• Believe it or not, the Tracy Press' move to a 3-day-a-week publication schedule and online focus puts it on the cutting edge of what newspapers are doing. This is the wave of the future.
• Teaching kids about religion without indoctrinating them? This new TUSD program might have just stumbled on something really smart.
• On Thursday's "Daily Show," Lt. Col. John Nagl said that the Iraq conflict is a "thinking man's war." Too bad there wasn't more thinking before the war started.
• Sunday is the fifth anniversary of the day Vice President Cheney began the march to war with a speech delivered to the VFW. Read his speech with the benefit of five years of hindsight here. The Iraq stuff begins about halfway down the page. It's gold. Pure ironic gold.
• For those who merely say "illegal is illegal" when it comes to issues like illegal immigration: Something is not automatically immoral just because it is illegal. Just food for thought.
• Calvin and Hobbes quote of the week: "You know, before there was television, kids actually did things on nice days like this." "Times sure change, huh?"

Hi Jon! I would like to make a point back to your 'illegal is illegal' comment.
Things may be illegal, but not immoral, sure. I can agree on that. However that doesn't change the fact that they still are illegal. There are still legal means to come to this country.
So, illegal is illegal. ;-)
