    Tiger Woods being Buddhist.

    Tiger Woods' mother is Thai, and Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist country. Therefore I would think that Tiger Woods being Buddhist would not be some fad.

    On the subject of the National Review cover, what an extraordinarily stupid decision! However, in this age of dying print, I'd guess that it is all about publicity for the magazine and less about some inherent racism among the editors.
