I definitely feel you about The Game!!! I am really hoping that BET comes through and saves the show. It would be head and shoulders above anything else on that terrible network…And there will never ever be a senator comparable to the late, great Ted Kennedy!!

I like the T.O. show. Was there a question about his sexual orientation? I wasn’t even aware of that. I found it quite touching when he went back home. The scene with his g-ma and dad was a tear-jerker.

I do believe Prince made some statement after MJ’s passing on twitter, but I heard nothing after that.

The healthcare debate is what it is, a debate. People are still suffering, even those with insurance.

Who were you expecting to mention the birthdays of Marcus Garvey and Assata Shakur? not Western media?

How do shows like The Game get cancelled while Tiny and Toya remain on television? <<==YOU GOT ME ON THAT ONE….

Ted Kennedy was the last of the old school. I don’t expect to see anyone in that vain for a very long time….

What does that mean Marc? Does that mean you are not feeling Drake as an artist?

TO’s body is SICK. . .

Has anyone told 50 Cent that his rap career is over? He had a career?

Does anyone find Robin Williams funny? Umm no!

Doesn’t Barack Obama seem more like a traditional politician with every day? Should we be surprised that this is happening?

How do shows like The Game get cancelled while Tiny and Toya remain on television? I LOVE “The Game”. Why did they schedule it on a Friday night at 8? Most young adults are out at the time on a Friday. Ok, ok, I’ll confess. . .”Tiny and Toya” grew on me. Toya appears to be a sweet girl and Tiny seems sincere. With that said, BET is still trash.

poor TO. according to Neilsen ratings; his show ranked #59 .. . right after a 4am showing of Fresh Prince on Nik-at-Nite!

In a sport filled with egos and insecurity, isn’t it great to see Donovan McNabb welcome Michael Vick with open arms?
what open arms? McNabb is quietly plotting how to keep him on the bench for a very long time….

How do shows like The Game get cancelled while Tiny and Toya remain on television?
Do people realize the only nonreality black shows on TV are written & produced by Tyler Perry? We’ve got to do better. . . .

Doesn’t Drake feel like hip-hop’s version of a boy band?
Drake is the Hannah Montana of Hip Hop

Will there ever be a Senator as talented, passionate, and effective as Ted Kennedy?
Probably not. Senators these days are more likely to cheat on their wives, father a love child, and come out the closet and admit to being gay.

I like Joe Budden but he plays into bs that distracts from the music, damn near 10 years in and still waiting for his second hit record.

I’ll always be a fan of Iverson but the twilight of his career has been ugly.

Robin Williams hasn’t been funny since ‘85.

I’ve never seen The Game or Tiny and Toya. BET gets no play in my house.

I don’t get what all the hype or dislike is surrounding Drake. I’d rather listen to classic Outkast than most of the rappers out now. Drake is ok but I’m not adding any of his music to my playlists.

Question #21 – Why are so many conservatives obsessed with fear-mongering? I had no idea the President encouraging kids to take their education seriously was somehow tantamount to socialism, who knew?

— If so, his campaign just earned a loyal customer

Whose mouth is more of a liability, Joe Biden or Joe Budden?
—Joe the Plumber

Has anyone told 50 Cent that his rap career is over?
—Wendy Williams. How you doooorin’?

In a sport filled with egos and insecurity, isn’t it great to see Donovan McNabb welcome Michael Vick with open arms?
–Did they kiss?

Now that they’re criticizing Cash for Clunkers for being too effective, don’t Republicans officially seem like a party of player haters?
— It’s fun to watch, though. Boehner was going to bust a gasket tonight during the presidential address to the joint sesseion of congress. He turned the color of the second Barney the Dinosaur (not the old crusty purple one – the new, pinkish purple one)

Now that they’ve embarrassed themselves at countless town hall meetings, don’t congressional Democrats seem like complete screw-ups?
–Al Franken needs to start running all of the Town Halls

After hearing him publicly blame racism for his political failures, isn’t it fair to ask if David Paterson even wants to be re-elected?
— I didn’t know he thought of himself as a racist, but if so, he certainly should have the good sense not to seek re-election.

Does anyone find Robin Williams funny?
— funny in a ADHD kinda-creepy “laughing-at-not-laughing-with” sort of way

Doesn’t Barack Obama seem more like a traditional politician with every day?
— I don’t know – he seems to be getting a little gangsta in the last few days

Isn’t it a shame that the birthdays of Marcus Garvey and Assata Shakur went virtually unnoticed?
—Not to mention my own birthday, so let’s get this on the calendar early this year, people. 266 shopping days until my next birthday.
