No. It's blinking 'cause it's old and left its turn signal on.

First past the post -- a type of voting systems prevalent in the US. Vote for 1 candidate and the one with the most votes wins. Ranked choice voting is a different system that some would like to change to.

Unfortunately, later seasons (when they contract the cast) really jump the shark. Earlier ones, though? Excellent TV.

#5 is a nice sentiment. But parents: please be cognizant of teachers' time at the end of the school year. I had 20 of these to sign last year, some of which only arrived with a few days left in school. If you want a heartfelt message, give us a month's notice.

Not sure if she's in a different category, but the list is missing Jean Carnahan D-Missouri, appointed Senator after her deceased husband won an election over Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin.

I knew there was a reason I got out of x-ray crystallography twenty years ago to get into teaching. So many hours spent purifying proteins…

#14 That is Brett Hull with Wayne Gretzky during Gretzky's way-too-short stint with the St. Louis Blues in 1996. #LGB #WeWentBlues

If you’re worried about that caustic base, you can neutralize it with some hydroxic acid.

Fulgencio Batista was a Cuban leader. Marco Rubio is Cuban-American. The message is equating Rubio's politics with Batista's as a right-wing dictator.

Oh, really, Vernon? Why pretend? We both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion

You’d have an A from me. I don’t grade homework. The kids that want to do it, will; the ones that don’t would cheat if it was for a grade. I give keys for kids to check or just review. Homework is for practice and it’s okay if you don’t get it right at first. Why penalize someone who is learning and eventually gets it?

It’s an indoor percussion competition run by an organization called “Winter Guard International” or WGI. Think of it as marching band without the wind instruments. They can get pretty elaborate, as demonstrated here.

As a lefty, I pay attention so that my fellow lefties aren’t assigned seats at tables where they bump elbows with their classmates.

Kansas City, Missouri was incorporated as a city (1853) before the State of Kansas was admitted to the union (1861). Going back further, it was ALSO incorporated before the establishment of the Kansas Territory (1854). There are many backwards things about my state, but Kansas City being in Missouri is not one of them.

Math teachers that don’t teach the meaning behind the calculations just make it harder for later teachers. This disconnect can start very early if an elementary teacher doesn’t know math.

I just hope my university brethren don’t say the same about me.

The problem with term limits is the governing body lacks of institutional memory. There's something to be said for some members of the group to remember why certain things were done a specific way. The term-limited legislators become lobbyists sooner in their career and the newly-elected rely on them more for guidance than they should. I don't know about other states, but Missouri is prime example of this.

Nah. Just write over the permanent marker with dry erase marker and then erase.

That is not a clarinet. More likely a soprano saxophone. (But still not a flute.)

Fortunately, our legislature has adjourned for the year unless the governor calls a special session. Won’t likely happen until the next regular session in January.
