Taco Republic - Live Más!

I'm back in the USSA
I've always been a big Taco Bell  fan - Any company that can sell an edible beef product for aprox. $1 deserves respect. And as someone who thinks "outside the bun" I feel a certain solidarity with Yum Brands marketing department. I know they're a huge multinational and God knows how they process and transport their food but the advertising is right on - like the whole concept of "4th meal" to promote eating tacos at midnight (never a good idea, but sometimes...). Well, I'm sitting in the local multiplex last night getting ready to watch Fast and Furious 7 with my son and the most effective laxative known to man presented a sort film before the main attraction. It might as well have been a KOTCB production - Absolutely magnificent in it's message and production value. Also, the concept of making a breakfast sandwich in the shape of a hexagon is truly inspiring on a symbolic level and practical for easy consumption. But what puts the film "over the top", in my opinion, is the clown army stuffing bland breakfast sandwiches into the gaping mouths of the proletariate and the Hunger Games escape to a colorful land of the Hexagon.

Bravo Taco Bell! The KOTCB salutes you and everything you represent.

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...

Blue Devils and Yellow Cowards

A few weeks ago Duke lost Coach K’s last game at Camron Indoor Stadium to the schools hated rival, North Carolina University, in an epic grudge match. It was an “ unacceptable ” finale for the maniacal ferret-faced competitor who created the 40 year dynastic Duke hoops program with 1,000+ wins and fists full of ACC and NCAA championships but for Tar Heels everywhere it was a day of retribution. Michael  William Krzyzewski, is a red-blooded All-American college basketball coach of Polish and Ukrainian descent who grew up in Chicago’s famous Ukrainian Village which is (or at least was) culturally very reminiscent of the Rus borderlands. That is to say that young S h-shef-ski   grew up as  far away (psychology) from Dixie as is possible while still living within the borders of the USA. That makes him the perfect choice to represent Duke University and the Yankee overachievers who emigrate to Durham for 4 years of education and networking before moving back to...
