Thought for July 31 through date CNN stops talking about MJ

Of all the pictures of MJ that could be on the Campbell Brown/AC 360 background wall, why do they choose one in which Michael Jackson looks like Diana Ross? They don’t use that picture when they want an up-close picture — usually they use the ones in which he has the progressively scarier noses.

Another thought of the day, July 29, 2009

I guess it is cool that scientists are mapping the human genome for clues to diseases and male pattern baldness.  But somewhere in the human genome there is some combination of molecules (or whatever) that causes children never to want to go to sleep at bedtime and whine, “are we there yet?” within 5 minutes of starting a journey.  Because children are born knowing how to do these things, I want the scientists to find these traits on the map of the human genome.
