The Weekend Desk ReportFor completists and the historical record, there was no column on Friday. 1. "Several Illinois car title lobbyists declined to comment for this story, and none of the corporate offices returned WBEZ calls or e-mails," Natalie Moore reports. Read/listen to her piece to find out why. 2. "Four years ago, Illinois passed the first in a series of discipline reforms meant to reduce student suspensions and expulsions from public schools," Kalyn Belsha reports for the Chicago Reporter. "But the 2014 law hasn't had the outcomes legislators intended." 3. Redditor: Canadian Geese Are Ruining The New Lakeshore Path. I Was Taking It To Work Every Day Now It's Just Too Gross. 4.

"Wishing for supporters of Donald Trump to find their hearts, their brains or their patriotism is a fool's errand. We are, as the president has said many times, 'a stupid country,' and every day of this presidency proves his point," Timothy Egan writes for the New York Times.

10. People Can't Find The Stars They Paid To Name - And They're Calling Astronomers For Tech Support. This outfit is out of Glenview. From Wikipedia: "International Star Registry of Illinois started in 1979 by John and Phyllis Mosele. The company claims to have named about 2 million stars since its formation and published these names in a series of books. It has been organizing their business of naming stars for people for decades. The present owner of the company is Rocky Mosele, one of John and Phyllis Mosele's twelve children." - New on the Beachwood . . .
