    It's easy to say now, but the story always sounded a bit sensational. It's almost like the Principal was passing along gossip he heard from 15- and 16-year-olds.

    Unforunately, once again, facts get in the way of a good story.

    What schools should do, and I doubt too many parents would object, is give each kid one of those electronic babies to take care of for a certain length of time (a couple of months) as part of health class. And make it pass/fail. As in, if your baby isn't taken care of, you fail health, no matter what your grades are in the rest of the curicullum.

    When the kids have to wake up three times during the night or if you have to repeat the class next year because you blew off the responsibility, kids won't see having babies as just another fun thing to do.

    There's a LIVE press conference on CNN right now by Gloucester's 24-year-old homeless guy, denying he's the baby's daddy.

    Nancy Grace must now find something else to talk about for the next week.

    How the hell does a homeless guy call a presser?

    Barack Obama knows how to call a press conference. {cross-thread}

    Frankly, I don't know what the big deal is. How different is this pact from American Pie?

    This will be the hottest movie ever. Next summer, at a theater near you.

    I was wondering what Shawn Kemp was doing these days.
