The Papers will be sporadic this week as I’m on a freelance deadline that is sucking my brain apart and redistributing it to all corners of the universe, but we’ll still have plenty of good material throughout the site. Here’s today’s:
* QT: Semper Shy. Add Marines to the list of things that aren’t what they used to be.
* Chicagoetry: The Word Listen. The river is also the expressway between the living and the dead.
* The 3rd Annual Beachwood Super Bowl Halftime Bet: Beyoncé Knowles Edition. Beyoncé will kill this show. She will take it, break it, rebuild it in her image, and then destroy it just because she can.
Plus:
* Beachwood contributor Ed Hammer will discuss George Ryan’s release from prison with the Tribune’s John Kass on WLS 890 AM this morning between 9 and 11.
