Chicago - A message from the station manager

The Weekend Desk Report

By Natasha Julius

We’re still testing this edition, but now we’re testing it with passengers.
Market Update
The recession is over, the labor market is picking up and bacon wrapped in fried chicken is totally good for you. And the best part is, by the time you figure out we’re lying out our asses, we’ll be friggin’ rich.


Pocket Change
President Obama has moved to realize a confusingly-worded campaign promise to sort of change something by extending medical decision-making rights to same-sex couples. Not that these couples will be able to insure each other or anything.
Good to be King
In related news, President Obama did manage to clarify this week he is in favor of rescinding marriage rights for Larry King.
Continental Drift
Europeans this week found themselves crippled by the unstable and unpredictable nature of one of their sister nations. So in other words, duh.
Steel Stomachs
Finally this week, we didn’t realize targeted vomiting was an option to express displeasure at Pennsylvania sporting events. Now that it’s entered the public consciousness, however, we think we can guess on whom the fans might turn their stomachs next.
