The [Tuesday] Papers

1. Quinn, Rauner Rip Each Other On Ethics, Budget In Face-Off At Tribune.

More like rip each other's faces off.

I hope to bring some analysis tomorrow; we'll see.

2. Hoffman Estates Teens Accused Of Smashing 53 Mailboxes In Schaumburg.

Here's an image captured by surveillance video.

Suspects.

Teenage pranks.

Of course, what passes for a prank in the suburbs is a crime in the inner city. Same with the dope-smoking.

I happen to favor teenage pranks, for the most part. But something to think about; none of the kids in Dazed and Confused ever thought for a moment that they'd wind up in County - or worse. Perhaps that's what some people call "privilege."

3. Rauner Education Plan Light On Specifics.

Why should it be any different than any of his other plans?

Santa Rauner is a bigger pander bear than Blago.

4. Majority Of Americans Say Obama's Presidency Has Been A Failure.

Including Joe Biden.

5. The Cub Factor: Ricketts' Sticky Ticket Wicket.

* Ditka Laments Ray Rice Suspension: "His Earning Power Is Destroyed."

Guess we won't be seeing his endorsement ad for Rauner again.

* Like Rauner, Ditka Loves Scabs.

How's that for loyalty?

* Disabled Kids Are Not Bruce Rauner's Problem.

Nor Rahm's.

Here's an idea: Rahm, Rauner and Ditka retire to a dove-hunting farm.

* Jay Cutler Was The Most Catastrophic Quarterback Of Week One.

The metrics don't lie.

* STATS LLC Buys Bloomberg Sports.

Northbrook buys New York.

* Rent For Romance.

All kinds of creepy.
