Bedeviled by several technical issues. Well, two. But that’s enough. One is 99% solved and the remaining 1% of the problem I can live with for now. The other is 100% maddening.
Still, for your enjoyment:
* I recommend @BeachwoodReport in particular today for the overnight real-time quotes about Rahm Emanuel’s 2011 campaign as well as key excerpts from national media coverage dating back to his Clinton days.
Such as . . . :
… Members of the Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Hispanic Caucus say he does not pay attention to their issues.”

Go see the rest. You will be rewarded.

* The Beachwood Radio Hour #47: What Chicagoans Aren’t Being Told.
The most extraordinary part of the show, though, is about how New York magazine buried the most golden nugget of all the Brian Williams coverage.
The rest is about the nature of local news and where/how people are supposed to learn about Homan Square, the CIA’s fake reforms, the NSA scandals, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which is probably the most under-reported story going.
Also: Pander bears in a runoff.
* SportsMonday: Let The Cutler Countdown Begin.
Our very own Jim “Coach” Coffman asks: Does he have one more jerk move in him?
Plus: The Beachwood Radio Sports Hour #41: Bears Get Boring.
Clearing the drama decks. Plus: Who The Hell Is E’Twaun Moore?; The Big Boy Blackhawks; Tony, Oh!; Joe Maddon Is A Madman; The Mesmerizing Minnie Miñoso; and The Chicago Fire Do Some Stuff.
