a beautiful and monumental period in time.

Now, thanks to sheer stupidity, indecisiveness, numerous political missteps and inept leadership on the part of Democraps across the board, the moral conviction and legacy of one of American’s greatest liberal politicians has been completely vanquished. Many lifelong Kennedy supporters are feeling the pain now, but no one is feeling it more than the President of the United States. The G-Man is guaranteeing it. He can downplay the Brown victory all he wants by stating, “We can’t win them all”, but I’m certain President Obama said and felt something entirely different behind closed doors as the First Lady consoled him on the night of the election.

As many of you know, Senator Ted Kennedy was of Irish decent. There is a very interesting correlation between my declaration - Kennedy is crying in his grave - and the legendary banshee. In Irish folklore, a banshee is described as follows: a spirit in the form of a wailing woman who appears to or is heard by members of a family as a sign that one of them is about to die. Well, with Republicons snatching key victories in Virginia, New Jersey and now Massachusetts, the late senator may also be wailing because the upcoming mid-term elections could mark the death of the political family he has loved and symbolized for over 40 years.

Jay Leno vs. "The Legacy"

NBC Could Make Comic Scapegoat in "Tonight Show" Demise

The following is an open letter to legendary comedian Jay Leno:

Dear Mr. Leno,

I hate to say it, but I knew this experiment was doomed right from the start. The G-Man had a gut feeling that ‘The Jay Leno Show” would bomb simply because NBC programming execs can’t seem to do anything right. They figured it would be a good idea to air the show a few months after you handed the reigns of “The Tonight Show” to Conan O’Brien. It amounted to nothing more than an exercise in futility, and it’s because of decisions like this that NBC’s ratings are in the toilet with yesterday’s lunch.

My “G-Fans” know me as a straight-shooter, and given the fact that you work in an industry overrun with backstabbers, bullies and bullshitters, I’m sure you will appreciate a little hardcore honesty. Please listen up because the proceeding paragraphs are extremely important. Hopefully, they will help you form a decision about not only your legacy, but Johnny Carson’s as well.

The G-Man was rooting for you, and I really wanted the show to succeed. I’m sure the majority of your fans did, too. Unfortunately, what you, Kevin Eubanks and the writing team gave us was “The Tonight Show Lite”, and many are still reeling from the bitter aftertaste. You did have your moments, like the powerful interview segment with Kanye West, but it apparently became an uphill battle from that point on. The deal was done, and the NBC “suits” probably didn’t want you to deviate from the show’s format. Your hands were tied, but the viewers’ thumbs were squarely placed on the remote.

NBC hasn’t confirmed anything regarding your show, Conan O’Brien’s future, or the rumors that are circulating in Hollywood and on the Internet. The only thing they’ve said is that no decisions or announcements will be made until after the Winter Olympics in February. One rumor says that NBC is planning to move your show to the 11:30 time slot. If that happens the network will be placing you in a really jacked up position. Mr. Leno, if you accept the offer, you will technically alter "The Tonight Show’s" history, time slot and following. Is that something you would really welcome?

UPDATE: January 10, Pasadena, California - Yahoo News has reported that NBC Universal Television Entertainment Chairman Jeff Gaspin said Sunday that Leno's nightly prime-time show will end with the beginning of the Winter Olympics on Feb. 12.

I’m sorry, but ratings don’t lie. Conan O’Brien sucks in the current time slot, and if NBC pushes the show back an hour in favor of your show, I guarantee you that no one is going to stay up past 12:05 to watch a pale imitation of the Tonight Show! In America, you don’t mess with tradition. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s a major reason why you ride Harleys, right? I really don’t know you, but I suspect you would not want to destroy Johnny Carson's legacy and would respectfully decline such an offer from NBC. In my honest opinion, that would be the right thing to do.

I just don’t’ understand the suits over at NBC. I really don’t, Mr. Leno. Even with David Letterman’s parading penis problems, he is still managing to kick Conan O’Brien’s ass in the battle for late night supremacy. If execs were really serious about reclaiming their Tonight Show fan base and number one ranking, there’s a very simple way to do it. If I were the head of NBC, I would take a page out of the master’s playbook, Johnny Carson, and rotate the host Monday through Friday. For example, Monday: Billy Crystal, Tuesday: Robin Williams, Wednesday: Whoopi Goldberg, Thursday: Jerry Seinfeld, Friday: Eddie Murphy.... ect. Show a little courage and innovation, and get rid of the idea of having a regular host.

