Tiger Woods

 I'm watching "The Insider" and they are talking about the topic of the month. Tiger Woods and his infidelity. While, infidelity isn't anything new to athletes,politics and money, they are acting as if it is the end of the world. I, too, am amazed at how many...count up to 11....women he has been alledged to have. I believe that the longer he stays quiet, the worst it shall become. I do respect that he is taking this time to try and reconnect with his wife. Love, commitment and relationships aren't always about sex. Sometimes, it's easier to hurt a person by becoming emotionally detached.
 I've listened to news report, after news report, voice their opinion on the situation and now shall I. It's NOT rocket science so you don't have to ruminate over the alledged mistresses. They ALL appear to be money hungry. They knew that he didn't have any true emotional feelings for them. Some claimed that he didn't state ever that he loved them. He profusely talked and texted his need for sex. What were their ulterior motives?    They kept voicemails and texts, not to confront his wife but to gain fifteen minutes of fame and a few thousand dollars. With all their porno looks and those who appeared to act dumb, they definitely did a lot of cogitating. A few months ago David Letterman, confessed to his audience about his affair with his subordinate. He only confessed after someone tried to extort money from him. He apologized night after night about his affair. Now, night after night, he's making fun of Tiger's indiscretions. David said "He would do everything in his power to make it up to his wife". The media suggested that he stop talking about it. This suggestion was to help his marriage and keep his viewers and livelihood. Perhaps, David hasn't surmized the affect that his jokes are having on Elin, Tiger's wife or on Tiger's livelihood. As always for every action there is a reaction and for every cause there is an effect. So maybe, this just may be Tiger's lessons for his narcissistic behavior. Personally, I always thought Tiger appeared to be arrogant. He denounces his Black heritage. Well, maybe denounce is a bit strong. You would first have to claim something in order to be able to denounce it,right? Then I'm NOT surprised that none of the 11 alledged mistresses are Black but am surprised that not 1 is Asian.
  I do believe that there are other things that happened this week, which are more newsworthy. Such as Tom Brokaw. Tom Brokaw and his wife were in an accident in the Bronx and a lady was killed. This story is what should be getting more press coverage. What caused the accident? Who was the lady? What about the lady's family? Then there is Angelina Jolie. She's calling for action in Sudan and wanted to know what President Obama plans to do about the chidren of Darfar. Forgive me, if I'm wrong but he just decided to send more troops to Afghanistan,he's trying to revise the money that was put out in the stimulas plan to push for more jobs and help with small businesses. Can he tackle home then move on to help others? I ws raised that if your home isn't intact then it's hard to help your neighbors. But WAIT!!! This is coming from someone who tongue-kissed her brother,publicly denounced her father,wore the blood of her husband around her neck, had an affair,whether physical or emotional with another woman's husband and then overnight became holier than thou. Another newsworthy topic are the Asian group of high school students that were racially attacked in their SCHOOL, in South Philly.
  See, there ARE  topics than can be talked about other than Tiger.
