Tiger’s Ex-wife Destroys A Perfectly Good Mansion

The ReadyWriter

Elin Nordegren purchased a 12 million dollar mansion in Florida shortly after divorcing Tiger Woods. The beautiful sprawling property had eight bathrooms, six bedrooms, a swimming pool and several other amenities one can get use too.

But apparently, Elin felt the modest 6 bedroom, 8 bathroom pad wasn’t quite up to her standards … so she KNOCKED THE WHOLE DAMN MANSION DOWN! That’s right she bulldozed it.

Word on the street is, Nordegren has hired a high-priced architect to build her dream home … and sources say every single worker is required to sign a confidentiality agreement.

No word on how long the project is expected to take — but the internet is all abuzz because Elin is living in a nearby mansion inside the private community while the new place is under construction.

Guess it’s nice to be rich.

“School Shooting In Brazil Leave 12 Kids Dead”

The ReadyWriter

A crazed madman walked into a Rio de Janeiro middle school in Brazil on yesterday and massacred 10 girls and two boys. As the crazed madman lined the students up against a wall he yelled “I’m going to kill you all”.

The killer has been identified as Wellington Menezes de Oliveira, 24, a former student at the school, who arrived with two guns at 8:30 a.m and told staff members he was there for a lecture before he opened fire. The meyhem and chaos had the students running for their lives.

The gunman also had a white bedsheet and a suicide note that read “virgins should use it to wrap his naked body.”

“I must be seen as an authentic and faithful follower of God and there must be prayers at my grave asking God’s pardon for what I did so that Jesus will grant me the sleep of death for eternal life,” the note said. He added that, “he wanted prayers said over his grave.”

“We believe he was a psychopath,” said Assistant Police Chief Roberto Sa.

Simone Gold, 41, a hairdresser in Astoria, Queens said, she moved to New York eight years ago because the violence in Brazil is a big problem.

“One of the reasons I came to the U.S. was lack of safety,” she said. “I lived two years in Rio de Janeiro and I would never know if my kids would come home alive from school.”

“Why Is There Order And No Looting In Japan?”

The ReadyWriter

As I was listening to the news this morning, one of all the heartbreaking and uplifting stories coming out of quake-hit country, and the most talked about is the lack of looting even in the hardest hit areas.

The media is apparently searching for images of looting among the devastation and are shocked to find, there is none.

Contrast to the media coverage of the widespread looting in post-Katrina New Orleans that was split down racial lines. The media’s coverage of the looting in New Orleans was shamefully biased.

White looters were described as “recovering” basic items necessary for survival — such as bottled water and detergent, while blacks were portrayed as looters scavenging for beer and cigarettes.

While the media never tires of reporting on the looting, pillaging and rapes that continue to plague the Haitian people.

But in Japan, where people generally look out for one another, the media is reduced to settling for images of “solidarity” among the Japanese people. “Perhaps even more impressive than Japan’s technological power is its social strength…” writes a British reporter. “This is quite unusual among human cultures,” he adds.

It’s also quite unusual for the media to notice.

“Giant Tsunami Hits Japan And Sweeps Houses And Cars”

The ReadyWriter

More than 160 people are feared dead after a giant tsunami wave rolled across Japan sweeping homes, cars and debris with it early this morning.

The victims thus far, include 100 passengers on a cruise ship that was swept away by the tsunami. Shocking images of the carnage dominated national and international headlines this morning.

In the photo above, a small pleasure boat became trapped in the center of a gigantic vortex created by the tsunami. The boat went under water taking an unknown number of souls with it.

According to The Daily Mail, the Japanese declared a state of emergency at a nuclear power plant in Fukushima after the 8.9 quake caused the cooling system to fail. Massive fireballs caused by explosions at an oil refinery scorched the sky.

A tsunami is formed when an earthquake shifts the ocean floor hundreds of miles out in the ocean. The pressure from the shifting plates creates a ripple effect in the water that gathers strength as the giant waves roll out from the epicenter toward land.

A receding tide is usually the first sign of an approaching tsunami.
