If Obama's daughter was caught doing this, the election would be over!!

If the trailer park trash antics of the Palins couldnt get any worse, Do we really want Jerry Springer Show goes to the White House!

Who is Joe the Plumber?

Who is Joe the Plumber? WHO IS JOE THE PLUMBER? Samuel Wurzelbacher another disenchanted white male, that believes in entitlement and privilege is threaten by Obamas Presidency. Let s explain Mr.Wurzelbacher No Drivers License, No Plumber license, amongst several liens, no home ownership or probably any tangible assets that would allow him to purchase the plumbing business that he works at, and claims Obama wants to tax...

I think Joe is confusing revenue, profit and taxable income. Joe or should I say Samuel's projected revenue is 278K-- which is not his profit. He has salaries, benefits, costs for running business (including paying loans) to deduct.

Even at a net of 250K+ he will only pay marginally more taxes on the amount above 2K (and less on the below). On every net 10K above 250K (after all those deductions) he will pay $300. The rest is taxed the same as before.

This is NOT the working capital of his business. It is his profit taking after whatever he invests in his business.

The 300 dollars will be part of what Joe''s customer''s get and can use to hire him, but most of their extra spending dollars will come from the CEO''s of Big Oil. They have a much higher net income than Joe will ever have.

Joe's business (and Samuel) will fare better under Obama''s proposed tax system than they do now as the people who have a net income of over 250K a year will pay a little bit more on what is above 250K and a bit less on the amount below. For many it will be a "wash", but when your net income is in the millions, you will have to share with Joe the Plumber.

I think Joe is mislead and misinformed, and the lack of critical journalism makes things worse, because he should have been call out!

Wurzelbacher appeared on the Neil Cavuto's program "Your World" on Fox News. Neil asked if Joe was persuaded by Obama's plan. Joe said that he was not and that he was more frightened upon hearing it. Joe suggested that Obama's plan was socialist in nature. Neil encouraged him by suggesting that he was impressive for stepping up to Obama and pressing his concerns without becoming 'star struck'. Neil also said, "You're my kind of plumber." Neil did not play the entire clip of their exchange, nor did he engage in a serious discussion of Obama's tax plan.
He also appeared on the Good Morning America program the day following the debate on Oct.16, 2008, Diane Sawyer asked Joe if he had been contacted by the McCain Campaign before his encounter with Obama. Joe said "I have been contacted by them and asked to show up at a rally" Asked if he was taking home $250,000 now, Joe said with a laugh "No, not even close." Sounds like another Republican plant!

Tyler Perry Opens Studio in Atlanta

NEW PICS: GRAND OPENING OF TYLER PERRY'S NEW TV & FILM STUDIO; PERRY MAKES HISTORY BY BECOMING 1st AFRICAN-AMERICAN TO DO SO.

Sidney Poitier, Cicely Tyson, Rudy Dee and Oprah Winfrey were among the thousands of Guests at the grand Opening of Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, according to Entertainment Tonite.
Cicely Tyson said, that she would not bleive or witness in her lifetime, the achievement of Perrys establishing a major Film and Television studio owned by African American Producer.

Outside, a small contigent of protesters wearing Writers Guild of America T-Shirts chanted, and demanded more Union Representation.

The Protest has bloggers complaining about TP, so in his defense I had to respond to all the haters of the 500 million dollar man, Tyler Perry purveory of the chitlin circuit black gospel theme, cross dressing madame Madea, is the buzz of many blogs. Tyler Perry is a modern equivalent of Oscar Micheaux, and doing what Eddie Murphy and many others before him fail to and what Spike Lee is unable to do!

