I’m actually going to hate to see President George “Dubya” Bush leave office. Not because of any official duties that he has performed, but because I don’t know if David Letterman’s bit on “Great Moments in Presidential Speeches” will be anywhere near as funny any more. Someone compiled some of the best moments for us. Check this out:

The political operatives have set out to make Barack a Muslim. To show how crazy all of this has been, The Daily Show proves that Hilary is a Muslim as well! See how silly all of this is??? You gotta love The Daily Show!!

On the popular political show Meet the Press that aired on Sunday March 9th, former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle spoke about the Clintons offering Obama the vice president spot -

“Well, Tim, it’s really a rare occurrence, maybe the first time in history, that the person who’s running number two would offer the person who’s running number one the number two position…”

Every once in a while I find a TV show that I actually like well enough to repeatedly sit through the re-runs. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but the shows of today aren’t as great as they used to be. Remember Knight Rider? Alf? The Cosby Show? A Different World? The original Law and Order format… before the acronym spinoffs started (SVU, etc.). Or what about good old fashioned Cops? I still Crank Dat Police Officer when I hear the theme song come on! And you know recently, I found out that a good friend of mine was on Cops, but not they way you may think! Ha! She was an “Extra” if you will. Anyways, I’m getting away from the point.There is a show that I love dearly and it’s because it’s really an intelligent show. Can you guess what it is? Nope, it doesn’t come on PBS or the Discovery Channel and by me saying “intelligent” I’m sure you’ve automatically guessed that it doesn’t come on BET. I hate to say it but, it’s a Fox show and it’s “The Family Guy”. I like this show because the wit is unmatched and all of the jokes are incredibly clever.

I’m happy to announce that in the same year we have an African American man and woman running for president, Fox news is considering giving my man Cleveland from the Family Guy his own spin off show! I’m really excited about this. I may create a new dance “Crank Dat Cleveland” in honor of his accomplishment. Tell everybody about this. This is great news!!

“I did joints with Mary J. Blige …..” - Jay Z

Who doesn’t love a cool Jay and Mary J collab? I think it’s one of the craziest Bonnie & Clyde combos in hip hop. Remember “Can’t Knock The Hustle?” Anyways, I think they did this track for the upcoming tour. Check it out. Tell me what you think!

“Some people recognize the light but they can’t handle the glare…” Common

I remember when Common’s original version of “The Light” came out on the Like Water for Chocolate album. That was a good time in hip hop… I long for those days to come back… Outkast, Common, Mos Def, Black Star, The Roots… they all had banging albums out and nobody was trying to “Crank Dat” next stupid dance. Anyways, Common, Marsha Ambrosius, Bilal and “Justin” Blaze (as Jay Z calls him) and the other usual suspects are still trying to keep hip alive with some really good music. Check out this remix “The Light 2008″. Enjoy!

I can’t lie to you. I once was hooked on the absolutely terrible show “Flavor of Love”. You would think it stopped there, but I followed the Flav girls over to Charm School. Please don’t ask because even I sometimes wonder what the heck I was thinking. As this blog continues to head down hill, Saaphyri (in the pic above) was the ultimate winner of the VH1 series. It looks like she’s an entrepreneur now and she’s selling “Lip Chap”. I feel like it’s my civic duty to start calling out people in my community when you do something absolutely unnecessary. Apparently her demographic is the folk in the hood - strippers, hookers and johns. Sorry Monique, I guess all your efforts didn’t work. My people have to realize that you can’t make any real money like this. What’s classy and timeless about this vid below? What time slot will air this commercial (other than BET uncut….well for that matter, BET will probably be the only network showing this… you know the world looks to Bobby Johnson’s programming for moral advice from the African American Community). Well then again, as I think about it, that channel that shows the girls gone wild and the phone sex operator commercials may be trying to get in while the getting is good.

Black people, I want you all to know that it’s possible to make a crap load of money without exploiting yourself or anyone else. I guess what they say is right, You can take a person out the hood, but you can’t take the hood out of the person. Look at this vid… and Hell Nah I don’t want no damn lip chap. Just sad.

Always be consistent. That’s one thing I’ve learned in life. When you’re consistent, you never have to worry about trying to cover your tracks or have your words used against you. Nothing worse than when your opposition’s words can be used to help you. Check out this video.
