Today I read the November issue of Essence Magazine and shook my head in disbelief. I remember this magazine being interesting once upon a time, now it’s about as relevant to the black women as butt injections. I read it and I thought to myself, “Boy I am glad I didn’t purchase this magazine”. Let me break Essence Magazine in a nutshell

Advertisements: 75% of the magazine is Ad’s

Barack Obama: Okay, I Kitty Bradshaw am voting for Barack Obama… but I’m thinking it would of been interesting for Essence to spotlight other Presidential Candidates… also I am sure there are other African Americans running for office throughout the country (i.e. Mayors, Senators, Judges, etc…) can they get some shine too?! I mean they need our vote on Nov. 4th as well…

.5% is dedicated to truly interesting people and they get one paragraph to introduce themselves. In the November issue Idris Elba got his half paragraph=30 seconds of shine in Essence… and the Journalist asked him some random dumb question about his accent?!

Kitty Bradshaw’s thoughts: Ok, you have an intelligent successful black man sitting in front of you and the best you could ask was about his accent?! I’ve read more interesting interviews in Black Tail Magazine smh…. Essence needs to hire me to do some interviewing… I will get the answers Black Women want to hear!

Black Women in Debt: *thinking* are all black women in debt?! Must we read about black women in debt every month?! I mean are black women the only race of women who go into debt?! Can we spotlight black women who have their finances in check for once?! What do they do in their spare time?! *sheesh* already!

Black women overweight: Ok, Black women with weight issues need to be addressed… but someone needs to do a better job of working it into the issue. It’s like an Elephant thrown into a china store… it makes you wanna ignore it. It doesn’t fit… I would post some idea’s but then again I am not getting paid for my contributions so I will keep them to myself for now. If the powers that be at Essence want to hit me up for consulting… I am at their service (for a small fee of course).

Book Section: To many pages are dedicated to buying books 8 for a penny…. then you get the best sellers list… then you get one paragraph dedicated to the Book of the Month Club…. wait, why is it that they always pick the most uninteresting book to read?! Lastly, is it to much to get an honest opinion on a book?! I mean I don’t necessarily like every book that I read… hell I can’t stand any book that Zane writes and can list reasons why. Why does Essence always got to give every author free positive press regardless if the book is good or bad. If that’s the case Essences should just do a “Pick’s of the Month” and keep it pushing.

Beyonce: Ok, she was the cover girl of the month… but I find that every issue has Beyonce in it in some form or fashion. ENOUGH ALREADY! Ok, she is pretty! She sells records! She is also the most uninteresting, successful person in history! She has nothing to say that is worth hearing. Essence… everyone is not a fan! It’s not hate… it’s called having the God given right to like something other then Beyonce. Everyone’s taste are not the same… Essence latches on to one topic or person and they beat you over the damn head with it!!!! I think Beyonce should become the editor of Essence, lolll.

Speaking of which, what happened to the chick with Corn Rows?! She did a good job of running Essence. They need to bring her back ASAP!

Recipes: Umm… fire the chef! The same type foods/ same colors/ same damn thing just a different ingredient every month! I have some ideas here as well, but then again I am not getting paid for consulting! I am sending my rant into Essence and let’s see if they respond.

*sighs* Essence… I dislike what you have become… don’t get me wrong I don’t hate you like I hate BET but I am a concerned reader who is saying: It’s not to late to make a change!

Kind Regards,
Kitty Bradshaw

(Commission On Presidential Debates) The following is a transcript of the third and final presidential debate between Republican Sen. John McCain, Ariz., and Democrat Sen. Barack Obama, Ill., on Oct. 15, 2008 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y.. The moderator of the debate was Bob Schieffer, CBS News chief Washington correspondent and moderator of Face The Nation. This transcript was released by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

SCHIEFFER: Good evening. And welcome to the third and last presidential debate of 2008, sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates. I’m Bob Schieffer of CBS News.

