Major Hasan’s Three-Minute Rampage at Fort Hood: Thoughts and Implications
(Shoshanna Johnson, BTW, is the first African American woman soldier captured as a prisoner of war in Iraq. And Phil McGraw never looked less a media whore than he did in this Larry King segment.)
Right now Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s treachery on Thursday is running neck and neck with unemployed Jason Rodriguez’ Orlando, Florida [...]

Rihanna on GMA: “I Feel Ashamed…Eff Love.”
Yeah, eff love.
Because, definitely, that wasn’t love. From O.J. and Nicole Simpson to Billie Holiday and Joe Guy, Jimmy Monroe, and Louis McKay, etc. , to James Brown and his myriad relationships, legal or extralegal.
This is the first part. And then, there’s supposedly another interview tomorrow morning and a less edited version on [...]

Carl Ballantine, Magician and “Gruber,” Dies at 92
Now, why would I change up and start mentioning a old Jewish vaudevillian magician and actor who deliberately flubbed his tricks for bad, but good jokes?
Because I liked Carl Ballantine, born Meyer Kessler. And I liked him when he was Lester Gruber, one of the seven wise-ass crew members of the PT 73, [...]

To Cleveland Cops, The Lives of Black Women Were Cheap
Because some of the missing women were on crack, police refused to listen to the pleas of their loved ones that the women had disappeared.
The police made fun of the relatives who insisted on filing a missing person’s report. In the case of Tanya Carmichael, they had to ask for a superior to have [...]

President Obama’s Coming to Madison; The Excitement Builds
There hasn’t been a sitting president visiting Wisconsin’s capital since the days of Harry Truman. Meaning, about 1950. A political blog last week called this a victory lap for Obama, since this is about the time he was elected to the presidency last year. Possibly, but his speech about educational incentives from [...]

Two–No, Three–FOUR More Bodies Found in Anthony Sowell’s Backyard; Stepmother Safe in Nursing Home
They are just reporting on the ninth body as I write. When I am almost finished, the Cleveland cops report that ten people’s remains have been removed from Anthony Sowell’s home; up to four today. The police are going to working throughout the night to see if there are any more.
Sisters. Poor [...]

Michael Jackson: This “Man in the Mirror” Couldn’t Make It to His Own Concert
I’m using this song to illustrate what I thought about the Jackson memorial documentary, This is It. It’s also the last song that Jackson sings at the end of the documentary before his dancers, singers, band and handlers. Instead of the crowds in London, we have become his audience. His final audience.
Remember, [...]

This Guy’s Inner Hell is Paving His Way INTO Hell: Six Bodies of Women Found Under Cleveland, OH House
Well, Happy Hallowe’en, huh? The holiday is now over, but the nightmare’s just beginning. On top of the Richmond High rape episode, now this. Only two more months to the end of the year, and the freaks are coming out big time. And it doesn’t have to be at night.

Other High School Students Are Trying to Process What the Richmond High Rape Case Means
Over at New America Media, other kids in the Bay Area and elsewhere are trying to make sense of this mess.

Here are some of the responses at the NAM Youth Media Group and YoBlogger:
The Friend Who Couldn’t Talk
If I witnessed a rape, I wouldn’t let it happen. It’s so sad to know these scary things [...]

President Barack Obama Signs the Matthew Shepard-James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act
Lest you forget…it’s for this boy.

And for this man who was dragged to his death in a place called Jasper, TX.

The new law will expand “the 1969 United States federal hate-crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim’s actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.”
The bill also:

removes the current prerequisite that [...]

Richmond High Gang Rape Update: The Kids Are Pissed Off
I’m glad to hear that many Richmond High kids are upset about how their school has been made ground zero for grave misbehavior. But the adults–parents and school administrators–have long abrogated responsibility, whether it has to do with raising their children or slow-poking setting up security cameras and better lighting around the school.
While the [...]

The Richmond High CA Gang Rape Case: She’s a Puta Now
Not only should the six or seven guys who ran a train on this girl should have the book thrown at them, but the up to twenty-five guys the cops are saying who watched and snickered and got off on the entire scene for two and a half hours should have charges lodged against them. [...]

Vietnamese San Jose State Student Beaten By San Jose Cops
I’m an alumna of San Jose State University, San Jose, California.
Go Spartans.
I graduated from there in 1976, the Bicentennial Year. Things were pretty quiet by the time I arrived there in 1972. Some of the football team lived on the fourth floor of my dorm. There was no campus activism. The [...]

Oscar Grant Update: Johannes Mehserle Trial To Move to Another California City; Judge Agrees That Oakland and Alameda County Can’t Give Him a Fair Trial
Simi Valley, anyone?
If this trial doesn’t go to a city like Los Angeles or Sacramento, and if it goes to some predominantly-white, gated, Rush/Hannity/Beck, cop-loving town, no matter how far it is from Oakland, there will be unrest. If it doesn’t turn out as a guilty verdict for Johannes Mehserle, parts of Oaktown are [...]
