- So Governor Pat Quinn just put out a new internet ad for his re-election. The focus? Transparency and openness in government.‚ Unless you are a public radio station trying to get into the youth prisons. No matter, Rob’s story yesterday had hundreds more views than the commercial.
- Awesome - Quinn canceled his appearance today at Midway to welcome all the celebs coming in for Second City’s 50th anniversary shows. I would love to watch the Governor and his handlers awkwardly shake hands with Shelly Long and that one writer from Criminal Minds. Oh well, maybe some other time.
- The Tribune has a story about how the woman who perished in the high-rise fire was a German immigrant who escaped WWII bombings.
- Today is our food drive collection competition. Earlier in the week, I photographed the Public Affairs donation bin to document the 4 Hershey candy bars. Today, there are only 2 Hershey candy bars. What the hell? Who steals from the food drive? I’m not even that slimy.
- If you were going to renovate the bathrooms at Wrigley Field, what would be your first move? Right, get rid of the troughs. Apparently, the Cubs didn’t listen.
- And finally, I guess Andrew Gill (blog Jimmy Carter) made a truce last night, ending our blog war with Chicago media. I guess we are one happy family.‚ Like a big possum family.
