This is deflating: Golfer Lorena Ochoa of Mexico is the overwhelming choice as the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year. Again.

Shows what I know (I have begun to follow the tour . . . some, but I an not a golfer, no): interesting story. For an AP vote and story, it was . . . like . . . difficult to dig this up even in the search engines. What's up with this? Might my gloss be that of audience of the mainline media? I have missed . . . play . . . this big! Oink. McLuhan reflection of too clear underlying (hiding) pork-bellyness. As a man, I am ashamed: this is 2007. The number of women voting for male athelete of the year should equal the number of men voting for female athelete of the year.
