'There aren't even any crackheads in Alaska.'

So, that Diddy video, and some thoughts:

- Is he riding a bicycle in a really small circle while filming this??

- He opens by calling this video a "Diddy-Obama blog". Someone should tell Mr. Combs that he's vlogging, not blogging. It's sucking the hipness out of him.

- When he says "Alaska? Alaska. Alaska? Alaska. C'mon man" it sounds exactly Allen Iverson's "Practice" speech. Identical.

- I looove it when Diddy says "If you think we're going to let you win this election...". L-o-v-e it. Apparently, the Rock The Vote members have the final say on presidential politics.

- "This pick [Palin] is not respectful to our lives, to diverse lives..." Just so you know, white people. Disrespectful. Thus says the black Rodney Dangerfield.

- The shout out to McCain's "war hero" bit. I don't think Diddy would know a war from a backstage diva-fight. I think he thinks it makes him look gracious to say that, but it just makes him sound ignorant (unlike the rest of this video, right?).

- "Alaska, muthafucka? Where's the reality in Alaska? There aren't even any crackheads in Alaska. No black people. There's no...crime?" No comment.

On the seriouses, I think this video can prove the point conservatives have been making for years, which is that the "voter registration" efforts like Rock the Vote are simply Democrat operations. Diddy clearly has no interest in registering McCain voters.

Also, let me now take a moment to say that I don't think Diddy speaks for anyone else, above all the black community (as much as there can be a singular group). Black people hate this man as much as white people.
