Here's what is catching our eye Tuesday. ...

The FBI is looking for Jimmy Hoffa. Again. This time the feds are searching for the notorious mob boss' remains in a field in Michigan. By the way, these searches aren't free. In 2006 the Bureau searched a farm outside of Detroit. It cost $225,000. Hoffa hasn't been seen since 1975 and was declared legally dead in 1982. There have been six fruitless searches in the past decade alone and at least 15 searches since '75. Here's a map of where those searches have taken place. He's probably truly swimming with the fishes.

Finally, common sense has scored a victory. The Suffolk, Va., school board has altered its zero-tolerance policies after two students were suspended for pretending their pencils were guns. The board realized the suspensions were ridiculous and will not consider ordinary objects such as pencils and Pop Tarts to be weapons. The vote was unanimous. One of the suspended children playing with a pencil was imitating his dad. His dad is a Marine.

There are 2 million people in jail in the United States and another 5 million under some type of correctional supervision. That's a ton. It's so bad that 1 in 28 children has an incarcerated parent.

Enter the Muppets. They have introduced a character who has a parent in jail, fit with an educational kit filled with tips "to help families manage the changes resulting from this situation and to find comfort in one another."

Technology is a big deal in modern cars -- it's often a selling point. Ford has decided to put regular buttons and knobs back in their cars. The new models have moved away from them in favor of touch screens. Touch screens, like Ford's SYNC, might be too distracting. Oh, but don't worry, they will still be there. They'll just work in conjunction with the old-school buttons.

Today on Rob & Karie...

• 1:05 p.m.: The disparity In American education...and we're blaming parents.

• 2:17 p.m.: The City Of Glendale has given up, but on what?

The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Arizona's proof of citizenship requirement in order to vote is unconstitutional because it conflicts with the federal voter requirements.

The federal law, passed by Congress in 1993, asks a simple citizenship question. The Arizona law, made possible by a 2004 ballot initiative, required documented proof of American citizenship (though, according to the Supreme Court decision, the Arizona voter registration form won't change and will still have the proof of citizenship requirement. It just can't stop people from filling out the easier federal form instead).

The National Voter Registration Act made it simple to vote. Arizona's law made it more difficult.

Maybe it is too easy to vote. The irony of Monday's decision lies in how easy it is to vote in Arizona. I haven't had to go the polls in years because my ballot arrives in the mail prior to every election. I fill it out, drop it back in the mail without ever having to find my neighborhood polling location. I love the system. But, as easy as it is, it doesn't improve voter turnout.

In 2011, the City of Phoenix elected Mayor Greg Stanton. He received under 95,000 votes in a city with 1.5 million residents. Only 169,000 total people in Phoenix voted in that off-year election (off-year because it wasn't tied to national elections). Of that total, only 21,000 voted in person.

What I'm wondering is why the debates around voting often center around fraud when only a small portion of people bother to exercise what some regard as their most important right. Sure, non-citizens shouldn't vote, but many Americans don't even bother to vote even though it has never been easier.

During presidential elections, about 60 percent of registered Americans vote. In 2012, 57.5 percent of voters did. In 2008, over 62 percent voted. American voter turnout hasn't been higher than 65 percent since 1908, when it was 65.4 percent.

In national non-presidential Congressional elections, the percentages are even worse. They hover, on average, around 40 percent.

Election cycles are constant. Perhaps that is one reason for the low voter turnout. Maybe another reason is because the average voter doesn't think their vote makes a difference.

Polls suggest Congressional approval is at an all-time low. One from earlier this month puts it at 6 percent. Herein lies the fundamental issue with voting: There's a clear way to change who represents voters in Washington. But instead of voting for change many people just seem content to complain. Which, of course, Congressman like because, while people are complaining, they keep on winning re-election.

The Supreme Court's decision causes debate about who votes, even though not many Americans can be bothered. Voting debates instead should focus on why Americans don't vote in larger numbers and how to engage more people into caring about what goes on in this country.

I don't believe for a second the NSA is tapping my phone.

They have no reason to and, even if they did, whoever is listening in would be bored to tears. I just don't have many interesting conversations on the phone. But just because I have nothing to hide doesn't mean the NSA should have the ability to listen in.

Right now, they do and they don't even need a court order. It's literally up to the anaylists. One analyst could decide that I'm worth looking into and type my phone number into their system. They could find out who I'm calling and for how long. They could read my text messages and e-mails, without ever telling me.

Without giving any specifics, the National Security Agency is telling Americans they have disrupted dozens of terror plots in 20 nations by analyzing phone data and emails. They say that is the purpose of their spying program, to prevent terror attacks.

