Colons, Tebow, and Other

Gosh, I hope so: "[Colonoscopy Lowers Rate of Cancer Deaths, Study Finds](http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/23/health/colonoscopy-prevents-cancer-deaths-study-finds.html?%5Fr=1&partner=rss&emc=rss&src=igw&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)." I'd hate to think I've been doing 'em for kicks. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* I'll admit it: I'm not a big Tebow fan. I didn't comment on all the uproar toward the end of the NFL season for the simple reason that I didn't care enough about it to comment. But a TDE reader sends along [this story that quotes liberally from the Catholic Brady Quinn](http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/daily-take/201202/gq-brady-quinn-debunks-year-tebow-weve-had-lot-luck?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). At one point, I fear Quinn was channeling my spirit: *"The former Notre Dame star also questions how Tebow prays: 'If you look at it as a whole, there's a lot of things that just don't seem very humble to me. When I get that opportunity, I'll continue to lead not necessarily by trying to get in front of the camera and praying but by praying with my teammates, you know?'"* Amen. I'm not comfortable with the grandstand praying . . . or witnessing. Whatever you call it, you're calling attention to yourself at some level. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* The Dow broke 13,000 this week. You diggin' it? You shouldn't. The Dow is falling against that one commodity we all like: Oil. But hey, we got the extra 2 cents per dollar in paycheck. Last year, the payroll tax cut covered about 85% of the median family's rising cost of gasoline, so they only took a small punch to the gut.

Some good late night:

"Oil prices jumped to well over $100 a barrel, and analysts say it's due to tension in the Middle East. So, luckily, it's just a temporary thing." Leno

"Dutch scientists say the world's first test-tube meat, a hamburger made from cow stem cells, will be available sometime this year. Test tube meat made from stem cells. I hope it tastes as good as it sounds." Leno.

"A new study found that 16 percent of Americans under the age of 24 don't have a job. There's even a name for that group: Art History majors." Fallon.
