Things to Think about . . .

. . . if the football isn't riveting this weekend.

  • NC is trying to get at problem high schools and dropout problems by formally linking high school and college. But what about prom? . . .
  • Tired of being accused of lacking "common sense" by people who frequently walk into walls? Here's how to respond.
  • So much for all the crap about Ford's "binding the nation's wounds" and being so "courageous" to pardon Nixon. Turns out they were BFF and he did it because of that . . . by his own admission. Also tends to put the lie to the "he was the good Republican" nonsense, too, doesn't it? Liars just seem to breed liars, don't they?
  • EXTRA-POINT ESSAY QUESTION: “Children of Men,” the new movie set in the near future when human race has been basically sterilized by virus, has a hero who must protect a female who has nevertheless become pregnant. In a world with only one person able to conceive, does she still have a right to an abortion? What are the implications of your answer?
  • A dollar for anyone who can come up with the right music for this headline--"Head-Banging Snakes May Predict Quakes."
  • Finally, what are we supposed to do without Billmon?
