The [Thursday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

2:55 P.M. UPDATE: Oh what the hell, I might as well wait until tomorrow at this point. Here's what I posted on NBCChicago.com today, though.

* CPS Is Nacho Nation. Heh-heh.

* 'XRT's Brehmer: It Wasn't Me. Lin no lobbyist.

* Alderman's Parking Perk. Courtesy of Joe Moore.

I'm on a panel this morning about opinion writing as part of the Community Media Workshop's annual Making Media Connections conference.

The rest of the panel includes Dawn Turner Trice of the Tribune; Tom McNamee of the Sun-Times; and Chris Robling, a WGN commentator who works for Jayne Thompson & Associates.

We start at 9:45 a.m., on the 8th floor at 1104 South Wabash.

I'll have something for the column upon my return.
