Bag of Randomness

  • I’ve noticed that Bob Schieffer hasn’t been part of any prime time debate coverage, but then realized since he’s moderating the last debate, perhaps he’s removed himself as a conflict of interest.

  • The author of this article about Jeb Bush, and Jeb Bush himself, thinks that Texas could be a “blue state” in the next four years.  I know demographics are changing, but I don’t think minorities are that passionate about voting in Texas and don’t see political powers changing, and if it does, it won’t happen at least for another 10-15 years.

  • Jimmy Kimmel is taking a road trip and will be doing his show in New York, and he actually has David Letterman as a guest.  Considering Kimmel is getting a new time slot and will be directly competing against Letterman, and how Letterman doesn’t really do many interviews (though he has changed a bit on this with age), this is quite interesting.
