Salon.com blasts The Drudge "report". While on the one hand I'm glad there's no scandal to tear at the Democratic party, it was entertaining. and I thought it might help Edwards, still my current candidate of choice.

A Chicago museum is abandoned, everyone searches for the director, and then 2 months later he's found in a different suburb with a new museum.

The politicians want to change the highway, but political scandal in Chicago? I'm shocked. Apparently it isn't enough that closing expressway exits made everyone cry racism (pretty reasonably, I'd say). No, now the money for the reconstruction is being "diverted" as well.

Bobby Rush wants to solve this Emmett Till case already, all right? It's only been 50 years.

Mayor Daley has 'no problems' with gay marriage". However, he points out that he doesn't have the power to grant licenses and it's really up to the city clerk.
Here's his slight revealing quote:
"A lot of people are opposed to it. So be it," the mayor said. "But again, you have to point out the strength of that community -- they're doctors, they're lawyers, they're journalists, they're politicians, they're someone's son or daughter, they're someone's mother or father.

"They're parents, and I have been with them. They've adopted children. They have wonderful children. To me, we have to understand this is part and parcel of our families and our extended families."

I think Mayor Daley should come to Showtunes to celebrate.

3 leaders wanted: Arts Lovers/Math Skills/Charisma. Thick Skin Reqd. Oooh! Me! Me! Pick me!

Okay, well, get back to me in 20-30 years. Then pick me.
However, if Bob Falls goes to the public, then the Goodman will need a new artistic director, which will create this spiraling effect of people making moves across companies...hmmm... Yeah. Won't happen. But it's interesting, I really can't imagine the Goodman without Bob Falls.

Low carb move as biggest shift in commercial behavior in a looooong time. You know, it just sucks for we vegetarians. I can't really live on just eggs, cheese and tofu.

They shouldn't have been surprised, but hundreds of children auditioned for Mary Poppins.
