I have been meaning to begin doing random posts about whatever is on my mind for some time. I am calling this feature, Observations, unless\/until I come up with a better name. Think of it as the logical successor to Larry King’s USA Today<\/i> column, only more um, logical.<\/p>\n

  • John O’Hurley (aka Mr. Peterman) was named as the new host of Family Feud. I don’t really care, I don’t watch a lot of TV and certainly not game shows, but I know enough about that show to know the logical choice was Mojo Nixon<\/b>. Just imagine him yelling, “let’s play the Feud!” and it all makes sense.\n
  • No show better captured the zeitgeist of the Reagan era better than Duck Tales. The world’s greatest plutocrat swims around in a vault of money — that’s rich.\n
  • I still cannot believe that nobody says rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Microsoft.\n
  • I wonder how long until I am the only American under age 40 without an iPod. Six months? Two months?\n
  • In a related note, I wonder if 40<\/strike> 15 years from now I will be one of the few of my peers without a hearing aid.\n
  • I have had so many questions answered on Post<\/i> and USA Today<\/i> chats that it is no longer a big deal or even blog worthy. The exception is Tom Sietsema<\/b>, The Post’s food critic. I am about 0 for 12 on his chats. I think I still need to get Gene Weingarten<\/b> to answer one too, but I have not tried much with him.\n
  • The weather sure is promising for the foreseeable future, I wonder if the Ombudsman<\/b> has snuck into the area again.\n
