(Single) Mother of the Year

I only hope that when the KOTCB blog is discovered by the NSA and I'm dragged before the high council (or whatever the Star Chamber is called) that I have a black mother to call as witness for my defense.


  • They are treated with unconditional love and sympathy by judgmental people across the political spectrum. A black mother can do or say almost anything and TV people will not just nod in agreement - they'll jump out of their seat shouting their admiration and fervent agreement with whatever the woman espouses.
  • They are forgiving people who can look past years of criminal activity and find the good in every soul, especially if it's their own son. As Toya Graham says about young Michael in the video above:
    "Is he the perfect boy? No he's NOT! But he's mine."
  • They are absolutely immune to cross examination or skepticism or even the most modest standard of personal responsibility for the behavior of their loved ones. Single Mother of the Year - Toya, for example has six (6!!!) children and, though single motherhood is becoming the norm, she will NEVER be questioned about her irresponsibility and/or inability to keep a man in the house. 
I have no history of Toya Graham's parenting style and will NEVER get one from any news outlet because it would be just impolite (and maybe racist) to inquire, but based on empirical evidence and a gut feeling I'm betting this isn't the first time Michael has been beat upside the head and cursed at by his "loving mother" and after 16 years of this shit he probably wants to burn down Baltimore. Not to be all misogynistic about it or anything, but 16 year old boys don't listen to their mothers advise about anything. The lessons Michael needed to learn could ONLY be taught by a father and that instruction needed to happen long before he came of age.

Where, oh where, is the Father of the Year?

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Total Eclipse

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
