Junkies and Enablers

As you might have heard, The Masters gets underway today.  Tiger Woods tees it up this afternoon, making his reappearance in professional golf since his little Thanksgiving turkey trot and subsequent unmasking.  But this piece isn’t just about Tiger.  It’s about you and your business.  You see, Tiger had a bunch of people helping him to do all those horrible things to feed his addictions.  Every junkie has them – people who buy alcoholics drinks, let junkies in their medicine cabinets, lend money to gamblers.  They’re the enablers and in many ways they’re just as screwed up.  Thing is, you just might be one.

Tin Ear

Sometimes you just have to say you can’t make this stuff up.

As I’m hitting the computer this morning, Twitter is buzzing over a big aftershock that hit Haiti. Horrible breaking news that affects millions of people and, now, thousands of relief workers as well.

I read in the Times online about the election result in Massachusetts and how it could affect the lives of millions by impacting the health care legislation.

As I’m getting ready to go to some meetings today, I flipped on The Today Show thinking I’d learn a little more about these topics on the 7:30 news update. Right?

Not so much. Top Story? A rumor that Tiger Woods is at a sex rehab clinic in Mississippi, complete with a live stand-up from a reporter NBC sent there, a story that impacts 2 people directly.  Frankly, I was so shocked by the choice of stories that I didn’t really hear what the guy was saying other than that the clinic is becoming a tourist attratction.

NBC News is a respected news organization that ought to know a lot better.  Or maybe I’m the one with a tin ear and not their producers.  What do you think?

Careful Please

Hands up – how many of you sat around the Thanksgiving table and professed thanks for the gifts you’ve been given while secretly wishing for something more? What do I mean?

Not me, thanks. Continue reading
