What's the best way to keep your mind sharp during the strike? Read! Study! Discuss! In English!
I have a more substantial post in the works, but for right now, I strongly recommend that all of you go to visit Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball. This is a site maintained by a politics professor from the University of Virginia, one of America's best universities. The University was founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson (America's third president - he bought the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon.) Sabato is a respected analyst of American politics and I like his style - he's nonpartisan and he doesn't take himself too seriously.
Sabato updates the site every week to two weeks, so check back often. He covers a lot of topics that are not talked about in the mainstream press, like Congressional races and revising the Constitution. Also, he has a fabulous moustache.
Be well, my students. I will see you all soon.
clairvoyantly yours,
Eric
ps: don't forget to look at those Supreme Court cases for your expose topics!

There's a rumor that we could have an English test in December...Is that true?And if it is, what are the subjects we have to (re)learn?
thanks
It's more than a rumor my friend! Normally, we should have a the first quiz of the year on December 15. You should look at all of the homework assignments that you have done and all of the documents I have distributed in class.
I will give you more speccific instructions when we see each other again in class (hopefully this week!).