The rules tonight are simple. The subject is domestic policy. I will divide the next hour-and-a-half into nine-minute segments.

I will ask a question at the beginning of each segment. Each candidate will then have two minutes to respond, and then we’ll have a discussion.

I’ll encourage them to ask follow-up questions of each other. If they do not, I will.

The audience behind me has promised to be quiet, except at this moment, when we welcome Barack Obama and John McCain.

Ohio plumber becomes focus of debate
Meet Joe Wurzelbacher; he says he couldn’t buy business under Obama plan
The Associated Press
updated 10:41 p.m. ET, Wed., Oct. 15, 2008

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Who is Joe the Plumber?

He is Joe Wurzelbacher, an Ohio man looking to buy a plumbing business who came to symbolize the notion of spreading the wealth in Wednesday night’s third and final presidential debate between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain.

Earlier this week, when Wurzelbacher got a chance to speak with Obama during a campaign appearance in Toledo, he told Obama that his tax plan would keep him from buying the business that currently employs him.

Sensing an opportunity during the debate, McCain cited that exchange when the candidates were asked to explain why their economic plans are better than their opponent’s. McCain said Obama’s plan would stop entrepreneurs from investing in new small businesses and keep existing ones from growing.

“Joe wants to buy the business that he has been in for all of these years, worked 10, 12 hours a day. And he wanted to buy the business but he looked at your tax plan and he saw that he was going to pay much higher taxes,” McCain challenged Obama.

“You were going to put him in a higher tax bracket which was going to increase his taxes, which was going to cause him not to be able to employ people, which Joe was trying to realize the American dream,” McCain said.

Differences over tax policy
McCain then looked directly into the television camera and said: “Joe, I want to tell you, I’ll not only help you buy that business that you worked your whole life for and I’ll keep your taxes low and I’ll provide available and affordable health care for you and your employees. And I will not stand for a tax increase on small business income.”

Obama denied that was true.

“Not only do 98 percent of small businesses make less than $250,000, but I also want to give them additional tax breaks, because they are the drivers of the economy,” Obama said. “They produce the most jobs.”

So what did Wurzelbacher (pronounced whur-zell-BAHK-er) think about becoming the center of the debate?

“It’s pretty surreal, man, my name being mentioned in a presidential campaign,” he said minutes after hearing McCain utter his name.

In Toledo on Sunday, Wurzelbacher told Obama that he was preparing to buy the company, which earns more than $250,000 a year, and said: “Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?”

Obama said that under his proposal taxes on any revenue from $250,000 on down would stay the same, but that amounts above that level would be subject to a 39 percent tax, instead of the current 36 percent rate.

“And the reason why we’re doing that is because 95 percent of small businesses make less than 250 (thousand). So what I want to do is give them a tax cut. I want to give all these folks who are bus drivers, teachers, auto workers who make less, I want to give them a tax cut,” he said.

Spread the wealth around
Wurzelbacher protested, saying he’s been a hardworking plumber for 15 years and why should he be taxed more.

“It’s not that I want to punish your success,” Obama said. “I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you that they’ve got a chance at success, too.”

At a later point in the discussion, Obama said: “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody. But listen, I respect what you do and I respect your question, and even if I don’t get your vote, I’m still gonna be working hard on your behalf because small businesses are what creates jobs in this country and I want to encourage it.”

Wurzelbacher’s name came up again when the debate turned to a discussion of health care policies.

He said Obama’s reaction on the tax question left him feeling uneasy.

“I didn’t think much of it the first time I heard it,” Wurzelbacher said, adding that he still thinks Obama’s plan would keep him from buying the business.

About McCain: “He’s got it right as far as I go.”

Even so, Wurzelbacher declined to say which candidate would get his vote on Nov. 4.

“That’s for me and a button to know,” he said.

I am going to keep it real with yall… I fell asleep on that damn debate. I made it like 90% through then fell asleep in the middle of one of McCain’s sentences.

