She wasn’t just known for singing the theme song to Goldfinger. Shirley Bassey is just about the only singer to have been asked to sing a theme song for three James Bond movies. I liked this particularly for the last stanza, when she sings, Diamonds are forever, forever, forever. Chills. I [...]

Shaniya Davis: The Details of Her Rape and Death Emerge
I figured this was what Mario Andrette McNeill did with Shaniya Davis. He choked her to death and tried to hide the evidence of his crimes under bags of deer carcasses. No wonder he had that flicker of a smile on his face as he was being photographed and videoed. He was [...]
PBS Frontline Has a Documentary on Neda Agha-Soltan ندا آقا سلطان
I’m watching this PBS investigative documentary on Neda Agha-Soltan and the Twitter Revolt in Iran in Madison, and I thought I would like to share this information with those who visited my blog this spring at the height of the unrest after the disputed election.

Those New Breast Cancer Guidelines: Keep Doing What YOU Are Doing Right
This episode just goes to show how much we are on our own as it comes to our own bodies: how we perceive them and how we heal them.
Women all over the country must have uttered, arrrrgggghhhh! yesterday, on hearing about the new guidelines for getting a mammogram, basically that women should begin screenings at [...]

A (Gay, Hate) Murder in Puerto Rico
I got this news via Feministe from TowleRoad. It is not, repeat is NOT being covered by the cable/network news organizations at all. Why? Because (1) it’s a hate crime, reminiscent of the Black Dahlia sex murder in Los Angeles in the Forties (which by its nature WAS a hate crime against [...]
At Last Night’s Vigil for Shaniya Davis
Understand that this is from the Associated Press, and the lapses in sound are probably for local and national news organizations to fill in with commentary for their own purposes.
Bradley Lockhart, shown off his head and supported by black members of his church at this vigil attended by dozens of grieving parents, grandparents, strangers and [...]

Dr. Thomas Schlenker, director of Public Health Madison and Dane County, said that each day they’ll be giving out approximately 5,000 vaccines. Both clinics will be held at the [...]

Blue Hippo Sued by FTC; Only One Computer Sent While $15 Million Was Pocketed in Layaway Fees
Hat tip to Prometheus 6, which famously insists, “Don’t lie on Black folks, don’t lie about Black folk,” and “Don’t lie to Black folks.”
You’ve probably seen commercials by a company, Blue Hippo, claiming that it would allow consumers to buy brand-name computers on layaway. I have. I even thought about looking into Blue [...]

Sapphire Interviewed by Katie Couric About “Precious”
Hat tip to What About Our Daughters? (WAOD)
Some quarters of the black community are up in arms about this film (and have their oyster knives out for Tyler Perry’s adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls… coming next year.) They say that almost all of Precious Jones’ helpers are almost all light-skinned; that it [...]

They’ve Got the Guy in the Video, But Five-Year-Old Shaniya Davis Is Still Missing
This is weird upon weird. There’s a nasty missing piece here that I don’t like to dwell on.
On November 11, a family who has had several run-ins with the social services department as well as with the police in Fayetteville, North Carolina called in to the cops to say that their little daughter had [...]

Massive Fail at News Organizations: It Was Sergeant Mark Todd Who Brought Down Major Nidal Hasan
Even I initially bought it: the fearless blonde police officer, a young mom of two, hard-changing up the hill towards the danger and eventually taking down the big bad terrorist. It would have made great TV and Hollywood. It would have made great military recruiting PR. But after a while, it did not [...]
Jasmyne Cannick on EURweb.com: “Time to Nut Up or Shut Up” About Mitrice Richardson
(This is the last of four videos of a prayer service for Mitrice Richardson held on October 10, at the New Testament Church in Los Angeles.)
In case you missed it, Jasmyne Cannick unloaded on Electronic Urban Report this week about all the issues: police footdragging, stonewalling, the constant rewriting and changing of the story and [...]

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.)

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.
