| Bonus Points If You're Blonde. This tweet mocking a classified ad in Harvard Magazine seemed too good to be true. It wasn't: Couple seeks egg donor, offering $100,000. I'm a Harvard alum, and my wife and I deeply value education. Egg donors with strong educational backgrounds are extremely hard to find, so we are offering $100,000 to a donor age 20 to 27 with a Harvard degree. Bonus points if you're blonde! We would cover expenses including travel. No agencies please. For more info: eggdonorinfo1@gmail.com. Eminent Domain is spooooky. In my native Ohio, a couple is fighting back against a suspect eminent domain case with the help of the Institute for Justice: Over the past four years, Angie and Brent Stooksbury transformed a foreclosed, 19thCentury home into one of the top haunted houses in the state, the Haunted Hoorah. Each year, over 6,000 visitors descend on the Haunted Hoorah in the tiny village of Ashley (about an hour north of Columbus), eager to witness scary soldiers, infected zombies, and demented doctors. Guests can even pay for an “extreme dread experience” where they can be grabbed and pulled into “invasive, interactive touch scenes.” Unfortunately, this Halloween will likely be the last hurrah for the Haunted Hoorah. In January, the Buckeye Valley School District Board of Education filed an eminent-domain compliant to take the property and the acre of land it sits on. The board wants to expand and build a new bus loop for the Buckeye Valley East Elementary School, which, improbably, is the Haunted Hoorah’s next-door neighbor. The Board offered Angie and Brent $95,000 for their property, an amount the two criticized as a “bargain price.” According to the Columbus Dispatch, the couple bought the property for $11,000 and then had to invest roughly $200,000 to bring the house up to commercial code. After accounting for those upgrades, the couple’s expert appraiser instead valued the property at $330,000. Their case is slated for trial in March. Be careful what you wish for, Michael Flynn! Remember Michael Flynn? Maybe from his brief White House tenure? Or his rousing speech in Cleveland? It's a classic Shot / Chaser.
