Random thoughts from an unkempt mind

I am sitting in my hotel room in Florence Kentucky.  At my feet are the remnants of a 10 piece, all dark meat extravaganza (no sides dishes).  No, it's not KFC but you were close.  In my book, nothing beats Popeye Chicken.

Chris Matthews on Harball is fun to watch.  Sure he's a Democrat pretending to be neutral.  What I like is the way the gets after the guys he's interviewing.  Hardball is the perfect name for the show.

I think Family Guy should have its own network.  That way I can watch it any time I want, even when I am on the road and there is no TIVO.

Is it just me or are LEVIS the poorest quality jeans out there.  I used to wear them all the time but the sizes, seemed random.  I took a few years off before going back.  Now they just fall apart.  It's a shame because all I wear are jeans.  Which brings me to today's list. 



Iconic things that are going away (good or bad):

1. Levis
2. Sears
3. The US Postal Service
4. Network television
5. Televisions that can only be used as televisions
6. The GOP
7. Bookstores
8. Traditional Churches
9. The middle ground
             and if we are lucky
10. 100% of the incumbents (state and federal) over the next 6 years.

I think reality television is the worse thing to happen to television - ever.

If a UFO landed and offered to take me for a ride, I would go...but only if they promised to bring me back later.

Sometimes I think Bill O'Reilly goes an entire show without telling the truth once.

I have an old shoe that is smarter than Glenn Beck.

My hotel only gets 25 channels.  Six of them are versions of ESPN or FOX sports.  That's okay though.  My shower has three shower heads and they offer free breakfast.

The writers for House and Breaking Bad are the best in the business.  By comparison, the writers for Greys Anatomy get to work on the small bus.

Things I would look for if I were interviewing people for a job (another list):

1. Good at math
2. Participated in high school wrestling
3. Eagle scout
4. Military experience
5. A creative problem solver

It's been a long day of travel. Time to sleep off some chicken.
