I’m off for the holiday per the Beachwood’s new furlough policy, but will return on Tuesday.
In the meantime:
* Presidents Still Dancing For Furniture.
Proof through the night, that our Maverick Dual Reclining Leather Sofa was still there.
* The Political Odds.
Toi Hutchinson drops out to spend less time with her family.
* QT: Asteroids Afoot.
An atmospheric asterisk.
* Random Food Report: Griddle Melts Galore And The Pancakes Of The Future.
Plus: Hexbugs & Waffles.
* The Weekend In Chicago Rock.
You shoulda been there.
* SportsMonday: Derrick Rose Should Be Reasonable.
No hurry, but no 110 percent either.

The Weekend Desk Report
By Natasha Julius
The state of our union? Eh, could be worse.
$1,200 Mink Reversible Parka
Jesus’ representative on Earth resigned for the first time since Avignon because he just wasn’t feeling it anymore and that’s still not the most bizarre story of the week.
$10,105 in Bruce Lee Memorabilia
More than 4,200 passengers and crew were left floating in filth while waiting for a damn tugboat and that’s still not the most disgusting story of the week.
$28,500 in Undisclosed Loans and Gifts
A woman claimed to be carjacked to Schaumburg, but you know – no biggie and that’s still not the shadiest story of the week.
$5,000 Football
A meteor streaked across the Russian sky, scattering debris across six municipalities and damaging a KHL ice hockey arena and that still isn’t the most jaw-dropping story of the week.
$750,000 Total
No, the most outrageous, incendiary story of the week? There are apparently furriers in Beverly Hills.
