How come it seems like the ONLY thing the NAACP cares about is how and how many blacks are represented on TV?  Now they're mad at the Emmys.  We don't want to get all "mote" and "beam" on them, but it's hard to criticize someone else's awards show when yours is such a joke.

Image Award winner, best comedy.

Sure, President Obama's Monday night appearance on Letterman drew a ton of viewers, seven million to be exact.  But lest we forget who's the true HNIC, Obama's audience was about half of what Oprah drew to Letterman's show four years ago.

What do you get when you cross Oprah with Tyler Perry (other than one really, big woman*) -- the audience favorite at the Toronto Independent Film Festival.

The immensely unpopular New York Gov. David Patterson plans on running to keep  his job.  The White House doesn't want him to.  Patterson vs. Obama.  However it shakes out, it's all good for Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen.
