SNL Parodies Obama, Jackson and Sharpton 2008-03-06 12:13:38 And Mo'Kelly found it pretty funny actually. There has been some "slight" controversy over whether the animated piece was "inappropriate" depicting how Obama
would go to great lengths to distance himself from the civil rights leaders.Check that...civil rights leader (Jesse) and the "other guy". Although the animation is a parody, there is a profound discussion to be had as to Obama's tightrope walk between mainstream America and the acknowledgment of particular figures prominent in Black America. To date, Jackson
has publicly announced his support for Obama, Sharpie has not endorsed either Democratic candidate although he has hinted at supporting Obama.And Farrakhan...well we all know how that turned out.Anyhow, here is the link to the video, you decide...

Name This Celebrity Couple II 2008-03-06 10:11:13 OK, Mo'Kelly admits this is a little bit easier than the last one. But here's a hint anyway. It's NOT Rog and Dee from What's Happenin'. But that shirt/sweater-vest ensemble was NEVER cool. Not then...not now. Mo'Kelly's not worried about who is going to answer the red phone at 3am. Mo'Kelly wants to know who chose that outfit!

Name This Celebrity Couple... 2008-03-04 13:55:37 And if anyone is curious as to why Mo'Kelly posted this picture...you obviously have no sense of humor. Little did the photographer know that they were capturing two of the most powerful people in the world at a less than flattering moment.Look real, real close. Here's a hint...it's not Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

From Newsweek: Hillary's Math Problem 2008-03-04 13:55:16 This was simply an insightful and informative read courtesy of Jonathan Alter of Newsweek
.(Synopsis - According to Alter, Senator Clinton could win out the remaining primaries and still would trail Obama in pledged delegates when all is said and done.)"So no matter how you cut it, Obama will almost certainly end the primaries with a pledged-delegate lead, courtesy of all those landslides in February. Hillary
would then have to convince the uncommitted superdelegates to reverse the will of the people. Even coming off a big Hillary winning streak, few if any superdelegates will be inclined to do so. For politicians to upend what the voters have decided might be a tad, well, suicidal. The Clintonites can spin to their heart's content about how Obama can't carry any large states be Read more:Problem
The Mo'Kelly Report Endorses Barack Obama 2008-03-04 01:36:14 Not that anyone is surprised and not that Mo'Kelly's "endorsement" and $3.50 will even get you a gallon of gas these days...but it’s the symbolic thought that counts. Everyone else is throwing out their endorsements...Mo'Kelly might as well too.I remember the many stories my father would tell (and still tells) about his days growing up in the projects of segregated Lynchburg, VA. He was the first in his family to attend college when he enrolled at Howard University back in 1957. His interaction with White people was limited at best, you can be sure. The world he knew growing up was one I could not truthfully ever imagine. His vantage point in assessing the value of his citizenship is distinctly different from his 38-year old son or 6-year old grandson.My mother on the other hand ros Read more:Barack

Missed the State of the Black Union? Mo'Kelly's Got Your Back 2008-03-03 19:35:04 For those of you who might have missed the most recent State

Russell Simmons Chooses 'Hope' Over Hillary...Endorses Obama 2008-03-03 17:23:55 Hip hop mogul RussellSimmons
, who has had a lengthy and substantive friendship with Senator Hillary
Clinton has announced his endorsement...Senator Barack Obama
.In fact, Simmons acknowledges that the confluence of friendship and partisanship are tricky waters to navigate at best."I have known Hillary for many years and have seen her work passionately on many issues, including poverty, education, and prison reform," he said and also added; "I hope I still have a friendship with her that's lasting beyond this choice, not just a friendship but a working relationship. I hope we get past it."The endorsement in and of itself is not the most compelling item here. The 'nature' of the endorsement, on the heels of an established and public rapport with Senator Clinton is telling...and arguably dam
New Barack Obama/Will-I-Am Video: 'We Are the Ones' 2008-03-03 11:05:48 Super producer Will-I-Am of the Black Eyed Peas has done it again in assembling an all-star, multicultural cast to literally sing the praises of Senator BarackObama

Bill Clinton Campaigns for Barack Obama 2008-03-02 11:51:38 Technically...the headline is correct. Check out Senator Obama
's latest campaign ad. What would you guys call it? Regardless of your answer, it's a very shrewd use of Bill to support Obama. But it makes Mo'Kelly wonder, isn't there some sort of proprietary issue with using former President Clinton
in any ad that hasn't been sanctioned by Clinton himself?Isn't there some sort of legal/copyright issue involved with using a political figure's photo/likeness in a campaign ad that he clearly didn't support? If there's a lawyer out there, please explain to Mo'Kelly how this works. It makes Mo'Kelly think that a member of Obama nation might have put this together on his/her own and it's not meant for actual broadcast, just a form of viral internet marketing (that Mo'Kelly is now spreading).

Bishop Weeks Finally Releases Tell-All (Rolling Eyes) 2008-02-29 12:03:03 If you were of the opinion that Juanita Bynum and BishopWeeks
had had enough of embarrassing one another, you would be misinformed.No, Mo'Kelly is not talking about whether Juanita Bynum is still supposedly stalling the divorce proceedings. No Mo'Kelly isn't even referring to alleged secret meetings where the couple made one last ditch effort to reconcile.Mo'Kelly is talking about the bomb we've all been "waiting" for...if you let Bishop Weeks tell 'the story.'XXposure PR, the publicist for Bishop Weeks has moved forward with the online release of the book about his stormy marriage to televangelist "Prophetess" Juanita Bynum.Hallelujah.

