Chicago - A message from the station manager

The Weekend Desk Report

By Natasha Julius

We’d like to share more about the key stories this weekend, but it’ll have to wait until the lawsuit clears.
Market Update
Bad week for balloonist futures.
Trader Nos
In response to customer concerns, Trader Joe’s has announced it will no longer import certain foods from China. They may still import potential customers, however.


Salt in the Wound
Researchers concluded this week that Mars is too salty to support life. Despite a recent legal action, Jupiter insists it has nothing to do with its tiny neighbor’s sorry state.
Airing Concerns
Proponents of future Mars colonization can take heart, however. Despite the salt and acidity, the atmosphere on the Red Planet is still about twice as hospitable as that in Beijing.
Wardrobe Function
Apparently the very real threat of a rampaging on-camera crack binge was not what kept CBS brass up the night before the Grammys. Instead it was the very real threat of being taken down by a pair of cartoon tits. Again.
Va-Jay-Jane
Finally this week, organizers of future Super Bowl half-time shows should take note. Even an old, established act can bite you in the ass sometimes.
