  • Last week former Dallas reporter Scott Pelley was anchoring the CBS Evening News and this week former Fort Worth reporter is in the chair filling in.
  • It looks like the sequester will eventually eliminate a lot of civilian jobs in the military and other government agencies, which makes me wonder how that will affect the unemployment numbers.
  • US.DebtClock.org – It’s in real time and breaks it down in all sorts of areas.  I have no idea if it’s correct, but it’s neat to look at.
  • The George W. Bush Presidential Center’s signature restaurant will be named Cafe 43.  I recently read an article on W’s new hobby of painting, and on each painting his signature in the corner is a simple 43.
  • Our master bathroom has a small room with just the toilet.  I’d like to rig it where the toilet flushes everytime the light turns off.
  • I saw the term Texian recently and thought it was a mispelling or typo, but no.
  • After watching so much ‘Parks and Rec’ I thought it might be a good idea to buy a Roomba, but had no idea those things were so expensive.  I was thinking a new one would only run $150 at the most.
  • If 80% of this ‘Breaking Bad’ series ending is true, I’d be happy.
  • I heard Geraldo Rivera interviewed on The TICKET and thought it was interesting how he made reference that CNN plays it down the middle and how that model of reporting isn’t profitable.
  • Yesterday morning Craig Miller of The TICKET stated he could burp on demand and the other hosts were a bit amazed at that ability.  I thought everyone could do that, it’s quite easy.
  • Speaking of CNN, this piece was quite interesting to watch –  Keeping Them Honest: Bachmann vs The Truth
  • ‘Mad Men’ news – The actor that portrays Pete Campbell is now engaged to his costar.
  • An ode to Google Reader – YouTube
  • With the advancement of smartphones and apps, I wonder if graphing calculators are still needed in high school and college.
  • Jib.li enables travelers to find others who have luggage space available and are willing to carry their items and get paid.
  • Paintings made by injecting paint into bubble wrap
  • ‘The Americans’ sure is good at making the most unsuspecting people into spies.  I mean, they are really good at it.
  • The lead male in ‘The Americans’ has this one common disguise that makes him look like Steve Carell in the Forty Year Old Virgin.  Heck, in the disguise he even sounds like Carell and has some of the same mannerisms.
  • I’m a little tired of who cares for the marriage more yo-yo.
  • This is the first FX series I’ve watched, but I’m surprised at how graphic and risque they show can get.
  • I’m not sure why there’s not a new episode next week, Holy Week I guess?
  • You’re killing me, Smalls! – The Dallas Film Festival is Going to Screen The Sandlot at Klyde Warren Park – That would be a nice place for the fellas to take their Wendy Peffercorn to.  That actress, btw, is now 38-years-old, and that movie is now 20-years-old.
  • I wonder if any couple has gone to a Halloween party as Squints and Wendy Peffercorn?  If not, that’s not a bad idea.
  • Beauty and the Beast = Daughter and Father Dance
  • First Look At Tina Fey Filming ‘The Muppets…Again!’
  • Abby Road’s website has a live camera of the famous crossing.
