That would be sad. But it would sure make that “Civil War” crossover with Marvel Films easier!

Still Laughing About……
……..the coming confrontation between Santa and The Doctor–and them having “beef,” yet! LOL! Can’t wait until Christmas!
(Of course, if Brits can feel free to put “Santa,” “The Doctor” and “beef” in the same sentence, it might be time to officially retire the word. :))
DECEMBER 17th UPDATE: Okay.

President@CapitalPressClub.orgNational Press Club and Capital Press Club (CPC) to Make Historic Acknowledgement During CPC 70th Anniversary Gala This Week
Joint forum to discuss media coverage of Ferguson and race in America slated for early 2015The Capital Press Club, founded in 1944 during the 47 years in which the National Press Club refused to accept Black members, will honor nine legendary Black journalists Thursday, Dec. 4, during its 70th Anniversary gala reception at the National Press Club.
The Theme of the evening will be “70 Years in the Black, Telling Our Own Stories, Pleading Our Own Cause”.
Honorees will include Simeon Booker, pioneering editor, JET Magazine; Barbara Reynolds, founding editor, USA Today; JC Hayward, iconic anchorwoman, WUSA; Roy Lewis, photographer, the Black Press; Paul Brock, pioneering journalist; Denise Rolark Barnes, publisher, Washington Informer; April Ryan, White House Correspondent, American Urban Radio Networks; Joe Madison, Radio Talk Show Host, SiriusXM; Richard Prince, columnist, Journal-isms, Maynard Institute.
In addition to the awards, National Press Club President Myron Belkind and Capital Press Club President Hazel Trice Edney will reflect on the impact of the National Press Club’s refusal to accept Black members from its founding in 1908 to 1955 when it accepted its first African-American male member. Historically, it is well-known and publicized that the NPC did not accept Blacks as members until 1955. However, the historicity of this acknowledgement is – in part – that it will be made in the presence of the Capital Press Club, which was formed because of the racial discrimination.
Belkind and Edney will then announce a joint 2015 forum to discuss media coverage of race issues in America, to be held at the National Press Club, using the Ferguson riots as a microcosm.

Asante Sana, Anwar Amal (Marion Barry)
So what’s the formula? (It’s why whites around the country never “got” him, but some journalists who covered him understood.)
It’s easy!
Feed the poor, house the elderly and give its youth summer jobs;
Make sure the Black middle class gets some corporate contracts, and
Make sure the white middle class gets the buildings they want.
Simple. Powerful. Thank you!
(I guess The Washington City Paper is happy to finally obit him, since it had been doing that for YEARS.)
Another Angola 3 Member, Albert Woodfox, To Be Freed?
Let’s hope so! I’m sure Herman Wallace would have been “happy” about this!
NOVEMBER 24th UPDATE: Glad to see “Democracy Now!” did a segment!
re: “Doctor Who” Season 8: I’m Not As Hard As The Writer Linked Below……
…….but I did feel this season felt a little more uneven than normal. It could be that it took me the whole season to adjust to the new Doctor. And boy, I said I wanted a darker Doctor, but instead I got a dark season. The good episodes were really good, Coleman showed she deserved to be the star of this season, and Season 8 was different, I’ll give it that. With more than 50 episodes into the “Nu Who,” the 50th anniversary, etc., maybe I’m suffering from “Doctor Who” fatigue.
I thought this was amusing!
NOVEMBER 18th UPDATE: This was funny, and GREAT!
And once again, “Children In Need” gets the sneak preview of the Christmas Special!
NOVEMBER 22nd UPDATE: Enjoyed this article.
DECEMBER 1st UPDATE: Okay, it was good to get these “mild spoilers.”

Newark’s Historian
I was a finalist for one of his fellowships once. He was a very prestigious guy who proudly lived in Newark.
I didn’t know he did a film on the city.
FBI Tracked Black Press Editor
Fascinating, but not surprising, particularly considering how progressive and independent Raymond Boone of The Richmond Free Press was!
