Good morning peeps! Who besides me remembers that Esso Gasoline commercial that goes, "Put A Tiger In Your Tank?" Well, apparently Tiger does! He "allegedly" put a Tiger in more than one tank! Why oh why do high profile people think they are immune to being exposed for cheating? They are especially susceptible!!! Duh! In the past, Tiger Woods has been criticized for being racially confused (remember when he coined a new phrase to identify himself, rather than admit to being...BLACK and TAI...CABLINASIAN!). He has also been described as being "apolitical"...that is; never taking a stand on political or racial controversies. This was leveled against him and Michael Jordan at times. Who'd-a-thunk Tiger would be involved in a cheating scandal??? In interviews, he has been very private about his life but did openly declare his devotion to his wife and children. I have a friend on the West Coast (Hey Ted), who says it's "The Power of The Coochie" that makes men do these things. Fellas, is this true??? Huuummm...Cleopatra, Angelina, Helen of Troy, Elizabeth Taylor are a few names that come to mind. So, as is my little habit; I offer you a playlist of songs and dedicate them to Tiger Woods and company. Since there are so many songs to choose from, I am going to limit my playlist to ten. You feel free to add on.

My Play list for Tiger and company:

1. Who's Making Love To Your Old Lady, While You Are Out Making Love?, by Johnny Taylor


2. Careless Whispers, by George Michaels

3. I'm In Love, With The Other Woman, by Ray Parker Junior


4. She's Got Papers On Me, by Richard "Dimples" Fields

5. Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, by James Brown

6. She Used To Be My Girl, by The O'Jays

7. Mexican Divorce, by The Drifters

8. Money, Money, Money, by The O'Jays

9 .The Clean Up Woman, by Betty Wright

10. She's Come Undun, by The Guess Who

"Hey Mr. DJ" by Zhane

Good morning peeps! Woke up this morning, turned on The Today Show. There they were...The Salahis! Don't know who they are? Well unless you've been absent from the planet, you've heard about these two. They are the couple that "allegedly" crashed the Obama's dinner party! At the outset of the interview, it was proclaimed that the Salahis were not receiving payment for their appearance on the show. However, you can bet that somewhere down the line, they are going to make cheese from their brazen deed...indeed!
