"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" is the story of executive Neal Page, desperately trying to get home in time to spend the Thanksgiving holidays with his family. Along the way, he encounters a number of obstacles and is given support by a fellow traveler, who is a hapless, but cheerful musician named, Del Griffith.
The well meaning Griffith seems to get Page into one funny and frustrating mishap after another, resulting in slapstick comedy and embarrassment. "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" contains the comedy characteristic of many John Hughes films. However, this film is not particularly meaningful, just a laugh.

Tiger Woods and his wife Elin
The Department of Children and Families, the regulatory government entity that oversees child welfare, has an open investigation into golfer, Tiger Woods and his wife Elin, after the Thanksgiving crash that occurred outside their property, that was reported in the press as a domestic violence incident.
Child Protection Agency Has Open Investigation Into Tiger Woods Domestic Violence Incident Involving Weapon
Posted on Dec 14, 2009 @ 03:29PM - Florida's Department of Children and Families has an open investigation that it is actively pursuing into a possible domestic violence incident - with a weapon -- between Tiger Woods and his wife, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
RadarOnline.com has exclusively obtained a police document that provides proof and details of the investigation and DCF's attempt to make an in-home visit to the Woods' residence just days ago.
The document - police dispatch notes - details that the investigation centers on possible domestic violence between Tiger and his wife taking place in front of their young children. Using police code, it also spells out that a unknown weapon may have been involved. A source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com that the weapon is a golf club.
It's blockbuster proof that Tiger's legal woes are not behind him - even though there is no ongoing police investigation into any aspect of the case.

Tiger and Elin Woods
The top ranked golfer in the world, Tiger Woods, has been ticketed, regarding the late night crash that occurred outside his home last week, in Orlando, Florida's Isleworth gated community. At 2:20AM, on the morning after Thanksgiving, Woods hopped into his black Cadillac Escalade and crashed into a fire hydrant and tree outside his home.

It was reported, his wife, Elin, smashed the vehicle's window with a golf club, as when the engine of an Escalade is running, the door will not open, according to talk show host, Larry King. She dragged Woods out of the car and onto the sidewalk, asking a neighbor to call 911. Woods was unconscious for six minutes. He reportedly woke up for a short time, then lapsed back into unconsciousness. He was later transported to the hospital, then released.
Elin Woods
TMZ reported his wife had attacked him with a golf club, he fled the house at 2:20AM with no shoes on, became distracted in the Escalade and crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. Woods denies this version of the story and it is one the police are not pursuing. Instead, Woods has been issued a ticket for $164 for careless driving.

In the mean time, another woman, reality TV star, Jamie Grubbs, has come out of the woodworks, claiming she had an affair with Woods that went on for many months during his marriage. She claims to have sexually charged text messages from Woods, as proof of her story.

Jamie Grubbs
Whether or not these claims of infidelity are true, what good will come of this, as all it will do is hurt his wife and jeopardize his marriage, all in a bid at greater fame and fortune, via someone pushing a tell all. The public didn't need to know this and you need to get right with God, as adultery is wrong, not something to be proud of.

Tiger Woods Cheating Scandal Grows, Other Woman Coming Forward With Voicemails
Posted on Dec 01, 2009 @ 12:36PM - Several other women are coming forward claiming they had affairs with Tiger Woods, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
What's more, one of these women claims to have proof in the form of voice mails from the golfing great. The voice mails are said to be explosive. RadarOnline.com has not heard the voice mails and verified their authenticity.
But we have confirmed that at least two more women are being linked to Tiger in sexual affairs and that one cheating story could appear as early as Thursday.
Several national media outlets are in contact with women who say the have had sexual contact with Tiger while he was married.
It all adds up to the Tiger cheating scandal turning into an even bigger national story, despite his attempts to defuse various reports with a statement on his web site asking for privacy and attacking rumors...

