I’m not sure what I should be most worried about: (1) Arnold having a love child; (2) That the world is supposed to end on May 21st; or, (3) That the U.S. will hit its debt limit of $14.23 trillion  perhaps on Osama’s death day – but somehow we’ve managed to parlay an additional 11

I told my college students the other day that I was going to collect their Blackberries and I-Phones before I did my final lecture(s) – because I didn’t want anyone distracted from my words of wisdom.  But I also know that whenever someone lectures in unbroken fashion – people become distracted and manifest ADHD-like symptoms:
