Chicago - A message from the station manager

The [Friday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

1. Pass the unwritten bill right away!
Memo to Obama: Congress isn’t the Chicago City Council.
*
In 10 days I’ll tell you how I’m going to pay for it!
Memo to Obama: And you’re no Richard M. Daley.


*
Could this presidency be any more generic? What happened to the Obama brand?
The American Jobs Act might as well be brought to you by Walgreens.
*
Seriously, for a president touting an innovation economy he sure doesn’t have any himself.
*
Doesn’t matter much anyway. Nobody believes you anymore.
*
“On The Daily Show, Jon Stewart acknowledged up front that the speech was being made after he taped his show, and since he doesn’t air a new edition on Fridays, he’d deal with the Obama plan ‘on Monday, when you don’t give a shit anymore.'”
2. Ten Years Gone.
3. Houston Finally Kills Red Light Cameras.
No longer world-class.
4. Same As It Ever Was: Obama’s Secret Renditions.
5. Czars of the Playbook: Falcons at Bears.
6. The Week in WTF: Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
7. Wrigley Field Movie Night Considered.
Might even start during the day.
8. “Tonight, the President laid out a plan that will put Americans back to work,” Gov. Pat Quinn said in a statement.
And I’ve laid out a plan throw them back out.
9. For a short week it’s been an awfully long week. That’s all I’ve got in me this morning. Cheers.
