Paul Mooney, comedic legend and former joke writer for Richard Pryor, says he was fired from his role as host for “Showtime at the Apollo.” Mooney believes his jokes about Pres. George Bush, Jr. didn’t go over well with Time Warner.

Time Warner exec Dick Parsons (who also happens to be a Black man) heads the Apollo Theatre’s board of directors. Parsons is also a notorious Republican.

Mooney made jokes about the president’s drunk daughters’ gin and juice (Jenna and Barbara Bush.) He also called Bush the devil and said the letters of his name amount to 666.

Mooney who was interviewed on Howard Stern’s Sirius satellite radio also said we are losing our rights in this country and as usual…Black folks rights are the first to go.

“My point is ever since 9/11, we lost all our rights. They’re practicing on the minorities, but when they get good at it they’re going to do it to the white folks,” said Mooney.

St. Louis, the World Series Champs, also hold another title — this one, a little less esteemed.

St. Louis is now the most dangerous city in America!

But Detroit fans, don’t get too mad. We aren’t far behind. Second place has become commonplace for our city.

Detroit followed by Flint, MI are the next two worst cities to live in.

This story sounds like something out of a new-aged Agatha Christie novel or a hip hop version of the game Clue.

On Oct. 17, rapper Fabolous was shot in the thigh in the parking lot of Diddy’s New York restaraunt, Justin’s. But while he was in stable condition in the hospitial he was also technically under arrest for weapons possession.

Now information has surfaced that Boston Celtics basketball player Sebastian Telfair may be connected.

According to police reports, Telfair’s $50,000 chain (probably filled with blood diamonds:) was snatched from his neck. After the robbery he supposedly made a cell phone call when he saw Fabolous had finished his food, thinking his entourage must have had something to do with the robbery.

Now Fabolous has hired a private investigator to iron out all the details and find his shooter.

It was the rapper with the revolver in the billiard room!

In the latest bit of bad political advertising, a blonde woman with bare shoulders tells Tenessee’s Democractic Senate candidate, who also happens to be an African American male, to ‘call her…’

Some say the ad panders to the lowest common denominator: Deep rooted fears about sex between Black men and white women.

Freud again? First, Oedipus complex in Michigan…now penis envy in Tennessee.

More psychological terrorism from the Republican marketing mind.

Police stopped Snoop at a loading zone at the Bob Hope Airport in southern Cali for a “vehicle code violation.”

Surprise. Surprise. When the officers searched the vehicle they found WEED and a gun.

Just when the “man” had given him a chance and he was doing commericals with Lee Iacocca.

I don’t know if these political ads are some last ditch effort by conservatives to send some ill-placed message about maidenhead-type stuff… but this fall Michigan is bursting with daddy/daughter issues. 

I believe Freud called it the Oedipus complex.

Sheriff Mike Bouchard’s ad “The Big Date” was the first to feature his daughter. Bouchard is basically putting a cabash on his little girl’s date with some pimply pre-pubescent. Bouchard pushes the young man off to the side…as he cuddles with his baby girl. He even steals the boys flowers. This “common sense conservative is not so great on a date.”

The Big Date

Dick DeVos’ daughter Elissa says,  ”Nobody pulls Daddy’s chain…almost nobody.”

So….she pulls her Daddy’s chain? Where were DeVos’ well paid political consultants on this one?

And where in the hell is Betsy?

The World Series will be another time for the city to shine or not. Detroit hid the homeless during the Superbowl, and now with another major sporting event, where will they go?
Roger Penske, “Detroit’s Superbowl host committee mastermind” told The Helen Street Report, a local news program, that he would make the homeless one of his top priorities.

We’ll soon see.

In a surprise upset for some New York fans, Detroiter London Charles better known as Deelishis from Flavor of Love 2 won the heart of Flavor Flaaaaaaaaaav.

The season 2 finale, according to VH1, is a world record holder. More than 7.5 million people watched the show, making it this years most watched non-sport telecast show on basic cable.

Flavor Flaaaaaaaaav!

Now New York will become the Flavorette and men-from lawyers to the unemployed- will compete for a chance to win her heart. Must See TV!

