... Like Patton said about Rommel: " You magnificent Bast###, I read your book." Maybe Tiger didn't read it, but his swing is in the yellow.

Well said, dodger. Thanks!

While I'm at it, and this is an unabashed threadjack having absolutely nothing to do with golf . . .

A big Thanksgiving Thank-You to:

The late General George Patton (that self-described "Son of a Goddamned bitch, Georgie Patton") http://www.geoffmetcalf.com/patton_20010914.html . . .

The U.S. Third Army http://www.arcent.army.mil/. . .

And to all our courageous U.S. sevice men and women and those who have gone before -- expecting little and sacrificing much -- all while securing for "we the people" the liberty we enjoy today.

I understand that, in this 'new age' of entitlement and "Entertainment Tonight", these kudos rankle.

For those so affected, get over it.

From those of us who have served . . .

And from the countless beneficiaries who cherish their freedom; who 'get it'; and who stand strong . . .

We say:

Be very careful.

Those who would risk the United States of America to achieve their own personal, political or religious ends are treading on hallowed ground.

And there are many of us, indeed, a majority of us, who simply ain't gonna let that happen.
