Everyone has made predictions about this year--the Mayans, Nostradamus, Harold Camping (the Rapture dude). Assuming humans will survive past December 21, 2012, I'm going to make one prediction this evening. I was inspired by the writing on the back of a theater program book tonight, which asked people to silence their cell phones and pagers. Who has a pager? What time-locked soul has one? If so, I will pay you to upgrade to a modern cell phone. I will pay for a texting plan for you, too (limited for the first 60 people who respond to me directly).
Date the mention of silencing a pager in a theater program will go extinct: May 12, 2016, which also happens to be Ving Rhames birthday. He'll be 57.

| Unbeknownst to the general public, reconciliation happened right after happy hour |
-Profession: Political Science Professor
-Favorite U.S. Vice President: Edwin Stanton because he said of serving the role that "it ain't worth a bucket of warm spit"
-You met your wife working at the Close-up Foundation. Did the use of the corresponding toothpaste play any role in allowing closer physical contact, leading to that first kiss?: No, but toothpaste in general did. We're very happy with each other's hygiene. But a little worried about the kids' [hygiene].
-Was it the combination of your refined palate and the bad sacramental wine which led you to leave the Catholic seminary?: Not at all. It was a great regret of mine to leave behind many happy hours after mass. That's also where I learned how to drink a Manhattan.
-How many times per week do you groom your mustache?: I trim it about three times per week.
