The Weekend Desk Report

By Natasha Julius

Unlike some people there’s no question whether we’ll work this Sunday.
Market Update
Cup Heroics saw its value decrease significantly this week.


Gr8 Mayor
Barely in office six weeks, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is already laying siege his predecessor’s legacy. While many will remember Richard M. Daley as the man who failed to bring the five-ring circus to town, Emanuel has already landed the much more entertaining eight-ring circus.
Brain Drain
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the lights are still out for many Illinoisans. After all, it takes a lot of energy to keep this farce going.
Print Strong
Let’s just get this straight: bankrupt a newspaper company, stay in jail; bankrupt an entire city, get paroled. Who says traditional print media is losing its influence?
Rack and Re-Rack
Finally this week, as if death and taxes weren’t enough, you can now officially add gravity to the list of the inevitable.
