Turkeys, Traditions and Families On The Fabulous Beekman Boys Farm
Thanksgiving on The Fabulous Beekman Boys. Oh my. It’s either a great joy or a profound nightmare, depending on your familial situation and your propensity to binge. I could see it going either way at Beekman, and given that we know the farm is haunted… Continue reading

A Room Without Rants: Where Reasonable Theists and Atheists Meet
They talk a lot, and loudly, and all at the same time. If they were your family during Thanksgiving, they’d be talking with their mouths full. It would be almost amusing if it weren’t, on some important level, rather tragic.
I’m referring, of course, to the nonstop talking heads who can be found at almost any hour of the day, talking nonstop, all over television and radio. They talk about everything and nothing, so much so that they actually blur the distinction between talking about something and talking about nothing. They are, alas, the face — or perhaps I should say the food-stuffed mouth — of public discourse.

Tiger Woods, Wife Were Suspected Of Domestic Violence
The Florida Highway Patrol released new documents about Tiger Woods’ post-Thanksgiving car crash today. Perhaps the biggest revelation from the new files is that paramedics denied Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren (PHOTOS), access to the ambulance because a domestic violence incident was suspected:
As the paramedics loaded [Woods] into a Health Central Ambulence one of the crew stated that [Woods'] wife could not go in ambulance because this was a domestic.
Suicide Is Not Painless
Well, lately it is in the news because famous people, and/or their family members, have chosen to end their own lives. In the last few weeks we have lost: Alexander (Lee) McQueen, Andrew Koenig and now Michael Blosil (Marie Osmond’s son). It is so tragic and so painful for those who are left behind.
My brother took his own life a year and a half ago on Thanksgiving weekend. Shot himself with a gun that his best friend had tried to take away. My brother threatened to call the police and tell them that his friend had stolen the gun. Not wanting to get in legal trouble, my brother’s friend returned the gun. That same friend is the one who found his body.
Tiger Woods’ Sponsor: ‘There Is Zero Damage’
Tiger Woods has lost a handful of sponsors since his post-Thanksgiving car crash led to the public outing of a series of alleged mistresses. Accenture was the first major company to drop Woods, followed in December by AT&T. Just last week, Gatorade also dumped the golfer.
The abandonment is not universal, however. Nike continues to back Woods, and new comments from Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Tag Heuer, suggest the watchmaker won’t be leaving Tiger anytime soon.

Tiger, Toyota and the Truth
Last Friday we put another pop culture moment in the capsule for our time. Where were YOU when Tiger spoke, looked and hugged? After three months of letting others control his story, Tiger finally reclaimed a little of the control he had mastered so expertly before Thanksgiving. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a celebrity or a company – Tiger or Toyota – the first step to recovery is to admit that you’ve made a mistake.
Tiger waited three months before coming forward because of his desire for privacy. Indeed, his boat is named “Privacy,” but perhaps a better name would be “Reality.” In 2010, when you’re the top athlete in the world and you commit an indiscretion, any desire for privacy is not realistic. The psychological question at hand might be, “Didn’t he realize he’d get caught in this day and age – and did he care?”

The Volcker Rule
It’s pretty clear the most disgruntled man in Washington 15 days ago was Paul Volcker. He had been pounding the table to bring back Glass Steagall since Thanksgiving, and had been consistently ignored by the Obama administration. He clearly stated the only invention worth a damn to come from the banking system in the last 20 years was the ATM machine.
Mr. Voclker, the man who was Chairman of the Federal Reserve under Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, is an old fashioned banker, one of the few men who could bring our system back into line. But he had become a Cabinet outcast, the 12th man on the deal team, and I even heard rumors he threatened to walk. Until last week, when he suddenly leap-frogged the teacher’s pets Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Larry Summers, Head of the White House Economic Team. This stalwart supporter of Obama during the election, with more experience than Geithner and Summers combined, was suddenly heard like a Confederate artillery shell at the Battle of Antietem.
