McCain shows up to Letterman, after standing him up and getting called on it!

Not sure if you all remember this, but a few weeks ago, McCain was scheduled to appear on the David Letterman show. An hour before the show, he calls Letterman, cancels, and says he has to go "straight back to the White House." Letterman then has to scramble to get another guest on (Keith Olbermann, MSNBC anchor who hosts "Countdown with Keith Olbermann). While speaking to Olbermann, he finds out that McCain did not go straight to the White House -- instead, he did an interview with Katie Couric and Letterman caught it and blasted him for it.

So, the Mccain finally appeared on Letterman this week -- check out what he said about WHY he lied and hear his response to Palin's claim that Obama pals around with terrorists, and how Letterman says the same could be said of McCain -- is this your president?

Palin Supporters Afraid the "Blacks" Will Take Over!

In Ohio, a swing state in this election, Palin supporters came out for her rally and spoke about their feelings on Obama, revealing that they don't think a NEGRO should be president because NEGROES are 2nd string players...not 1st string (listen to how he says Negro -- you know he says ni**a when he's talking to his own peeps). Check out the video showing what they REALLY said -- what do you think about this?



Man, as this races comes to a close, people are becoming unabashed in their hatred and racism -- and that's freaking unfortunate. We all know racism still exists -- but having it bring brought out so openly in this election is not only disappointing, but it's dangerous...not just for Barack...but for his supporters (of any race/culture)...and for African-Americans as a whole.

We HAVE to make sure that as we move into the future, we become MORE tolerable, respectful, and inclusive...not LESS. And our president AND Americans should encourage that...and not the hateful rhetoric that will continue to divide our country and make it a dangerous place to live. 'Nuff said.

The Game: Derwin & Melanie - should she have kicked his butt to the curb...again?

I guess I'm in the blogging mood tonight! So, I watched the first 2 new The Game episodes and I have to say...I am totally emotionally involved in this show. Check out the beginning of the premiere episode below. (My favs: Jason and Kelly, and Derwin and Melanie).

In case you don't know how the season started...Derwin (NFL football player) and Melanie (the girlfriend who was with him before the fame...who broke up with him for good reason...left....found a new guy...and just now admitted she's still in love with him)...have been fighting to get each other back. Now, Melanie's given in and is ready to start again with her 1 and only love, thinking that he's free since he just broke up with his girlfriend Jenay.

So...after seeing this clip -- would you have stayed with Derwin? Or would you have kicked his irresponsible butt to the curb? I mean...I think love is strong, but THAT'S a lot! I hate when men say "i gotta take care of my responsibility" AFTER the girl is pregnant...um, homie...you should've been taking care of that BEFORE...meaning, wear a hat!

So, did Mel make the right move????



And for those who watched this episode, what the HELL was Malik thinking in talking to Tasha like that?! I loved how she mushed him in the head - way to go, mama Tasha!

McCain Shuts Down Supporters Who Call Obama a "Terrorist" or "Arab"

So, I was recently asked by many people why I haven't written about the election, as this presents a prime opportunity to blog about the state of the country, among other things. The answer is, everyone's writing about it...and I want to read what others think rather than spout out my thoughts on the campaign. However, a recent video caused a reaction in me that I can only describe as utter disappointment. Not on McCain's behalf, but due to the intrinsic, deep-seeded hatred that some people have and will never let go of.

Check out this video and tell me what you think about people who say racism is dead in America. Is America as screwed up as we feared, or do we have a shot at REALLY overcoming the demons of racism?