If NBC moves "The Tonight Show....with Conan O'Brien" to a 12:05 time slot, it could signal the end of an American institution...and Johnny Carson's legacy.

The ratings could also be kicked up a notch by rotating actors - Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson or Denzel Washington - and musicians – Queen Latifah, Lady Gaga or the Jonas Brothers. I would imagine scores of big-name celebrities would jump at the chance to host. Here's the best part. It could be set up in a way that the public and the entertainment industry would never know who the host would be from one night to the next! It would be a complete surprise, and that would be the big hook to make people tune in each night. A move like this would likely expand the show’s creative boundaries, its demographic and completely revamp the show for a new generation.

Now, if you reach out to certain celebrities and they bitch about “pitching in” to help maintain the legacy, especially the ones that Carson introduced to America, then NBC could step in and remind them that they wouldn’t have a damn career were it not for the Tonight Show. Period! Doing the show this way would also ensure that there is a little something for everyone, instead of shoving Conan O'Brien’s brand of comedy and entertainment down America's throat. For the record, I think O'Brien is an extremely gifted writer and comedian, but the ratings have proven that his brand of schtick just doesn't work with the general public. If he truly cares about the Tonight Show and Carson’s legacy, he’d put pride and ego aside and do what’s right for the show and NBC if ratings continue to tank. You don’t force a dog to walk if its hind legs are severely broken.

Mr. Leno, I’m just a journalist/writer with a little blog that’s trying to obtain a larger fan base and creative writing opportunities. I don’t expect the suits at NBC or anyone in the entertainment industry to listen to me or take this article seriously, but they will listen to you. Therefore, I urge you to consider all that I have stated in this letter. Don’t allow yourself to be guinea pig in another failed experiment. Instead, cut a nice “walk-away” deal with the network to end your show and help save an American institution by becoming an adviser or creative consultant for NBC. If anyone is capable of giving the Tonight Show one hell of a surge in the ratings, it’s you. That’s why Carson picked you in the first place.

This letter is from the heart…and…From The G-Man.

EA Sports Prez Makes Right Call

Peter Moore, President of Electronic Arts (EA) Sports

Company Stands By Tiger Woods & New Game

It seems that at least one Tiger Woods sponsor agrees with The G-Man. In recent weeks, a number of corporate sponsors ran or distanced themselves from the golfing legend because of his admitted infidelity. I blasted them in a previous article, Tiger Woods: Protecting an Endangered Species, and explained why they were wrong to dump Woods in such an abrupt and callous fashion. Well, Peter Moore, President of Electronic Arts (EA Sports), has publicly announced that the company has decided to support Tiger Woods by moving forward with plans to release its new PGA Tour Online game, which prominently displays Woods’ name and image.

Moore issued the following comment on the company’s blog on January 4. “Our relationship with Tiger has always been rooted in golf. We didn't form a relationship with him so that he could act as an arm's length endorser. Far from it. We chose to partner with Tiger in 1997 because we saw him as the world's best, most talented and exciting golfer." Without question, Moore is a brilliant businessman whose balls are as big as his bank account.

Moore and the members of his Board of Directors took one hell of a risk in deciding to stick by Woods, and they all get major kudos from The G-Man for doing so. They placed the focus squarely on his athletic abilities and phenomenal contribution to the sport of golf. Brilliant decision! The sniveling cowards over at Accenture, AT&T and Proctor and Gamble sucked down that Jim Jones-media Kool-Aid, succumbed to the fear and ignorance that was generated within the New York Stock Exchange, and turned their back on man that also has an outstanding charitable record. Asshole decision! These guys couldn’t find their balls if they were carrying them in their briefcases.

