The Weekend Desk Report

Sure we’re emotionally drained, but no way are we stepping down.
Market Update
Own Business continued to thrive this week, demonstrating once again that when the rest of the economy tanks people finally start minding it.


Keep Your Frienemies Close . . .
A survey this week has shown we Chicagoans really like our neighbors. It’s our families we’re not so sure about.
. . . And Your Enemy Closer

Splendor in the Grasses
Interestingly enough, the Garfield Park Conservatory doesn’t list threatening violent cons among its family-friendly programs.
Triumvirate Times
President Barack Obama this week reasserted his determination to liberate Lindsay Lohan despite copious evidence that she’s nowhere near ready. Meanwhile, former president Jimmy Carter has finally talked some damn sense into Britney Spears. And no matter the international apologists, we learned this week you never can trust Paris Hilton.
Going Down
And in other news, duh.

The Weekend Desk Tip Line: Open for bidness.
