#1 In Chicago, if the (cement) shoe fits, wear it.

#2 Hi, here in Chicagoland and just want to put a plug in for this Kass guy. He has been a "pebble in the shoe" of Illinois politics for a while and if not for him I'd have totally cancelled my Trib, instead of going down to Sundays and Wed.
He also has a great greek recipe for Beer can chicken, gave me the least expensive recipe to brine my turkey this Thanksgiving and occasionally talks about real important things, like raising bad kids into good adults.
I don't like all his work, but am pleased to see him get some air time on O'Reilly and other shows. He is an equal opportunity reporter who will go after the all players in Chicago, including the Outfit. Check him out.

#4 Democrats first reaction is to defend their fellow donk. Except in this case. For the first time in my life, the donks didn't defend their own.
This guy is radioactive and the donks knew it even before Fritz yanked him off his treadmill.

#5 Yup, Kass is good. Royko was better, but Kass is good.

#6 Illinois Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan asked the state Supreme Court on Friday to declare Blagojevich "disabled." ...She declared herself "the people's lawyer"

No "show trial", apparently.

#7 Lisa Madigan would make a good replacement for Blagojevich based on her past history.

#8 She declared herself "the people's lawyer," over and over

Maybe it's just me, but I've not had very good luck with folks like Lisa over the years. I'll wait until she publishes her "people's manifesto." I'm certain she'll sort it all out for me there.
