With our kids, we have this ritual we go through to help them steady themselves when the enormity of climbing a tree or learning to ride a two-wheeler gets them a bit frazzled.

"What's the first rule of tree-climbing?" we ask.

"Don't panic," they answer and compose...

It's very confusing trying to figure out what an elitist is these days. Who qualifies to be an elitist? Are there standards? Certain physical characteristics? Is it catching? If you somehow become one, are you better off? Worse off? Very confusing.

My Off the Bus colleague Mayhill Fowler opened a big old can of class debate on Friday with her 6,000-comment post on Barack Obama. His San Francisco statement is now everywhere, but based on the booing at Hillary Clinton's stump speech today, it's not long-term fodder for push polls....
