Ugrade Test

Huntsman did not name names in aiming criticism at his rivals, but he did take a shot at President Obama for engaging in what Huntsman called “class warfare” and said it contributed to divisiveness in American politics. But Huntsman, who often talked on the campaign trail about rebuilding trust in the political process, made clear that he thinks the GOP race has taken an ugly turn. Huntsman’s move comes less than a week after he placed a weak third in the New Hampshire primary. He had staked his entire candidacy on a strong finish there. Despite the outcome, he had vowed to take his campaign to South Carolina, calling his finish a “ticket to ride” in the upcoming contest, despite the long odds. By Sunday, however, he had concluded that the better course was to bow out of the race, the officials said. “There was no sense standing in the way of Romney,” one Huntsman adviser said. “Every vote we took in South Carolina and Florida was from him.” Romney is battling to win the Palmetto State primary, which will be held Saturday, and a victory could effectively end the nomination fight after only three contests. Romney won the Iowa caucuses by just eight votes but cruised to an impressive victory in New Hampshire.

Shots to the Dome

Guns are stuffed in our kid's backpacks and tucked away in their in desks. And yet, we're afraid to bring them up in school. Instead, let's draw them on chalkboards and dissect their use, explore their power and tell their truth.

"Da Good Guys"

Picking sides in a game of Cops and Robbers illustrates an interesting marvel of adolescence--at one point, most children entertain the prospect of becoming a cop. With age comes resentment and a growing sense that police work is driven by motivations.
