High Yellow Negress leads Formation against Rubberband Man

When passions and planning unite, a people and its institutions will fall into formation. Thats how artists make highly stylized music videos and stage performances with costumed dancers twerking in sync with the star. But to what end is the formation formed? In the case of one Beyonce Z it is to "reclaim" the word negro. Well, take it - it's all yours.

Thanks for all the money and adulation, suckers!
It's a far cry from the wonderful formations created by Motown legends The Spinners and the magical leads of Philippé Wynne who carved an indelible soul groove in my temporal lobe as a young pup tuning into AM radio in the dark hours post-bed time lights out.

"Hey ya'll prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam"
Beyonce has been widely criticized for her video and Super Bowl (halftime) performance of Formation, while Kendrick Lamar has been praised for a more strident and defiant (one might even say antagonistic) performance of his "songs" at this years Grammy Awards* - why? Is it because she's a woman? Choice of venue? Wardrobe?


No, it's because Lamar is authentically, straight outta Compton, Black or African-American or whatever and Mr. and Mrs. Carter own something like 20 homes in Anywhere-but-Compton America. Kendrick Lamar ain't gonna be chatting it up with the future King and Queen of England and for that I'm thankful and support his endeavors, self defeating though they might be.

Kings and Queens

*Not since Three 6 Mafia performed "It's Hard out Here for a Pimp" at the 2006 Oscars has a more desperate cry for help been cheered by pampered helpers who aren't helping.

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

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce?

I came into this wicked world in the early 1960's and as a result I have born witness to America's 50 Years of Failure which includes the modern age of mass shootings by psychotic men who "go off" on a given day, for no reason at all (except "guns"), and kill scads of innocent bystanders. Back in August of 2019 a KOTCB blog post titled " Reciprocity City " explored a young  gunman  named Patrick Crusius  who drove 9 hours through the west Texas flatlands to shoot up El Paso, TX The KOTCB has commented on many of these shootings, bombings and knifings over the years -  The roots of the Boston Marathon Bombing ,  the Emanuel AME Church shooting ,  Syed Rizvan Farook and his bride Tashfeen Malik ,  Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooting ,  Nick Cruz lovesick Parkland shooting ,  the Iranian, PETA activist, Vegan Bodybuilder, YouTuber's attack on Google  and now this very oddly timed and placed "lone wolf" attack on Walmart shoppers. This list

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a  month before the September 24th hearing where   overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q
