Sista Beehive on Black Mormons on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyiK2vXz1eKBwy5pB9xdLUtJQ67G1CPvnCDj43CwdimH1Vf7mf05dRRibUcUnhdnHB2Gr6-Lu6sehoWBtTARd6At6Rffm536CFCVarEzmlmBoJ9t5YCGoaWIjk63hBfYAr5yI4wRhboWU/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyiK2vXz1eKBwy5pB9xdLUtJQ67G1CPvnCDj43CwdimH1Vf7mf05dRRibUcUnhdnHB2Gr6-Lu6sehoWBtTARd6At6Rffm536CFCVarEzmlmBoJ9t5YCGoaWIjk63hBfYAr5yI4wRhboWU/s200/2.jpg" width="200" /></a>When I got the call that The Daily Show with Jon Stewart wanted to talk to black Mormons about our assumed voting dilemma the first thing I said was, "how did you get my number?" Cause where I come from you guard your phone number as much as you do your social security number.<br /><br />After I found out who I needed to call and <strike>cuss out</strike>  talk to about sharing my digits I said, "I'll think about it and let you know." That was three months ago and obviously I eventually said yes.<br /><br />Here's what I want y'all to know; we filmed for THREE, I repeat THREE hours. And I think that Jon Stewart might have something against Mormons cause craft services (that's what the call the people who feed you in showbiz) was no where to be found and we were HUNGRY. <a href="http://www.sistasinzion.com/2012/10/jimmy-kimmel-doesnt-believe-there-are.html" target="_blank">Jimmy Kimmel doesn't believe that black Mormons exist</a> and Jon Stewart is trying to starve to death the ones who do. That's probably why the black republican guy was so angry.<br /><br />And what they call argumentative and intolerant we call famine without a fast. When they locked a group of black people in a room for three hours without feeding them, what did they think would happen? They lucky we didn't start Hunger Games up in there. I'm sayin' not a drop of green jello was to be found. Well when we die I hope that Jon Stewart knows to get the funeral potatoes ready.<br /><br />At the end of the day the Sistas would consider going on The Daily Show again, but we are going to have to send him a rider with our list of demands cause Sistas gotta eat. And keep this on the DL, but Jon Stewart might moonlight as a Mormon Bishop cause none of us got paid to be on the show, y'all I think Jon Stewart tried to give me a <a href="http://lds.about.com/od/organizationsauxiliaries/p/church_callings.htm" target="_blank">calling</a>!<br /><br />Ps: All of us in the video actually know each other and are good friends, not that we're saying all black Mormons know each other...cause that would sound crazy...<br /><br /><b>Check out Sista Beehive on The Daily Show in the video below:</b><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: whitesmoke; color: #333333; font: 11px arial; height: 340px; width: 512px;"><tbody><tr style="background-color: #e5e5e5;" valign="middle"><td style="padding: 2px 1px 0px 5px;"><a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/" style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Daily Show with Jon Stewart</a></td><td style="font-weight: bold; padding: 2px 5px 0px 5px; text-align: right;">Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c</td></tr><tr style="height: 14px;" valign="middle"><td colspan="2" style="padding: 2px 1px 0px 5px;"><a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/tue-october-9-2012/the-black-mormon-vote" style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Black Mormon Vote</a></td></tr><tr style="background-color: #353535; height: 14px;" valign="middle"><td colspan="2" style="overflow: hidden; padding: 2px 5px 0px 5px; text-align: right; width: 512px;"><a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/" style="color: #96deff; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.thedailyshow.com</a></td></tr><tr valign="middle"><td colspan="2" style="padding: 0px;"><embed allowfullscreen="true" allownetworking="all" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="autoPlay=false" height="288" src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:item:comedycentral.com:419963" style="display: block;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" wmode="window"></embed></td></tr><tr style="height: 18px;" valign="middle"><td colspan="2" style="padding: 0px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="height: 100%px; margin: 0px; text-align: center; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr valign="middle"><td style="padding: 3px; width: 33%;"><a href="http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/" style="color: #333333; font: 10px arial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Daily Show Full Episodes</a></td><td style="padding: 3px; width: 33%;"><a href="http://www.indecisionforever.com/" style="color: #333333; font: 10px arial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Political Humor & Satire Blog</a></td><td style="padding: 3px; width: 33%;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow" style="color: #333333; font: 10px arial; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Daily Show on Facebook</a></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>Praise God Almighty,<br />Sista Beehive

Males can now serve missions straight out of high school and be back in the game at age 20.

Justin grew up moving around the United States, has spent two years in Spain, and his blues-rock roots have picked up a variety of flavors along the way. Justin Cash’s natural joie de vivre brings you to a feel good place where music grooves and melody is king, with songs that acknowledge a range of emotions, yet are propelled by his active belief that there is good in the world.<br /><br />To learn more about  Justin Cash and his music visit <a href="http://gojustincash.com/">gojustincash.com</a>.
