The Monday Morning Memo

Cloris Leachman is Maw-Maw, a great-great-grandmother who shows signs of Alzheimer’s in the TV sitcom, Raising Hope.

In a recent episode,* the family is trying to think of new inventions when Maw-Maw bursts into the room:

1. “What if we combined the oven with a toaster into one thing?
     An Oven Toaster!”    

2. “What about putting hot food into pockets?
     Pocket Hots!”

3. “What about a TV channel just for news?”
     (Maw-Maw puts her hand to her head as she thinks for a moment,
     then says,) “Wait. They’ll have to fill up too many hours and resort
     to sensationalizing non-issues and stirring up partisan bickering.
     Scratch that idea. It sucks.”

* ”Bro-gurt” season 2, episode 8, FOX

Random Quote:

“Cognitive psychologists have found that there is a trade-off between attentional focus and creativity. And there is some evidence to suggest that individuals who are better able to focus on one thing and filter out distractions tend to be less creative.”

- Martha Farah, director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Penn, quoted by Margaret Talbot in The New Yorker, April 27, 2009, p. 40