If ever there is to be a book that just doesn’t make any since — it is this one. O.J. Simpson is (being paid millions) to write a fictiony non-fiction run-down of his life with Nicole Brown Simpson, and how he murdered her. Is this for real?

I guess Republicans will do anything for the Black vote. Republicans have unleashed a series of ads incorporating Black common denominator-type stuff such as hip-hop, hos and booty…all that.

“If you make a little mistake with one of your ‘hos,’ you’ll want to dispose of that problem tout suite, no questions asked,” says one man in the Republican funded political ad.

“That’s too cold. I don’t snuff my own seed,” the other replies.

“Maybe you do have a reason to vote Republican.”

Brothers, take note: The IRS does not play.

Redd Foxx knew it. Chuck Berry knows it. Ronald Isley was incarcerated just weeks ago.

Now the taxman is coming for Wesley Snipes and they want $12 million. According to the LA Times he could face up to 16 years in jail.

The action hero has been fighting for his life in lawsuits filed against him by his agents and his mortgage company. He emerged victorious in a 2002 paternity suit in which a 33 year-old woman alleged they had sex in a Chicago crack house.  (Shades of Nino Brown…)
But apparently he fell in with Guiding Light of God Ministries, a company that has been accused of selling fraudulent tax schemes.

Snipes joined the movement in 2000 and, according to the indictment, began pursuing dubious tax refunds, including a $7.4-million claim for the 1997 tax year. Snipes originally claimed an income of $19.2 million that year, authorities alleged, but in an amended return said his income was zero.

Ummmm, that amended return would be a red flag for an audit.

Be sure to buy extra copies of Blade and distribute them as holiday gifts this year. I’m sure Wesley will appreciate the assist.

When I first heard about ‘Amendment E’ I rolled my eyes. A group of South Dakotans are sponsoring this bill that would make immunity for judges no more.

Judges shall not have immunity for:

• Deliberate violations of the law, or of the state or federal constitutions.
• Fraud or conspiracy.
• Intentional violations of due process.
• Deliberate disregard of material facts.
• Judicial acts without jurisdiction.
• Acts that impede the lawful conclusion of a case, including unreasonable delay and willful rendering of an unlawful judgment or order.

At first it seemed that the whole legal system and the Constitution would be run amuck and be toyed with. Then I got to thinking…A government is supposed to be scared of its people, not the other way arouund. (I think I got that from that movie “V for Vendetta”.) Anyway the point is Americans are taking a stand. They don’t like something so some have banded together to change the legal system.

And many should have a problem with the “system.” This past May, the University of Virginia Law School reported that 175 people nationwide have been exonerated through post-conviction DNA testing.

But Amendment E, if passed this Nov., would not only effect judges but county commissoners, jurors and prosecutors. All can be sued.

See what Amendment E is all about. Pro E — No E

In the last gubernatorial debate before the election, Gov. Granholm and Dick DeVos agreed on almost nothing. And one of the things they were polar on was public smoking.

Channel 7’s Diana Lewis asked the candidates would they support the ban of smoking in public places like in France, Ireland and the town Helena, MT. (the public smoking ban here slashed the number of heart attacks in half.)
DeVos said no. Granholm — yes.

Maybe smokers and those who suffer from second hand will thank her if she keeps her seat.

A study found that one in four smokers will get lung disease.

With the ascendance of the Detroit Tigers, on their way to the World Series after several years at the bottom of the Major League Baseball barrel, Detroit is indisputably the nation’s #1 sports town!

The WNBA’s Detroit Shock just won their second women’s basketball championship in three years. The Pistons and Red Wings are perennial title contenders. The Motor City shines as the home of sport champions… except for the Detroit Lions.

In striking contrast to all of the other Detroit teams, The Lions have been the worst team in football for decades, and this season is no exception. The Lions are 1-5, finally picking up their first win six weeks into the season with a victory over the mediocre Buffalo Bills. (more…)

Disneyland Paris employees wore Disney character costumes and shot a fake porno that would have made R. Kelly blush. Goofy, Minnie and Mickey Mouse got freaky on YouTube before the video was removed by company officials. Even Chip and Dale got in on some action.

Ol’ Walt Disney said it was a clear copyright violation…sexy…sexy.
