Barack: "I think it's important to realize that I was actually black before the election."

Oh, how I heart the Prez.

Tina Fey on Sarah Palin: Not Since "Sling Blade" Has There Been a Voice Like Hers

I'm a couple of days late with this clip of Tina Fey talking to Letterman about doing Sarah Palin. You know I love Tina Fey; Tina Fey doing Palin is utter bliss. Check out this clip of Fey on Friday's Letterman.

No, Dave! Nooooooooo!

From The Huffington Post:

David Letterman and Sen. John McCain will get a chance to make up.

The Republican presidential candidate is scheduled to appear on Letterman's "Late Show" on Thursday.

It will be McCain's 13th visit to the CBS program but his first since he angered Letterman by canceling last month.

Letterman was unhappy when McCain sat for an interview with Katie Couric instead of him on Sept. 24.

At the time he said he first felt like a "patriot" to let McCain off his commitment to deal with the economy but "now I'm feeling like an ugly date."

A McCain spokeswoman said at the time that because of the economic crisis, the campaign "felt this wasn't a night for comedy."

Sarah Palin's running-mate flaked on David Letterman; "this doesn't smell right," he says.

DL, I concur.

Why is McSame in Such a Rush to Flake on Letterman?

Especially since the fundamentals of the economy are strong?

From Drudge Report:

David Letterman tells audience that McCain called him today to tell him he had to rush back to DC to deal with the economy.

Then in the middle of the taping Dave got word that McCain was, in fact just down the street being interviewed by Katie Couric. Dave even cut over to the live video of the interview, and said, “Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home?”

Earlier in the show, Dave kept saying, “You don’t suspend your campaign. This doesn’t smell right. This isn’t the way a tested hero behaves.” And he joked: “I think someone’s putting something in his metamucil.”

“He can’t run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sara [sic] Palin. Where is she?”

“What are you going to do if you’re elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We’ve got a guy like that now!”

Suggested Viewing: Obama on September 10 Letterman

Please check out Letterman's three segment interview with Obama on the September 10 episode. I almost can't help but really like Obama. He is so funny and does a great job explaining things to Letterman and the viewers. They talked about lipstick on a pig, the possibility of Obama appearing on the cover of Popular Mechanics and how Obama may have handled the aftermath of 9/11 if he had been president. I really hope you take the time to watch the interview in its entirety (apx. 24 minutes total).

I'm Drinking Fermented Tea with Slimy Yeast Bits. Thanks, Toves!

My besty, Tovah, has gotten me hooked on this weird, fermented Chinese tea caled Kombucha. It tastes like vinegar, has slime bits floating in it and may explode if it is shaken but I keep drinking it. It may be only a coincidence but since I have been drinking it daily, my issues with night time heartburn are nearly gone! I feel good and it has lots of probiotics, amino acids and organic acids.

Tina Fey was also drinking Kombucha. She talked about it on Letterman last August. She talks about it around minute 4 but the whole thing is really funny, just like her.