Judging Sarah

Ruminations on last nites debate, those Republicans have mastered the art of subterfuge, second to there master Satan the Devil! They prep their gurl well, she fumble and bumble…but managed to maintain her own against Biden. Sure Pain-lin demonstrated her lack of foreign policy and domestic agenda, but managed to do what her Republican handlers coach her to do, appear to the equivalent of the bubba vote, ignorant working class Wal-Mart shopping, Taco Bell eating, gun toting, working class white folks like her. Take the White Folks that live next door to my parents, that rent the home that Middle Class aspirations cant afford to purchase, yet proudly stage their home with Halloween regalia, and post there McCain/Palin yard sign on the grassy knoll they don’t even own. These are the new Nascar Dads and typical American Hockey Mom typeslike her, clueless!

I try to sit through her mindless ramblings, anesthetize by scotch and smoke almonds, waiting for this broad to just answer the damn questions, but that she didn’t instead appearing to her constituents’, talking about the greatness of nothing, and yeah, I’m dumb and not so sophisticated like my condescending opponent over here Joe Biden, who like Barrack Obama is elitist doesn’t care about the average American like you. But, like John…I’m a maverick for true change!

She stuck to her talking points on matters that matter most her, and her irk. Pain-lin is going to managed, and manipulated by the same fools that propped up the current jester, that has been running the place for the last four years. All I can say is thank you Gwen Ifill for not being intimidated by the Rethuglican preemptive strike and sticking to your guns, and posing the questions to the beauty queen.

The First Debate

Well, I don't know about you...but I was expecting the verbal equivalent to the rumble in the jungle. But it appear to me that O is getting exasperated with all of McCains stall tactics and subterfuge. Its beginning to wear on a brother, if Os response are slow and deliberate and well thought out, he said to be uncertain, and inexperience. If he attacks...McCain, which he should do more aggressively, he is said to elitist and uppity, brother can win for lose. What the white folks are really saying is the nerve of this nigger to think as a first generation immigrant son of a damn African can aspire to the top office, over the third generation white son of naval officers. Yet, I digress, in all honest I had my concerns about the debate and skip out to go the movies...hey, I figured CNN would be televising it all nite anyway.
So I went to see my brother Spike Less new joint Miracle at St Anna, and I must say, Spike is getting better. Although I had my issues with the film. Long at two hours and forty minutes, With the exception of In sideman Spikes film can be disjointed, he tries to tell to many stories in one frame of thought. I understand why he does it...our stories have been so neglected and there are so many to tell, he tries to put as much as possible in one film, because he knows that he may not be given the chance to make three films.
Miracle at St Annas is three films, the untold story of Buffalo soldier's in world war II, the seize of a Italian village and related war crimes by Nazi's, and conflict between Franco Fascist and Partisans nationalist. However, I felt Spike did justice to McBride's novel. And finally, he got those damn endings right...if not that its to melancholy. After moments of tears being brought to eyes...the evening was a complete wash. So after arriving home at 1:20am to catch the debate, I can say at least Spike made the evening worth while.

Black Men Revealed, Oh gawd please!

There is one thing, I missed from my childhood visit to the neighborhood barbershop, is the discussion between old men, and the passing on of history and testaments. I used to be annoyed by the overweight negro that always had a a pocket full of change, that he swish around in his pocket while talking about how he was going to buy a Cadillac in his retirement. But, that doesn't compare to the nuisance of going to the barbershop these days, and having to endure the man boys playing XBOX and PlayStation, the Hawking of overprice designer jeans, and bootleg DVDs...is far remove from the previous legacy, of visiting this community hot spot.
So here I am Sunday evening, sitting here contemplating my work week. I tuned into TVONE conversations with brothers, and this show gives me the typical barbershop experience with these two idiots and sports enthusiast as they attempt to discuss everything from women, world events to politics. What I get is the barbershop babble with no real intrinsic or intellectual value whatsoever. Then there is the class colour dynamics that are painfully obvious when the light skinned visiting participant commentaries always seem to have a seemingly intelligent counterpoint.

What do I expect from Cathy Hughes, Cathy get off the air with your old wrinkled yellow ass, and get one of those yellow girls BET manages to recycle over and over again!
