"There's A Stranger in my House" - Tamia

Good afternoon peeps! I must admit that I had no clue what to write about today. I went to an oldies concert last night at The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and thought I might write about that. The show featured three top acts: Dennis Edward's Temptation Review, The Manhattans featuring Blue Lovett  plus that gorgeous voiced Gerald Alston and, from the West Coast; Rose Royce. The surprise of the evening was that Paul Williams, Jr., son of original Temptation, Paul Williams, is now a part of The Temptation's Review. Great show! But, I've decided to comment on a more topical event of this past week: (no, not Tiger Woods...maybe later) but...those two party crashers: Mr. and Mrs. Talahi of Virginia. Hell to the nah! One of my biggest pet peeves is uninvited guests! If I didn't invite you to my party...don't show up! Of course there are exceptions. Like, if you come with a friend that was invited and you don't plan on eating for two or more (unless you are pregnant),  you are welcome to come...that has happened before. Just don't come with the intention a packing a plate for yourself and Bubba and dem! But seriously...as anyone that knows me from my early childhood days will tell you, if you come to my house unexpected...I'll stand to the door and chat but you aint coming in! (Right Teresa?). Sidebar: I once let a salesman in even though my mother had said say "she's not home" (she was hiding), and he repossessed our black and white TV! My mother was livid, and didn't replace the TV for a long time; depriving us of the best entertainment those days had to offer us! What? No Bandstand? No Mickey Mouse Club? No Twilight Zone!  Now, it seems these two: Michaele and Tareq, thought it was ok to crash the Obama's first official dinner party. No, not ok! What an embarrassing thing to have happen, in addition to being a severe breech in security. It has been reported that death threats have increased 400% since Obama took office! This is certainly not the time to have lax security! Though seemingly harmless, any breech in security is a potential threat to the Obama family! The desire to star in a reality TV show has run amok! Gone haywire! Wreaked havoc! What are your thoughts? What should happen to all involved?
