CATHOLIC PARISHIONERS: Investigate Bernie Sanders’ Wife For Loan Fraud. “When Jane O’Meara Sanders served as president of Burlington College between 2004 and 2011, she oversaw an aggressive effort to enroll more students and expand the campus to accommodate a bigger student body. Part of that plan: Taking out hefty loans to finance the $10 million purchase of 32 acres of prime property from the Roman Catholic diocese at the end of 2010. But Burlington College soon found itself unable to make its loan payments.”
So it’s basically Bernie’s plan for America, writ small.
FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMED: The Obama Crime Wave Comes to Minnesota.
BUT OF COURSE: Obama phones Putin but doesn’t bring up jets buzzing US ship.
Entirely unrelated: President Obama Summits With Hip-Hop Stars. “It is, reportedly, Obama’s ‘transitional project’ bridging the gap between his time in the Oval Office and his future in the real world; Obama wants to use the celebrity relationships he’s formed in his years as President to keep himself relevant in the near future.”
UPDATE: Rapper Rick Ross’s Ankle Monitor Goes Off During Minorty Youth Empowerment Program at White House. “Ross’s ankle monitor, which he must wear as a condition of his release on kidnapping and assault charges last summer, beeped loudly shortly after the president concluded a speech.”

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Why Not Adjunct Administrators Instead of Adjunct Instructors? It Makes Far More Sense. “Most of the growth of university costs comes from administrative bloat. Non-faculty staff has grown at more than twice the rate of instructors – you know, the people who are the ostensible reason a university exists. As tenured professors retire, administrators kill those tenure lines and replace them permanently with part timers. Administrators do this so they can gorge on a higher salary while demanding more.”
CHANGE: Where Have All The Ear Infections Gone? “A study published in 2014 in JAMA Pediatrics looked at the number of medical visits for otitis media made by children up to the age of 6 and found a downward trend from 2004 to 2011, with a significant drop in 2010-11. The first routine childhood pneumococcal vaccine was introduced in 2000; we changed to a vaccine effective against a wider set of bacterial serotypes in 2010.”
