"Adults use email." It seems like an odd thing to say, but I've been saying it to my teens. They use Facebook to communicate, with the result that they don't check their email, even when they're expecting emails from potential employers, coaches . . . or me. "Adults use email." It flows off the tongue naturally after awhile. * * * * * * * The J. Geils Band and Catholic higher education: Thomas Moore College in New Hampshire (Zmirak's hangout) is moving to Massachusetts. It will occupy agricultural land that used to belong to John Geils. * * * * * * * Funny Conan: "In Germany, a court has ruled that German police are allowed to racially profile citizens. But don't worry. It's Germany, so things shouldn't get out of hand." * * * * * * * Everyone's talking about the Obamacare hearings at the Supreme Court and how they're a train wreck for the administration. Sample. I'm not buying it. The Supreme Court, especially Kennedy, likes to surprise people. I'm predicting that the individual mandate gets upheld, 5-4. Just my gut instinct, born mostly of my pessimistic views of this country. I can't imagine something as Statist as Obamacare getting struck down. * * * * * * * Quirky Corner: "In 1938, a pair of young cartoonists naively sold the rights to Superman to DC Comics for a paltry $130. Now, their cashed check is on the auction block -- and could sell for millions." Link. * * * * * * * This happened in my county: Two druggies are manufacturing meth on a river island. They flea cops on a paddle boat. That's hilarious. I mean, I've done quite a few turns on a paddle boat. It ain't easy . . . and it ain't fast. The picture in my head of these guys pedaling away is pretty funny.
