‘ll be on WBEZ’s Morning Shift this morning discussing the week’s news with Achy Obejas and host Tony Sarabia. I have some other obligations to tend to as well, so chances are there won’t be a Papers column today. Our fabulous and lovely weekend desk editor Natasha Julius is sick and experiencing, among other things, “weaponized uber-snot,” so if she doesn’t turn things around in the next 24 hours I’ll use the Weekend Desk Report to catch up on what I’m missing today. (She doesn’t have the flu, by the way, just . . . something else.)
Our fine Beachwood contributors are still hard at work, however. Here’s what we do have today:
*
QT: The Several-Party System.
We better make for the door if the ceiling is already on the table.
*
The College Football Report: Post-Mortem.
Season ends appropriately with a dirty old man salivating over a beauty pageant queen in a blowout.
*
Chicagoetry: The Time Machine.
The Green Line and dreams.
*
The Week in Chicago Rock.
Frankly, we only found two shows to show you from this week – and even one of those we initially rejected. Worst Week In Chicago Rock Ever.

The Beachwood Tip Line: Short but mighty.