Quite frankly, I hope the dorks choke on the Kool-Aid and their decision. They all will be very, very sorry. Remember this, folks. They pissed on Vanessa Williams’ Miss America crown when racy Penthouse photos of her surfaced back in 1984. She lost the crown and a number of potentially lucrative endorsements, but she rebounded from all the controversy and went on to earn Grammy, Emmy and Tony nominations. Mark my words. Tiger Woods will give an interview at some point, tee-off on all those who left him for dead, and eventually reclaim his status as a beloved humanitarian and the greatest golfer on the globe!

In closing, I just want to say something to many, not all, of the dickhead news directors at the major cable and network stations. Tiger Woods gets caught dipping his sand wedge in the grassy knoll and you provide 24-hour coverage; including interviews with the no-good, gold-digging she-devils that decided to come forward after all this time. Famed actor Charlie Sheen pulls a gun on his wife, threatens to “shoot the bitch” and it gets as much coverage as Regis Philbin in Atlantic City on New Year’s Eve!

What the hell is wrong with you ass-clowns? Oh, my bad! I just figured it out. Getting ass on the side takes precedence over extreme violence against women. Nice! They actually give you people journalism awards for this shit, too? I guess Sheen would’ve had to actually kill his wife in order to get as much coverage, if not more, as Tiger Woods got. Am I right? Don’t bother answering. I wouldn’t want to disturb you from mixing up some more of that nasty ass Kool-Aid that you’ve become so fond of.

This commentary was from the heart.....and…. From The G-Man.

Tiger Woods: Protecting an Endangered Species

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his New York Post publication
have been relentless in their effort to castrate Tiger Woods

Sponsors Wrong for Bailing On Golf Great!

People? People!!! Don’t act like you can’t hear me. It’s pretty hard to ignore The G-Man once he gets going. The United States of America is in a very, very bad state. I’m not referring to the recession, global warming or the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. I’m talking about the fact that we’ve become so goddamn transfixed by the lives of celebrities that we lose sight of the things that are vitally important. It’s absolutely incredible how callous, ignorant and insensitive we’re becoming as a nation, and I’ll bet our allies and enemies are having one hell of a laugh at our expense.

Everyone from the global media to fellow golfers has piled on Tiger Woods since admitting he cheated on his wife, and things only got worse after a bevy of skanks surfaced with claims that they also polished the legendary golfer’s “sand wedge”. Yes, I called them skanks because that’s just what the hell they are. Wake up, America! Don’t you find it odd that none of them had anything to say when they first hooked up with Woods or during the entire course of their alleged affairs? Oh, but the gold digging sluts slithered out of the woodwork once they saw an opportunity to shove the knife in his back, make money or get their 15-minutes of fame, didn’t they? Still, there were those who chastised Woods, abandoned him and kicked him when he was down. Tiger Woods messed up, big time, but he doesn't deserve to be raked over the coals.

These two-bit, money-grubbing banshees are more than deserving of the skank title, and the majority of people lusting for more information about Tiger’s indiscretions need to take a hard look in the mirror .…. so they can see the ugly staring back. They need to see how they’re being transformed into media zombies - whose thirst can only be quenched with the blood of a wounded Tiger. Well, for those of you who want to be saved from the hellish transformation, The G-Man has an antidote. It’s called the truth, and I’m about to shove the needle in even deeper!

Former basketball superstar Charles Barkley and filmmaker Spike Lee have publicly expressed concern for the safety of Woods. They believe all the negative media attention and lost endorsements could place the golfer in a suicidal state of mind. If it should come to this, heaven forbid, The G-Man would place all of the blame squarely on Rupert Murdoch and his toilet paper tabloid, “The New York Post”. Both have been relentless in their attempt to demean and castrate Woods. The proof is in the fact that they've lampooned him and the situation on every front cover since the story broke. In my humble opinion, Murdock and the Post editors are straight-up dicks! Yeah, I said it. Go ahead and sue my black ass.

I lost all respect for The Post when it published that despicable cartoon comparing President Obama to a chimp. The editorial staff's decision to publish a full-length photo of a 15-year-old girl as she lay bleeding on the sidewalk, after being struck in the head by a stray bullet, really pissed me off, too! To their credit, the New York Daily News published the same photo and only showed the facial expressions of the victim’s friends and relatives as they stood over her body. That is responsible journalism at its best! Now you have a pretty good idea as to why I only use the New York Post to wipe my ass.

