I wish I would have thought of this conceit sooner – and built an entire graphic around it.
By the way, I would normally root for Wisconsin, because I’ve always liked Wisconsin, and Madison is a great school and awesome town.
But Scott Walker makes it harder each and every year.
And the NCAA, well, I love the Tournament but . . . these kids should see some of that revenue.
Anyway, here’s a buncha stuff.
Feds To Homan?
Amnesty International and a couple Chicago pols have asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate Homan Square. Perhaps more interesting at the moment is the letter Amnesty sent to Rahm Emanuel asking for access to Homan. Rahm has not replied – nor do I suspect he will until after the election, if at all.
The letter makes for interesting reading; you can see it all here.

While the media celebrates #SunshineWeek it should examine its own predilection for secrecy. Newsrooms refusing to comment are the worst.
