(Take the new Let's Blog! Poll, on the right.)
Random stuff, until I get a handle on being back from a week off. (Older readers will think this looks a lot like one of Larry King's old newspaper columns, just before his syndicator dropped running it.)
1) What personal questions would you want to ask any of us from Newscentral 5-7 a.m.? I always like to pry into my colleagues' private lives and post their answers. Leave your questions in the Comments section, below. We'll print answers, soonest.
2) My gearhead nephew has been telling me that matte black is the next hot color for performance cars. I saw a Bentley GT painted like that on my vacation, and I can't decide if it's really cool and stealthy, or if it just looks like the car has been primered, and is ready for its actual coat of paint.
3) Increasing impatience with President Obama: real concern or opposition-manufactured hysteria? The President's popularity numbers are down, SNL is making fun of him for not doing anything, and it appears he's having trouble getting traction. But then, he plans for the long term. Is he a one-term president? If so, to whom would he lose?
4) Is there a worse place in the Southwest than New Mexico?
5) Quick! Phil Jackson has just asked for your input to help the Lakers repeat their championship season: What advice do you offer?