If You Can't Beat 'em, SUE 'em...Clinton Threatens Texas Lawsuit 2008-02-29 11:25:26 Is it a legitimate concern or litigious gamesmanship (or "womanship") to avoid the inevitable? You be the judge. The Texas
Democratic Party warned on Thursday that election night caucuses scheduled for next Tuesday could be delayed or disrupted after aides to Senator Hillary Clinton
had threatened to sue due to the party's complicated delegate selection process.Although spokespeople for both candidates' campaigns "publicly" and "officially" deny threatening any specific actions prior to the March 4th primary, news outlets are still reporting that Clinton aides are questioning the selection process and haven't ruled out some sort of legal remedy pending a questionable outcome.Texas features a 2-step (no Texas two-step pun intended) selection process which includes both a caucus and prima Read more:Lawsuit
Dear Rev. Sharpie - Mo'Kelly is Right Again! 2008-02-28 15:52:12 Mo'Kelly hates having to keep telling folks "Mo'Kelly told you so" as Mo'Kelly is very humble and very grounded. He NEVER enjoys rubbing his superior intellect in the face of those who disagree with him, especially those pimping African-Americans under the guise of civil rights leadership.No, never.Uh, well maybe not "never."But Mo'Kelly will bring to light the "coincidence" that once again he was right and Rev. Al Sharpton (Rev. Sharpie) was wrong. Recently Rev. Sharpie called out the media and Congress as to the alleged "unfair" treatment of Barry Bonds in comparison to Roger Clemens.To which Mo'Kelly responded..."Barry Bonds' 2007 indictment for perjury stemmed from 2003 grand jury testimony. Note the math here...FOUR years.Clemens finished testifying when? 20 minutes ago? That is Read more:Again

An Open Letter to Johnny Gill and Those Like Him 2008-02-27 13:55:52 There is a real and measurable percentage of African-American men who engage in bisexual relationships. The exact number…who is to say? Regardless of the exact number, there is no argument to be had that the percentage is real and measurable. Additionally, there are men who engage in bisexual relationships who have both a wife and children. A wife and child do not absolve one from the possibility of a clandestine homosexual relationship. These are the facts and they are indisputable. The only “phenomenon” related to the “down-low” discussion was that the African-American community was actually discussing it AT ALL in the public space. The hindrance to that discussion heretofore can rightfully be blamed on African-Americans’ collective stigma placed on anyt Read more:Johnny

The Jesse we all came to know and love, took a step back in history and very quietly reminded us of the Jesse in '84 and '88 with a very nice and unsuspected tip of the fedora to Senator Obama at Saturday's State of the Black Union.Also nicely expressed by former Congressman Cleo Fields later in the program..."Rosa Parks sat down so the rest of us could stand up. We stood up so Dr. King could march. Dr. King marched so Jesse could run. Jesse ran so Obama could WIN!"

'Change to Win' and Cleveland Mayor Endorse Obama 2008-02-21 15:34:13 WASHINGTON (AP) -- The new Change
to Win labor federation gave its first presidential endorsement to Democratic Sen. Barack Obama
on Thursday, saying its 6 million members could help push him over the top and into the general election as the Democratic nominee. "We think we can make a difference," chair Anna Burger said. "We think it's time to bring this nomination to a close." The endorsement came after a teleconference between Change to Win's leaders and the heads of the seven unions that make up the federation. The federation's members will now head to the crucial election states of Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island for the upcoming March 4 primaries, as well as in Pennsylvania on April 22. Change to Win has 175,000 members in Ohio, 60,000 in Texas and 25,000 in Rhode Island Read more:Cleveland

It doesn’t matter if you are White or Black and devoid of any racist bone in your body or conscience, the question crossed your mind.

Ain't No Party Like a 'Clinton' Party? 2008-03-11 19:11:15 Hey, Mo'Kelly doesn't make the news, he just posts it. This video is from a recent stop in Scranton, PA where Senator Clinton
is "serenaded" by a choir/dance troupe/drill team/pep squad/cheerleading squad/sucker MCs.Who they are, what they are isn't exactly clear. Mo'Kelly just found it rather amusing how African-American culture has seeped into every nook and cranny of American life.When a room full of White girls are "serenading" a White woman with "Ain't no party like a Clinton party 'cause a Clinton party don't stop" and using "the dozens" to diss the African-American opposition...in a PRESIDENTIAL campaign race no less...the world is upside down.Next thing you know John Amos/AKA James Evans Sr. will announce he's releasing a country CD.Anyhow, here's the video.(The reminder: You Read more:Party

Positives Reviews of Obama Speech Roll In 2008-03-19 11:09:51 Here is a small sampling of some of the major news sources' coverage of the highly anticipated speech by Senator Barack Obama
on 'race' given yesterday in Philadelphia.The New York Times' editorial ("Mr. Obama's Profile In Courage"): Inaugural addresses by Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt come to mind, as does John F. Kennedy's 1960 speech on religion, with its enduring vision of the separation between church and state. Senator Barack Obama, who has not faced such tests of character this year, faced one on Tuesday. It is hard to imagine how he could have handled it better. Atlantic.com, James Fallows:It was a moment that Obama made great through the seriousness, intelligence, eloquence, and courage of what he said. I don't recall another speech about race with as little pandering Read more:Speech