Yall know how yall start to feel sleepy and you try to fight it?! There wasn’t any fight on my part at all! All I remember is McCain was say “My friends…” then next thing I know the CNN analysis show was on. I shot straight up out of my sleep and was like , “Huh, what happened… is it over?! Damn, what time is it? Hmmmm, 11:15 pm eh? Well let me get to posting the transcript and video on my site…”

I made it as far as posting the transcript… then fell asleep again in the middle of pulling the video… smh so I woke back up @ 3 am and finally posted the video.

My question is why do they start these debates so late? I mean by the time you watch the pre-show, the debate, then the after party its already time for you to get ready and go to work. Thank goodness it’s only one more debate left (this time next week in New York). I hope it’s not another one of these Town Hall Meeting formats.I don’t like the fact that one candidate can make an accusation, and the other can’t respond to it.

In addition, I didn’t like the way McCain has be disrespectful to Obama by not looking him in the eye, referring to him as “That One”, acting like he is too good to shake his hand, etc… McCain lacks integrity… both candidates and their perspective VP’s have been guilty of giving inaccurate information but McCain/Palin comes across as doing it intentional to slander Senator Obama/ Biden. While Obama/Biden are so busy trying to counter attack the cheap shots be thrown at them, they are scrambling for information off the top of their head.

My question is… how can one prepare for a debate where your opponent throws out random false information?! It is clear to me political ambition is more important then this country and it people to McCain. POW my ass… it doesn’t hold water at this point. McCain is a disgrace to honorable soldiers.

I tried to stay neutral on my website and not try to sway the opinions of my readers one way or the other… but as a African American, McCain has offended me… yes, I am throwing the race card out… I DO NOT like the way McCain has conducted himself towards Obama. McCain needs to show a little more respect and stop acting as if he is detested at the sight of Obama. I am not saying McCain represents White America, nor do I feel all Caucasians are racist. What I am saying is; as someone who has been treated in the same manner by people who hate me because of the color of my skin… McCain has conducted himself in that same manner and that is turn has touched a nerve. This goes beyond aggressive politics/campaigning. McCain has taken politics back to a low we haven’t seen in about 100 years.

Career wise they are peers. Obama, (although I don’t agree with him 100% on everything) has been nothing but respectable and an overall gentlemen during this election towards his competitors, mainly McCain. I don’t care how many Uncle Tom’s McCain has around him rubbing lips against his ass… He has shown himself to be a low class, despicable human being and I hope Americans have enough sense to not elect him into office.

Kitty says: Ok, I am done ranting now!

Alrighty, let me jump right into this one… This movie started out horrible! It wasn’t the actors as much as it was the writing. I was annoyed at how they were over exaggerated and the Black Soldiers came across as buffoons. But then low and behold the movie took a sharp right turn and went for the better, right around the time they crossed the river…. then it went full speed ahead!

I have never, ever, witnessed a movie that started out horrible then ended up being fantastic!
Spike, I just wish you would of took it a step further with the writing… I feel like you played it safe with the characters. I mean we got a taste of them being militant but they could of been slightly more mad at Whitey (note: can yall tell I have been watching blaxploitation movies this past weekend, lolll?).

I felt like Spike was trying to get some Oscar Buzz by making critics happy … but too many people in the industry don’t like Spike Lee especially Clint Eastwood, lolll! You already crossed that line of playing it safe when you depicted how the US military treated the Buffalo soldiers during WWII. I mean don’t just stick your toes in the water, I think Spike Lee should of jumped all the way in. So the end result… Spike Lee failed to impress the critics…. *thinking* do critics ever give movies on race relations good reviews?! I’m not trying to throw the race card down… I am just pointing out that the topic of race is a very uncomfortable subject in this country…. so don’t expect any awards, good reviews, or pats on the back for movies dealing with the treatment of Blacks, Hispanics, Gays, or anyone else not falling into the status quo.

So the ending of the movie, I almost cried. I got a little misty… It was one of those “The Green Mile, your wife’s cornbread shole is good!” moments. *shrugs* I’m a girl and I am a mean girl so when something draws me to the point of tears… it was truly sad.

