All kinds of Black Folks are out and about this election year!!



Let me get this straight!!! A former welfare recipient is running for office as a Republican? And the city of Compton would be part of her district? This is alot to take in when you are sober and not on any type of narcotic. I just have a few points to make: If I were her, I wouldn't brag about being endorsed by Alan Keyes. He's a lunatic and he looks like a raccoon in a suit. And I wouldn't add Pat Boone to that endorsement list either. He has covered stolen so much music from people that he probably doesn't have an original thought. I will be following the results of this race to see what happens. Now this is truly "Must See TV".

A Hot Movie off the South African movie circuit.

“White Wedding” is an appealing, feel-good movie about love, commitment, intimacy and friendship and the host of maddening obstacles that can get in the way of a happy ending. Uplifting and at times uproarious this is a movie that affirms the dream that romance can overcome any obstacle.

FRONTLINE: Breaking the Bank




I watched this special last night and it was very informative. It showed Bank of America's ill-advised pursuit of Merrill Lynch. It did reaffirm one thing for me. That John Thain is the biggest liar this side of the Hemisphere.

Finding Arsenio Hall


Citizen Wifey and I were watching the first episode of Jimmy Fallon’s new show Monday night err……………….Tuesday Morning. Citizen Wifey is not a late night person. She was actually complaining because I didn’t wake her up the next morning. I told her that’s what the alarm clock is for. Anyway, we were watching his show….not for Jimmy mind you. Because I don’t think he is funny. No disrespect to dude but on the scale of laughs he is at the bottom. He can do an impression or two but can he produce gut wrenching laughing…….me thinks not!!! Let me be totally honest with you. I really was watching to see the greatest Hip Hop Group in the world performing as a late night talk show House Band. The Roots……for anybody that doesn’t have a clue. We ended up watching Carson Daly after that but that’s another story. Did I tell you that Citizen Wifey is not a late night person?


Anyway, the show was so so. The skit “Licking for ten” was awkward. It wasn’t bad but it was awkward. I’ve seen women do a lot of things for free but I’ve never seen a woman lick a copier for 10 bucks. I’m just glad that when the guy licked the lawn mower it wasn’t on. I loved the skit “Slow jamming the news”. I could only imagine Tom Brokaw delivering the news with sexy music in the background. I bet his female viewership would have been through the roof.


Citizen Wifey said something while the show was on that had me thinking. She said “where is the next Arsenio Hall”? I mentioned about how we had black talk show hosts after Arsenio but they weren’t funny. Magic Johnson could shoot the rock but he doesn’t need to ever touch an opening monologue again. Citizen Wifey went on to say that Arsenio was the best talk show host ever. I had to correct her because Johnny Carson was the master. I don’t care what color or gender you are. Everyone in modern times is chasing Carson. I actually like David Letterman because his humor is self-depreciating. Conan O'Brien is not really funny but he is so stupid it makes me laugh. Arsenio did have one of the best shows going. He brought swagger to the mainstream and that was a good thing. I was able to watch Wu Tang Clan perform “CREAM,” President Clinton play the sax and Rudy Ray Moore perform "Signifying Monkey.”


Citizen Dad once told me that President Obama is the right person for now. I believe that Arsenio was the right person for his time. I don’t think the fact that we don’t have a black talk show host is a major disappointment. Sure the line to get in after Letterman and Leno is long and probably not filled with many minorities. But we have too many other issues besides complaining about a late night black out. So although watching Jimmy Fallon produced different feelings for the Citizens. Wifey might have missed Arsenio Hall but I kept thinking about why we don’t have any milk in the fridge. I really wanted cereal for breakfast.