There are two more things I want to say regarding the “Simpsonization” – as in O.J. Simpson - of Tiger Woods. There were pro-golfers who sought out the media in effort to bash Woods. They called him a phony, a liar and a con man. The G-Man doesn’t blame them. Hey, if I got my ass handed to me by Tiger Woods at every tournament I ever played in, I’d seek some form of revenge, too. Instead of bashing him like a bunch of little punks, they really need to shut the hell up! Lord knows, they all have probably done something in their lifetime to shame themselves and loved ones. The only difference is they were lucky not to have their dirt publicized. I want all of those pencil-necked golfing pros to do me a favor. Sit your plaid-Knickers-wearing, loud shirt sporting, 18-hole-playing asses down and suck on a bottle of Yoo-hoo! None of you are fit to carry Woods' golf shoes.

Secondly, the last time I checked, only one person was perfect enough to feed five thousand people with just fives loaves of bread and two small fish; turn water into wine and walk on water. No one on this planet is capable of such feats because we’re mere mortals. Moreover, as mere mortals, it is part of our DNA to fuck up every now and then. Why the hell do you think the term “I’m sorry” was invented? Hallmark and 1-800 FLOWERS have made billions from faithful and unfaithful people!

All of the advertisers that are bailing on Woods are publicly saying they want a perfect human being as their spokesperson. Excuse me!!!! You stuffed shirts at Accenture and other Fortune 500 companies can’t be that damn stupid; not when some of you may have cheated on your tax returns or banged your hot-ass secretary - like a screen door caught in a hurricane - on those extended business trips. Folks, did you hear the collective gasp of every well-to-do housewife in America that read the previous line? They're not stupid. They know what time it is. I'll go as far as to say that some of the execs that dumped Woods may have spent time in jail or did a stint in rehab. My point is everybody has skeletons lurking in the closet, so let’s not fool ourselves or treat Woods like he's the worst person on the planet.

Thanks to each corporate sponsor's asinine, knee-jerk reaction to the scandal, they lost sight of the fact that Woods has also done some major good through his charitable work and within the Professional Golfers Association. The sponsors and ad execs drank the nasty Kool-Aid that the Jim Jones media loves to serve up, and they ended up throwing the baby out with the bath water. They were wrong to do that. Tigers are fast becoming an endangered species all over the world, and given his rare and amazing contribution to the sport of golf, this Tiger, flaws and all, should also be preserved and protected.

"White House Crashers" Must Go To Jail!

President Obama and the First Lady could've met the same fate as President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Breaching National Security Cannot Be Tolerated

The G-Man is absolutely furious, America! I’ve refrained from addressing this issue since the story broke, but I can't contain myself any longer. Michaele and Tareq Salahi were somehow able to penetrate Secret Service security details, crash the annual White House State Dinner and get face-to-face with the First Couple, as well as Vice-President Joe Biden. Oh, but they didn’t stop there! The couple actually posted photos of their dastardly deed on Facebook for the entire world to see. Moreover, it is alleged that the whole incident was set up to secure the couple a spot on a reality-based TV show entitled, “The Real Housewives of Washington”.

Why isn’t the country still in an uproar over this? Why isn’t the White House going after this couple with reckless abandon? Yes, I know the economy and the fact that 30,000 more soldiers are being sent to war in Afghanistan are issues of vital importance right now, but I would argue that this incident is equally important for two key reasons. First of all, the very fact that someone was able to get this close President Obama and the First Lady is frightening and shameful. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is a major first.

For one moment, let’s just forget the fact that this is a wholesome, sweet couple. Now, I admit that’s a stretch, with all the dirt that has come out about them, but dance with The G-Man on this one for just a bit. If they were trained assassins, President Obama and the First Lady would be dead and black Americans, particularly in the decimated inner cities, would've retaliated all across the country.

The emotional reaction would've far exceed the aftermath of the Rodney King verdict in Los Angeles, and white people would've been forced to cower in fear because this time inner city residents would seek to burn and destroy white communities. America would've fallen under martial law, and race relations would've reach critical mass. I guess I’m the only one in the media with enough balls to raise this issue, huh? People need to thank God for “Kool-Aid free” journalists and commentators. They really do.

