I'm struggling over the apostrophe in "First thing's first." To be there, or not to be there?! Does that mean, "First things are first?" In which case, it's a contraction, and yes. Or does it mean, "That which belongs to the first thing must come first?" In which case, possessive, and yes. But does it mean simply, "First things (should come) first," in which case, no.

This is dreadfully important, of course, and must be settled before the next Presidential election, or who knows what will happen?

Pigs will lay down with caterpillars?
The Gulf stream will reverse?
Martians will take over CNN?

Thank Yahweh you caught that kansas, I actually read that as "Frist thing's first" and was quite concerned for Man E's sanity.

 Maybe a contraction but singular instead of plural, as in (The)First thing is first. Although, if it's singular thing rather than plural things, then there is no need to put it in order.

First things first; none last.

I'd leave the apostrophe out, because I hear "things" as plural (as in first things come first) but that's just me... with the apostrophe before the "s" it becomes singular and that doesn't look right at all...

Keith Olbermann speaks for me.

  Maybe you can help me with this 'chicken and egg' thing I've been working on...

Yeah, is it the chicken's egg or the egg's chicken?
