I’ve got some reporting to do on a new project this morning so there won’t be a Papers column today. But we do have some other fine offerings for you, dear readers.
* The Political Odds. Updated for your gaming pleasure.
* QT: Don’t Worry, Be Happy. Guns ‘N’ Puns.
* Dyson’s Chicago Project Blows. We’re a paper towel kind of city.
* Local Music Notebook: Billy Corgan, Arcade Fire & the Waco Brothers. Everybody’s on the bandwagon again.
* Local TV Notes: Babes in Tooland. Because, after all, it’s TV.
* This Day In Hockey. Remembering the NHL.

And from the Beachwood Twitter feed:
Dear 7th Circuit: Good job! I’m pretty sure the Founding Fathers envisioned the Gangster Disciples and Maniac Latin Kings as Militias.

Also, we posted these items on our Facebook feed in the last 24 hours, I’ll just reprise them here:
1. Green Bay jokes about the Bears.
2. This would make more sense if you could tear the page out and, um, use it just like the product it’s advertising..
3. Google’s Chicago cafe gets even more Googlier.
4. Someone’s gonna make Twinkies, folks. The brand is too valuable to die. Also: some of us like Snoballs.
