Bag of Randomness

  • While eating at Fernando’s yesterday for lunch, Cynthia Izaguirre of WFAA, one of my local news nemesi, was sitting across from me.
  • Other local news nemesi includes Shelly Slater and Jane McGarry.
  • I don’t like it when presidents dress up in military uniforms.  I don’t like when presidents appear on night time talk shows, and I don’t like it when presidents appear on day time talk shows.  Within my lifetime, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a president on The Price is Right.
  • I can understand trying to connect with “the people” but I just don’t think this is the way to do it.
  • ABC’s 20/20 devoted an hour to behind the scenes look at The Bachelor.  Anyone else remember when 20/20 use to be a news program?
  • Sharyn Alfonsi of ABC News has to be the busiest reporter alive.
  • Mike Doocy of KDFW Fox 4 Sports cracks me up at the 18 second mark.
  • I find it amazing when I call a salesperson, wanting to give them business, but they don’t return my call after three days.  Yes, I’m talking to you D&M Leasing.
  • WifeGeeding and I are one episode away from finishing the first season of Mad Men.  My goodness is that a good show.  I’ll have to buy season two soon, but thankfully season three is available for free on DirecTV on demand.
