Bag of Randomness

  • It seems weird to me that a sitting president is going to appear on a late night talk show.  But at the same time, I guess it’s good for a president to appear being very open to the American public.  I’m not sure this would happen if Leno wasn’t leaving the Tonight show.  I would prefer to see the president on Letterman.  Over the years when Letterman has interviewed a non-entertainer, I found his questions to be very simple and straight to the point – stuff that I would like to ask.
  • Dale Hanson (local TV sports dude) sure sounded like a dummy the other day.  He went on a rant about how the NCAA men’s basketball bracket makers need a map, because the last time he checked UCLA is from the west, but they are playing in the East bracket.  I guess he didn’t understand that the bracket is named for the geographic region the games are being played, not where the teams are from.
  • I find myself getting more and more opinionated about our local anchors.
  • I have never watched an episode of Sanford and Son, and I think I’m missing something.
  • And I have never eaten corned beef.
  • This YouTube video could possible me offensive: Mormon Jesus and MC Hammer
  • I still can’t believe Lawrence Taylor is on Dancing With the Stars.
  • Speaking of that show, I wonder what some of my ultra-conservative friends think of that show.  Do they view its good family entertainment, or something not appropriate because of how the women dress?
  • I’m not happy with the whole AIG bonus thing, but I did buy their stock recently and my rate of return on it is over 40%.  With the government owning about 80% of the company, you know they aren’t going to let them fail.  That’s also the reason why I recently bought some Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
  • I also bought Citi not too long ago and my that rate of return is over 90%.
  • But trust me, I’ve lost plenty of dinero as well.
  • When I use to work for Fidelity I was prohibited from talking about the market, so I feel a bit liberated right now.
  • It always amazed me how the managers I worked for would get a bonus that was close to my entire salary.  And it amazes me that some folks at AIG received more than a million dollar bonus.
  • A childhood friend, well, my first friend, actually, is about to become a father and this may be the first baby shower I ever attend.  He’s not married, but he’s doing an old school sort of thing by marrying the girl.
  • Microsoft has a vision for the future.  Video
  • A collection of humming bird videos.

    Geeding,
    Sanford and Son ROCKS! It is old school in the best way…you should watch it!

  2. Dale Hansen (note the "e") is one of the biggest sports idiots in the world. He is a pretty intelligent guy sometimes, but when he misses, he misses in ways that no self respecting "sportscaster" should.

    I think Hansen was just saying, "why not let all teams play as close to home as possible. Why send UCLA to the East?" But maybe not.

    You should get a corned beef or marble rye sandwhich and eat it while watching Sanford and Son.
