Observations XVI: Apparently their beige hearts no longer bleed with neutrality

  • It would figure that two days after my brother officially quit blogging, Switzerland would invade Liechtenstein. He warned us about the threat of Swiss tyranny hiding under the guise of neutrality.
  • Congratulations to Dan Steinberg of DC Sports Bog on the arrival of his daughter. It figures it would happen now, just as I have posted a potentially Bog-worthy entry about Norv Turner.
  • An article in The Times looks at the “family bed” and how some parents are not really happy about having one. Duh. In addition to ensuring nobody sleeps well, the family bed just screams major codependency issues.
  • Recent overplayed songs: Lowdown, The Sweater Song
  • High school sophomores were not even born when Nevermind came out. Time flies.
  • George Michael is done as WRC-TV sports anchor. He has been there forever, but let’s not forget that he only ascended to #1 after the great Glenn Brenner died.
  • Ted Leonsis is dumping on newspapers lately. I’m not sure an AOL employee should be getting too excited about this issue. Lots of media, traditional and even first-wave new media are having some serious challenges right now.
  • By the way, Post editor Len Downie recently did a Q&A with Editor & Publisher that might interest a few WWN readers.
  • A Philly Daily News blogger thinks that Punxsutawney Phil ignored readily available intelligence in his winter prediction this year.
  • It is 62° out. I’m going for a walk.