The pundits and analysts making all that noise about the Salahis not being armed or ever posing a threat need to slapped! Anyone with half a brain knows that an assassin can simply break one of the crystal glasses on the dinner table, place a sharp edge in their pocket and ram it into the leader of the free world’s throat when they shake hands. The female assassin could finish off the First Lady in the same manner. Given the fact that this couple so easily bypassed security, they proved, unequivocally, that anything is possible.

Some of you may be laughing at my scenario - saying it’s far-fetched or that I’ve watched too many James Bond movies. Well, I would simply say this. No one in the world ever imagined the towers of the World Trade Center would fall, either. Simply put, shit can and does happen! With that said, I dare you to dismiss my scenario.

The second reason this matter is of vital importance is because it involves national security. If you think would-be assassins and terrorists didn’t take notice of how easy it was to breach White House security, you’d better think again. I would be willing to bet that extremists, here in America and abroad, are not only laughing at the U.S. about this extremely dangerous and embarrassing incident, they’re probably conjuring up some very creative and brilliant ideas on how to infiltrate the president’s Secret Service detail. The Salahis have no idea how much internal and external damage they have caused by their stupid, selfish and self-promoting act.

I may be out of place to do so, but I’m going to publicly make two requests of President Obama and his administration, and I’m going to make them without reservation. Number one, have prosecutors get busy and find a way to throw the Salahi’s White House-crashing, First Couple-hugging, Joe-Biden picture-taking, reality TV show-wanting asses in federal prison! They have to be taught a serious lesson and made an example of. The office of the presidency, vice-presidency and national security are at stake.

There is absolutely no excuse for willfully breaching or compromising national security, and you know this, Mr. President! With all due respect, I believe President George W. Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney and ranking members of the Republican Party would've wanted the couple's heads on a platter! I certainly hope your administration will handle this in a stern and immediate fashion, Mr. President.

Secondly, if this stunt really was done to secure a reality TV show deal, the White House needs to implicate and prosecute the stupid network that may have aided and abetted the Salahis in successfully gaining entry. I’ll go out on a limb and say I believe they did have assistance in pulling this off, which would explain why they hired an attorney and have recently decided to hide behind the Fifth Amendment, like the little punks that they are, if called before the courts.

The Salahis have laughed and smiled there way through this ordeal, but you can bet they won't be laughing or smiling in their jail cells.....where they belong. Don't let them pass go or collect $200. Send them straight to jail! Period! This isn’t “Punk’d” with Ashton Kutcher, Mr. President. This is a matter of grave importance. The G-Man is urging your administration to lay the smack down on this couple, uphold the office of the presidency and let it be known that matters involving the national security of this country are not to be taken lightly.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Lifestyle

Tiger Woods Is Latest Victim of "The Curse"

Every now and then, The G-Man gets knocked around like a big, fat piñata because of positions he’s taken or for slamming politicians and celebrities. Sometimes, I even got my feelings hurt. Yeah, right! The truth is the attacks never really bothered me because I was always confident that something would happen to validate the comments or vindicate me. Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation regarding legendary golfer Tiger Woods has vindicated me…. once again.

Woods, like so many other wealthy saps, has become the latest victim of what I refer to as “the curse” or “the three pees”. I had a great deal to say on the subject when I addressed it several months ago, and you can read the article by clicking on the following: http://fromthegman.blogspot.com/2009/07/power-prestige-and-pussy.html

Once details of the Woods incident started to emerge, I suddenly realized I wrote an article about Woods a number of years ago entitled “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Racists”. I pulled the article from my archives and was absolutely stunned because the article contained a dire prediction for Woods that has, unfortunately, come to pass. I have taken the liberty of posting the article below. Brace yourselves for a prediction that was made more than eight years ago.

“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Racist”

(Initially published in “The Wave of Long Island” – April of 2001)

Let’s hear it for Tiger Woods! In past years, this darling of the media has made all the right moves to become one of the most beloved superstars in the world of sports. I guess you could call him the Michael Jordan of golf. He has changed the game as we know it, and many say that he is just starting to reach his golfing potential. I’m not so sure about that, given his poor performance in recent competitions.

