1. The Big 10 once again makes noise about expanding. Maybe this time they will also change their name (Overrated 12? Can’t win the Rose Bowl 12?).

2. Lots of backtracking on the early reports of a successful Senate compromise on the public option.

3. Why every once in a while we need to pause and review cultural norms.

4. Are movies about to be revolutionized once again? Or did Hollywood just spend $200 million to make viewers vomit?

5. In what is proving to be a difficult year for moderately conservative Republicans, Senator Bob Bennett of Utah gets his toughest challenger yet in his bid for reelection.