What if that changes?

What if someone, as Peirs Morgan on CNN suggested, gets a hold of Chris Christie's email or Internet search history after he decides to run for president and releases it to the public? The NSA already posseses the tools to do so. All it would take is for one rogue employee to leak Christie's emails online.

Power is often corrupting. It's like a drug. It's intoxicating. And it's hardly ever given back. This is why I'll always call for more freedom and transparency. Those are tools to fight against power and corruption. If everything is done in plain sight, power becomes much harder to abuse. When things are done in secrecy, anything goes.

Right now, that's how the NSA is operating: In the dark where nothing is off-limits. My phone. Your emails. President Obama's text messages.

There is not enough calls for restraint. Just because the NSA has the technology to tap into America's phones doesn't mean they should. I have nothing to hide, but I still won't willingly concede this power to the government, even for safety.

Most of us don't have anything to hide but we should all be worried when the government does.

In the get-a-life file today, I must place the One Million Moms group. I am not sure what these women are after, except possibly the complete extinction of fun.

The One Million Moms, which has famously gone after JC Penney in the past for using Ellen DeGeneres (gasp, a lesbian) in its ads, is now targeting Kraft Foods for its hilarious zesty salad dressing ads, which feature a very good-looking shirtless guy, holding a bottle of the dressing.

Some of the other ads feature the guy cooking on a barbecue grill or lounging on a picnic blanket with a towel over his parts.

Silly? Maybe. Sexy? Sure. If you can make salad dressing sexy, he succeeds.

But here's the thing.

Women have been objectified in movies and television -- heck, everywhere -- FOREVER. Why is this ad anything but hilarious?

I am not sure if the One Million Moms have ever experienced a sexy moment.

Or a funny moment.

Or any fun whatsoever.

That's too bad.

The guy who plays the part of "Zesty Guy" (and how fun is that name??) is named Anderson Davis. He has said the campaign is entirely tongue-in-cheek and because salad dressing is inherently NOT sexy, they have fun with it by injecting some humor.

Signs show the campaign is working too, by the way -- it's all over Twitter and other social media. Davis has said he doesn't mind being a piece of meat and that he leaned heavily on his women friends to craft his role, and women seem to love it.

Obviously his friends have a sense of humor unlike the One Million Moms.

I think it's hilarious.

And handsome.

Growing up in Massachusetts the only redeeming qualities of snow storms were canceled school days and sledding.

So there I was with my dad one snowy, Saturday afternoon standing atop "Killer Hill" in Mansfield, Mass. The two of us wanted to hit the man-made snow jump as fast as we could. We wanted "X Games" air.

We took off down the hill. I jumped in the sled first. Dad gave it an extra push and jumped in behind me like were members of the U.S. National Bobsled Team. The two of us tucked to gain extra speed. Yes. We were serious about this jump.

Once we hit the jump everything fell apart. The sled got away from us. Dad and I went flying through the air. I landed hard on the snow-covered ground. On my butt. Dad landed on his wrist and was writing in pain. He broke it. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the doctor's office because my 40-year-old father wanted to hit the jump as much as I did.

My dad was the fun parent. He broke his wrist going over the jump. He took me to my first Celtics game in 1986 so I could see my favorite basketball player, Larry Bird. On a school night too. It's a great memory.

I have so many memories like that. Father's Day is the perfect time to remember them and it's also the perfect time to remember some of the lessons he taught me.

Bob Hunter worked for the same company for 47 years. He worked hard during his entire career and earned a good living for himself, retiring at 63. His example taught me that hard work pays off. Dad never bragged. He never boasted. He remained humble.

He's that way to this day. That was part of his modest upbringing in Brockton, Mass. I'm proud of him for that. He served in the Navy during Vietnam. Dad doesn't brag about that either.

That's another important lesson he taught me: humility. It never mattered what kind of car he drove or what his level of success was, he never felt that was the true measure of a man.

The true measure of a man, especially a father, is what he lessons he leaves behind for his kids.

Mr. H may not always know it, but he taught me a lot. He wasn't the type to have sit down talks. Instead, dad led by example.

And it's those examples I try to follow to this day.

Happy Father's Day, Dad.

It's Father's Day this Sunday.

What the best advice your dad ever gave you? I mean, real wisdom. The kind of stuff you thought was silly when he said it (over and over) but makes total sense now.

My dad used to say two things a lot.

"My dear, [speaking to me or one my sisters, whom he always referred to as dear or love,] people are stupid."

I used to think he was just being flippant. You know, like he didn't have an answer so he said that people are stupid.

