The [Monday] Papers
As I mentioned last week, things will be touch-and-go this week because I'm moving next weekend.
Hey, I just got "last week," "this week" and "next week(end)" into the same sentence!
I still have a lot to do to prepare for the move - mainly in terms of packing shit up - so the column may lag a bit. I have tons of crap to go through in an effort to pare down before the move as well; the new place is pretty well furnished without a whole lot of room for my stacks of papers and decades of reporting notebooks and general newsroom vibe, so there's still a lot of work ahead of me.
I'll still be in Logan Square, about six or eight blocks north. More on that later.

A sampling of the delight and disgust you can find @BeachwoodReport.
'Virtually every national and swing state poll shows Sanders tied with or beating Trump. Instead of asking if Sanders is unelectable, ask another question: What if Sanders is actually the MOST electable Democrat?' https://t.co/9dGJmD0Nff #axiosam

Amazon says its success owes to being "obsessed with the consumer." In fact, the record shows the company's rise was fueled by growth-boosting economic network effects, horrifying levels of labor exploitation, and a fortunate sales tax exemption. https://t.co/abNY4FU5Xn
