Forget Dave "I don't want $50 million" Chapelle, WTF is Aaron McGruder gonna do during an Obama Presidency? Where my Boondocks at? Obama was mentioned only once in passing on a Season 2 episode.

Chocolate news is a little rough so far, but I can watch David Allan Grier do Maya Angelou impressions all day long.

While I agree with the sentiment, many of your readers probably have children younger than that reference.

I have been saying this all election.

Can we at least get a one-hour special Dave? I need to know what he thinks of Sarah Palin, right now.

Also, you totally spit hot fiyah.

Funny you bring up Chapelle. He's actually the only reason I have left not to vote for Obama. He pointed out that in the movies the meteor strikes and alien invasions always happen on the black president's watch.

Too risky.

"Doncha wish your blogger was hot like me.

Doncha wish your blogger was a freak like me..."

I hope you know that Aaliyah had no part in that garbage. She was dead when it came out.

The odd thing about Chappelle, he seems like this would be the best time to be on stage. I had hope there for a minute he was on the comeback, remember that moment during the South Carolina debate between Barrack and Hillary. Not the slum-lord Walmart moment, but that moment when at once all Chappelle show fans yawped in unison,"What the f----, was that..."

If you know not what I speaketh, fast forward to the 4:20(irony...)mark and enjoy:

I would say, you're "Hot like fire" like the Aaliyah song

I'm with Henry- Chapelle would be brilliant right about now. Chocolate News is kinda funny, but it just ain't the same. And as for Mencia, don't get me started.

In all seriousness, though, you've been on fire lately, TNC. Keep it up!

Funny..I would say, you're "Hot like fire" like the Aaliyah song or "He's on Fire" a la Marv panty wearing Albert. Btw, Making the Band was so four years ago.. I think that was the last time I watched anything on MTV.

For those who don't know who Aaliyah is here is her wiki page

I was on my way home when you posted this, TNC. Thanks for being the first person with a podium to say we're missing Dave right now. If he hadn't left, Comedy Central wouldn't have had to hire Carlos Mencia to fill their token ethnic dude quota. I've yet to see Chocolate News for some reason. Maybe, though, maybe Dave is happy he's not doing material in the shit storm that is this election. But man, if there were ever a time we needed Chapelle, it's now.

DIE-LON, DIE-LON, DIE-LON, DIE-LON, AND DIE-LON!

This should keep his ego stroked for a while... with apologies to Angus and the game:

See him ride out of that sunset

On your color LCD

Out for all the Diggs that he can get

If you know what I mean

No-one to the left of him,

Douthat to the right

Ain't got no gun, ain't got no knife

Don't you start no fight...

Cause he's T.N.C.

He's dynamite

T.N.C.

He knows how to write

T.N.C.

He's a power load

T.N.C

Watch his head explode....

Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!

Or something like that...

This reminds me of when John Lennon was asked (in all seriousness) by an American journalist:

Journalist: "Is Ringo Starr the best drummer in the world?"

John Lennon: "He's not the best drummer in The Beatles"

Perhaps he meant "on fire" ala Richard Pyror sense of the term.
