Tiger Woods tries long drive, misses fairway, hits water hazard and ends up in the trees. And this all happened while he was backing out of his garage. The golf star was treated and released at a local hospital.
Freepers boycott Best Buy for acknowledging Muslim holiday. When the electronics retailer wished its employees a “Happy Eid al-Adha” (a Muslim holiday where its adherents give to charity) little did it know it would spark a firestorm, earning the scorn of the ultra right-wing publication, Free Republic.

Prosecutors in the tiny Utah community of American Fork have refused comment, other than to emphasize that the town is “finally cracking down on social ills like rapping, multi-culturalism, weird dancing and other public nuisances.” The case has garnered intense media attention, with an unnamed production company considering the story for a sequel to Footloose.

In fact, no one was the wiser until the Salahis started telling dirty jokes at the table, raising eyebrows and prompting a review of the guest list. Secret Service agents then whisked the uninvited interlopers out the door, but not before Barack and Michelle thanked them for the nice bottle of pino noir they brought as a gift.
