...thing this compares to is when Tiger Woods used to lead the World Golf Rankings by the same distance that stood between the second-ranked player and the 200 millionth player in the world. But that was before Woods left Butch Harmon, put on some weight and married that Swedish model and former nanny. (On this note, I have a plan. We must prohibit all Swedish models from visiting or attending Harvard. Well, actually, having a quick look around campus, a ban like that might already be in place...
...anti - gay contingent can claim its martyrs, too. In the picturesque town of Borgholm on the Swedish island of Oland, only a small crowd was present in July, 2003 to hear Pentecostal preacher Ake Green deliver a sermon titled: "Is Homosexuality Genetic or an Evil Force Playing Mind Games With People?" Green denounced "sexual abnormalities" such as homosexuality and warned that Sweden was "facing a disaster of great proportions" because of its registered partnerships for gay couples.

Yet all this fame has come to the wrong V.S. Naipaul...
Finally, a plausible explanation for TIGER WOODS' recent subpar game: the former No. 1 golfer, now ranked third, was busy playing wedding planner. Woods, 28, married his Swedish sweetie, ELIN NORDEGREN, 24, last week at a swank and secluded Barbados resort. As bridesmaids in seafoam green dresses and guests Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley looked on, the couple said, "I do," amid armed guards and thousands of roses. To start their honeymoon, the duo boarded a yacht called Privacy. We assume the Leave Us the Heck Alone cruiser was booked...
