The [Fourth Of July 2017] PapersFor completists, there was no column on Friday or over the weekend. I'm cat-sitting in Bucktown among other pressing matters. I'm really, really behind . . . in all phases of life. I hope to catch up this week, but I've been saying this exact thing for 11 years now . . . which reminds me, I've been telling people lately the site is in its 13th year but it's actually its 12th . . . . . I think. We went live in February 2006. That means we completed our 11th year last February, right? We're in our 12th year! - I am totally working on the state budget, police reform and other goodies, including continuing media malfeasance! For now, let me post this placeholder column, good for however long I need it to be! - The Cubs Are Team Trump Now - Joe & Mika Owe America An Apology - What Me & Tim Watched Last Night - Beachwood Photo Booth: S&M Carpets - The White Sox Report: Art Of The Walk-Off - Last Week In Chicago Rock - The Audacity Of The Dems' Cynical Opposition To Single-Payer "Obama's challenge has already been met by almost every other industrialized country, where universal health care plans like single-payer and national health service systems cover everyone at far lower costs than our current privatized system." - BeachBook Chicago's Elected School Board Stalls Again. * Muslim Doctor In Small Minnesota Town That Welcomed Him, Then Voted For Trump, Tries To Understand His Totally Fucked-Up Neighbors. * Confirmation Bias Goggles. - TweetWood LOL. Fake news.
* The media can adopt the governor's disingenuous 32% rhetoric or discuss the 1.2 percent increase in the IL income tax that just passed the General Assembly. But clearly, being spun in this scenario is willful. Also, the increase we're talking about is still below the "temporary" rate in place when Bruce Rauner took office, so the Democrats, with a dozen Republican votes, have actually "permanently" lowered taxes - at a time when the state desperately needs revenue.
