Chicagoist Podcast - January 29 →
On this week’s podcast, what went into producing this week’s Wal-Mart expose? We talk with our own Kevin Robinson to find out more, and to see what’s next.
“Being president at this sodden, moldering time in history requires a...”
– Charles Pierce pretty much nails it.
“I hope to hell that when I do die somebody has the sense to just dump me in the...”
– Your move, Salinger family.
I might be the only one in the world...
…but I don’t give a rat’s ass about the Apple Tablet.
Sorry, Steve Jobs. It’s all I can do to keep up the latest iPod every 15 minutes.
But good luck with it. Sounds like you’ve got a bunch of people excited about it, from what I hear.
“I never wanted anything like I wanted to live in Chicago. Siskel, Royko and...”
– From the comments here.
“I know there are a lot of people out there who are upset about some of the...”

From the S-T:
Outbound lanes of the Eisenhower Expressway were shut down for more than two hours on the West Side Monday morning after a man jumped to his death off the Kostner Avenue overpass and was struck by several vehicles, some of which did not stop, State Police said.

– New blog post.
“The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some...”
– The true quote. Not about the music business (although I’ve seen it on a shirt saying such) or the radio business (although surely both are equally applicable). Plus, there’s no final gag of “There’s also a downside,” although if HST had thought of it he surely would...
“In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upwardly mobile—and the rest of us are...”
– Impending Vegas has me reading HST again.
“By urging his audience of millions not to help, Rush Limbaugh has undoubtedly...”

Things that Disgust Me

There is this couple I go to school with. They are not who I ever would have put together in my mind. They constantly write on each other’s facebook wall.

Who wants to be a male prostitute? Well if you want to be one, go apply at the Shady Lady Ranch in Nevada! The brothel charges $300 an hour for the man of your choice. Prostitution is legal in Nevada if you didn’t already know but this ranch offers males, which switches up the game a little. The folks at Shady Lady have received over 150 applications to join what will be marketed as The...
Hello, Harrison.
From NBCChicago:
Hollywood heartthrob and Chicago native Harrison Ford will be in Chicago Tuesday night to promote his latest film.
Jones stars in “Extraordinary Measures,” and portrays a loner scientist attempting to save the sick children of a desperate father played by Brendan Fraser.
In other words, it’s “Indiana Jones” meets “The Mummy.”