The fact that Woods has reached legendary status, while still in his youth, is a scary thought. However, there is something much more frightening within the world of golf, and I don’t think Tiger can be considered a true hero until he is willing to speak out against this ugly reality. Many of the major tournaments, like The Masters or The Bob Hope Classic, are often played on some of the most beautiful and breathtaking courses in the country. The lakes are crystal clear. The grass is emerald green. The sand is a sparkling yellow, and the people who are exclusive members are as white as the driven snow.

The sponsors and beneficiaries of these courses and clubs also tilt in favor of the Caucasian persuasion, and they have made it abundantly clear that no other groups are welcomed. This is the dirty little secret of the golfing world, and no one has every really addressed it in the cowardly American media. So, The G-man is going to tee-off on the subject. Four!!!!

There are a number of complaints and lawsuits on record that clearly illustrate how racism is alive and well throughout the golfing circuit. While most involve the smaller courses around the country, charges have been brought against clubs that have hosted major competitions in the past. The lawsuits, filed by the Anti-Defamation League and the NAACP, charged that certain clubs and organizations excluded Jews, Asians and African-Americans from becoming members. The suits also revealed the staggering percentage of white memberships versus minorities, which was somewhere in the area of 95 percent to a paltry 5 percent.

The most astonishing aspect about all this is the fact that many of the members staunchly defended their position to keep the clubs exclusively white. They claimed it was part of a tradition or some nonsense. Sadly, this is probably the sentiment of a good number of people who enjoy these so-called exclusive memberships. I am amazed at the level of hypocrisy with regard to the "acceptance" of Tiger Woods by the golfing world.

I watched the spectators cheer wildly, most of them white, when he sank the putt to capture his first Masters trophy. I could not help asking myself, "Why do they embrace him so easily and deny others of color an opportunity to ever play on their courses?" Is it the fact that he is successful? Is it the fact that he has made millions and could possibly to become the first billionaire in the world of sports? Is it because he is the product of an interracial union, which gives them this silly notion that he really isn’t black? Is it because he exclusively dated white women, married a Swede, or dyes his hair blond on occasion? If it is the money and status, then that’s a bunch of crap because there are plenty of Jews, Asians and African-Americans who have both and they still aren’t allowed access.

I am not "hating" on Tiger Woods. I’m proud of his accomplishments, and he is an outstanding role model for young people all over the world. However, I take issue with the fact that he has chosen to ignore an aspect of golf that is so painfully obvious for many inside and outside of the sport. He has all the praise and accolades that he could ever obtain in life, but he would be a true hero and leader if he simply came out and addressed this issue. Imagine the impact it would have on society if he said something like the following:

"While I have managed to break new ground and records in the sport of golf, there are those who have been excluded from the game, and they have not had an opportunity to develop their full potential as golfers in the pro and amateur circuits. This cannot continue, and I ask that people in all facets of the golfing circuit work to insure that this practice is halted."

Granted, his words may fall on deaf ears, and he may even lose a number of endorsement deals, but to hell with that! At the very least, a light would be shed on a very serious problem within the sport he has literally transformed.

Finally, I would like to offer an additional piece of advice to Tiger Woods. As quickly as you have been embraced by the white masses, more specifically the white media, you must remember that they will turn on you just as quickly if you allow yourself to become "Simpsonized". There are some striking similarities between you and O.J., and you could find yourself in the role of villain if you’re not careful.

People started out worshipping O.J. too, but the minute he jacked up it was all over! Don’t let success, fame, fortune and hype destroy you like it did O.J. You are much higher on the fame, respect and status meter than "The Juice", but that only means that you will fall faster and harder than he ever did the minute something negative or extremely controversial impacts your life; such as allegations that you beat your former girlfriends or being accused of rape by a beauty pageant contestant. Don’t ever forget why you got into the game or where you came from. If you remain true to yourself, you will never stray off course.

Looks like I nailed it, again, didn’t I? Tiger Woods has given new meaning to the term "sinking the putt".