Did Tiger Woods have a Lionel Richie moment yesterday, during a car crash outside his home in Orlando, Florida, which sent him to the hospital. According to TMZ, he did.
For those of you that aren't familiar with the story, singer Lionel Richie was caught cheating on his wife Brenda, who beat him and his mistress with a frying pan.
The TMZ website is notorious for bribing police officers and hospital workers for information and photos and leaking hacked documents. They stated this morning, Woods' wife, Elin, flew into a rage at reports of him cheating on her with a waitress, Rachel Uchitel, who is allegedly known for sleeping with famous men.

Today, Tiger's story is being told as a case of domestic violence, where Woods' wife allegedly went Chris Brown on him, with a golf club, leading to the accident.
What's making the story circulate in an even worse manner, is the golfer's refusal to deny the adultery accusations, published in a tabloid the day before Thanksgiving.

Rachel Uchitel
Rachel Uchitel was videotaped leaving the same hotel Woods was staying in during a tournament. She states she was at the hotel meeting with a client, but as a commenter on the Radar Online site wrote, since when do waitresses meet with clients in hotels on the other side of the world. Some clarification is required.
Either way, this is a sad story and I hope the Woods' 5-year marriage survive it. They also have two young children to consider in the midst of this scandal.
Tiger Woods Cornered -- Turns Cops Away
Posted Nov 28th 2009 9:09PM by TMZ Staff
Tiger WoodsIt looks like Tiger Woods has been boxed into a corner and his best friend, now, is time -- because he's again refused to meet with the Florida Highway Patrol about the incident with his wife early yesterday. Tiger may well be waiting for the telltale wounds to heal.
Woods' agent told the Florida Highway Patrol Tiger and wife Elin Nordegren would not make themselves available to speak with authorities today about the incident that left Tiger with lacerations and one less fire hydrant on his block.
We know the Highway Patrol is suspicious of the wife's account ... that Tiger just drove off and hit a fire hydrant. She told the first officer on the scene from the Windemere PD that she went inside the house after the crash to get a golf club and then hit the car in an attempt to free her husband. But we know she told a very different story subsequently to the Highway Patrol.
As we first reported, Tiger told a friend that his wife went ballistic at around 2:00 AM yesterday and scratched his face up -- all because of reports he allegedly had cheated on her. He left the house, started driving away and she attacked the SUV with a golf club, Tiger told the friend. He got "distracted" and hit the hydrant.
If Tiger and his wife acknowledge she scratched him up, she could be arrested for domestic abuse...
Baby to cameraman regarding Obama: is that who I think it is?
U.S. President Barack Obama has released a 2009 Thanksgiving message to the nation:
What began as a harvest celebration between European settlers and indigenous communities nearly four centuries ago has become our cherished tradition of Thanksgiving. This day's roots are intertwined with those of our nation, and its history traces the American narrative.
Today, we recall President George Washington, who proclaimed our first national day of public thanksgiving to be observed "by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God," and President Abraham Lincoln, who established our annual Thanksgiving Day to help mend a fractured nation in the midst of civil war. We also recognize the contributions of Native Americans, who helped the early colonists survive their first harsh winter and continue to strengthen our nation. From our earliest days of independence, and in times of tragedy and triumph, Americans have come together to celebrate Thanksgiving.
As Americans, we hail from every part of the world. While we observe traditions from every culture, Thanksgiving Day is a unique national tradition we all share. Its spirit binds us together as one people, each of us thankful for our common blessings.
As we gather once again among loved ones, let us also reach out to our neighbors and fellow citizens in need of a helping hand. This is a time for us to renew our bonds with one another, and we can fulfill that commitment by serving our communities and our nation throughout the year. In doing so, we pay tribute to our country's men and women in uniform who set an example of service that inspires us all. Let us be guided by the legacy of those who have fought for the freedoms for which we give thanks, and be worthy heirs to the noble tradition of goodwill shown on this day.
Now, therefore, I, Barack Obama, president of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, Nov. 26, 2009, as a National Day of Thanksgiving. I encourage all the people of the United States to come together, whether in our homes, places of worship, community centers, or any place where family, friends and neighbors may gather, with gratitude for all we have received in the past year, to express appreciation to those whose lives enrich our own and to share our bounty with others.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of November, in the year of our Lord 2009, and of the independence of the United States of America the 234th (year).