But I realize he was so often just saying what we say when we just can't understand the way some people behave: Why the Jodi Arias trial had people who didn't personally know either the victim or the defendant living at the courthouse for weeks on end just to see the trial, why people making $50,000 a year would by a $500,000 house and a new car and wonder why they couldn't pay their bills and why a politician would risk his career and marriage by texting self-porn to his constituents.

You just can't figure that out, can you? Dad was right.

His other favorite saying was "It all boils down to economics."

Again, I thought he was just trying to get out of giving us money, but the older I got, the more I realized what a great truth his economics line was.

You can talk all you want about how "We SHOULD have a law that" does this or that but no matter how good an idea is, if someone who doesn't like it has enough money, your idea will probably lose. And the candidate with the most money usually wins.

Depressing? Yes, but it's true.

And speaking of fathers, Phil Mickelson is getting an awful lot of credit for flying back to his daughter's eighth grade graduation the day before the U.S. Open. A nice move, to be sure, but considering the way Phil travels, it wasn't that big of a deal!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, especially those who are really sacrificing!

A new study out said that 70 percent of Americans have credit cards. Back in the 1970s, only 20 percent of Americans HAD credit cards.

Remember the days when pulling out a credit card was a big deal? My dad used to pay in cash whenever possible. He did business that way for a lot of reasons. One, he didn't ever buy anything he couldn't afford. Two, he didn't like leaving a paper trail behind when he made a purchase, no matter what it was.

It wasn't that he was hiding anything, he just didn't think it was anyone else's business what he spent money on.

I wish my dad was still here so we could talk about the state of money in this country. I think the way he did it was right for a lot of reasons.

First, the idea of not buying something you can't afford is pretty basic, really, yet we don't seem to get that in America anymore.

We see our neighbor driving a new car and all of a sudden WE want one. Not only that, we think we deserve one. Never mind the fact that we don't know what he paid for it or how much money he has in the bank.

Nope, all we know is that car is shiny and new and we want it too.

Add to that the fact we are willing to pay MORE to borrow money to by that which we can't afford. And don't think you don't leave a paper trail when you buy on credit. Most Americans value their privacy and say they will do ANYthing to safeguard it.

But they use Visa or MasterCard to finance their purchases, including groceries, entertainment and medical. It's a real contradiciton, if you think about it. But most of us don't. Think about it, that is.

Does everyone NEED a credit card? No.

Does it make life easier? It can.

But the housing crisis of 2008 was brought about in large part because somehow we decided that ALL Americans should have the opportunity to own a home. Remember that? We found out the hard way that wasn't the case.

Monica Contreras is looking for justice after she was sexually assaulted by a court marshal and then arrested for it.

Contreras and her 2-year-old daughter went to family court in Clark County Nevada for a simple divorce case where Contreras was then inexplicably ordered into a waiting room for a drug search.

During the search Court Marshal Ron Fox allegedly touched Contreras' breast and buttocks and told her to lift her shirt. When Contreras requested to have a female court marshal search her she was denied and arrested for "false allegations made against a police officer."

Contreras was then told the only way to avoid jail was to take back her claims but she refused and was then arrested in front of her young child. Contreras begged Hearing Master Patricia Doninger to listen to her claims but was ignored.

Two months prior to the arrest Contreras filed a complaint with internal affairs against Fox. Six months after the complaint Fox was fired and investigations against him and many others in the Clark County Court office continue.

Fox is now suing Clark County Courts for "wrongful termination."

When asked by CBS 8 how she feels about Fox being fired, Contreras said, "It makes me feel good because now I know that I was right."

According to Clark County Courts, court personnel are prohibited from commenting on the video.

Recently a freshman English-class at York Prep, a high school located on the Upper West Side was asked to write a first-person suicide note in response to reading The Secret Life of Bees by author Sue Monk Kid.

Students were asked to put themselves in the shoes of the character May Boatwright who (spoiler alert) commits suicide in the novel. According to the New York Post, the English teacher, Jessica Barrish, asked students "How would you justify ending your life? What reasons would you give?"

Parents of the students claimed to be stunned by the assignment but when the school was asked if they had received any complaints Headmaster Ronald Stewart replied, "No, not a single one."

Shockingly enough many have jumped at the chance to defend the inexperienced teacher. Simon Critchley, a professor of philosophy at The New School university in Greenwich Village, said:

"I think it might even help students acquire a more mature and reflective approach to a hugely important topic."

What is even more surprising is that this is not the first time in which teachers have assigned a suicide note project to impressionable young minds; other instances have been reported in Britain and France.
