The [Monday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

The Papers needs a day off but will return on Tuesday.

Meanwhile:

* The Weekend In Chicago Rock:

The Stone Foxes, As I Lay Dying, Ari Hest, AWOLNATION, Break Science, Alabama Shakes, Ray LaMontagne, The Coup, Hellyeah, In Flames, Japanther and Mike Cooley.

* The [UPDATED] Political Odds:

Guess what? The presumptive frontrunners are women: Debbie Halvorson, Toi Hutchinson and Robin Kelly.

The other side of the gender ledger is less impressive: Anthony Beale, Napoleon Harris and Donne Trotter.

Mel Reynolds? Probably not a good year to have a crime against a young girl on your record, much less bank fraud.

* QT: Die Hard With A Lethal Weapon.

Ho, ho, ho.

* SportsMonday: Jim "Coach" Coffman will break down the broken Bears ~~later this morning~~ ~~on Tuesday~~ next week.

The Beachwood Tip Line: Busted flat in Baton Rouge.
