It was October, 2004 when Queen Latifah played the star of Taxi, Belle Williams – a tough woman who rode in a tricked out taxi through the streets of New York. The story line keeps you on your feet as she teams up with a cop, Jimmy Fallon, to peruse her dreams and more. Queen Latifah praised Belle's determination, "She just loves racing. Every dime that she makes after rent and paying the bills goes into the taxi that she's building-this thing that's completely illegal and faster than anything on the streets." The script is filled with comedy and is hilarious.

Queen Latifah had worked with Fallon previously when she hosted Saturday Night Live in 2003. http://www.saturdaynightlive.com

So, its no surprise, almost 4 years to the day of Taxi’s debut, in a week of passing the largest bailout in the history of the American government, in a week when unemployment is now above 6%, in a week when so many ginormous publicly traded companies are buying each other, the Cover Girl Queen herself brings great comedy relief to SNL watchers and You tube viewers! For those of you living in a tree, here is the 11 minute clip of the soulful, hip Queen Latifah as Gwen Ifll, PBS’s moderator, Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and cast member Jason Sudeikis as Joe Biden, as they reenact Thursday’s singular Vice-Presidential debate.

How come while we can, on occasion, laugh at ourselves, it is still much easier to laugh at others? Human nature, 101, I guess. And with such great fodder available to poke fun at, why not? Gosh Darnit! :)