One thing critics are saying about this movie is that it had to many story lines going in different directions… however with all the many, many story lines Spike Lee managed to do what most can not… which is offer closure. At the end of the movie we knew the fate of each and every character be it life, death, happy or sad… everyone had an ending.

Kitty says:  For the people who did see the movie.. did yall notice Omar from “The WIre” in the beginning?!  He was the one crying for his mama…. it’s good to see him getting into movies… he was my favorite character from The Wire. 

One last thing I wanna cover… my new boyfriend of the week… Laz Alonso… I’m not sure if I should admit this to yall.. but he definately kept my attention the whole movie. Laz Alonso is to Miricle at St. Anna what Orlando Bloom was to Lord of the Rings… Sexy sexy sexy…. I wonder if David Dust will come over an give his seal of approval, lolll

Kitty says: Chocolate spannish dudes are the best!!! yum yum…. it was like Christmas in the middle of the movie everytime he came on the screen! 

Update: Video is finally up! Sorry it took so long I fell asleep in the middle of posting… these debates run past my bedtime, lolll

Below you will find video and transcript of part 2 of the presidential debate…

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) — Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama debated in Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday night. NBC’s Tom Brokaw moderated the debate. Here is a transcript of that debate.

Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain meet in Nashville for their second debate.

Brokaw: Good evening from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. I’m Tom Brokaw of NBC News. And welcome to this second presidential debate, sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

Tonight’s debate is the only one with a town hall format. The Gallup Organization chose 80 uncommitted voters from the Nashville area to be here with us tonight. And earlier today, each of them gave me a copy of their question for the candidates.

From all of these questions — and from tens of thousands submitted online — I have selected a long list of excellent questions on domestic and foreign policy.

Neither the commission nor the candidates have seen the questions. And although we won’t be able to get to all of them tonight, we should have a wide-ranging discussion one month before the election.

Each candidate will have two minutes to respond to a common question, and there will be a one-minute follow-up. The audience here in the hall has agreed to be polite, and attentive, no cheering or outbursts. Those of you at home, of course, are not so constrained.

The only exception in the hall is right now, as it is my privilege to introduce the candidates, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

Below is the transcript and video of the vice president debate…

Gwen IFILL: Good evening from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. I’m Gwen Ifill of “The NewsHour” and “Washington Week” on PBS. Welcome to the first and the only 2008 vice presidential debate between the Republican nominee, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, and the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden of Delaware.

The Commission on Presidential Debates is the sponsor of this event and the two remaining presidential debates. Tonight’s discussion will cover a wide range of topics, including domestic and foreign policy matters.

It will be divided roughly into five-minute segments. Each candidate will have 90 seconds to respond to a direct question and then an additional two minutes for rebuttal and follow-up. The order has been determined by a coin toss.

The specific subjects and questions were chosen by me and have not been shared or cleared with anyone on the campaigns or on the commission. The audience here in the hall has promised to remain very polite, no cheers, applause, no untoward outbursts, except right at this minute now, as we welcome Gov. Palin and Sen. Biden.

Sarah PALIN: Nice to meet you.

Joe BIDEN: It’s a pleasure.

PALIN: Hey, can I call you Joe?

BIDEN: (OFF-MIKE)

PALIN: Thank you.

Thank you, Gwen. Thank you. Thank you.

IFILL: Welcome to you both.

As we have determined by a coin toss, the first question will go to Sen. Biden, with a 90-second follow-up from Gov. Palin.

The House of Representatives this week passed a bill, a big bailout bill — or didn’t pass it, I should say. The Senate decided to pass it, and the House is wrestling with it still tonight.
Don’t Miss

* Biden, Palin face off
* Election Center 2008
* Biden, Palin have different missions in debate

As America watches these things happen on Capitol Hill, Sen. Biden, was this the worst of Washington or the best of Washington that we saw play out?
