Quick Hits

The season known as Year End Clearance is in full swing and with it a series of quick hits so you can get back to your "holiday" shopping.

Funeral Pyre

Stacy Peterson has been missing for a month now...Theresa Bunn has been dead since November 12th...she was murdered then set on fire not too far away from where I am writing this to you. Her killer hasn't been found and to make matters worse this case also gets little to zero media attention. This may have something to do with where the murder was committed (I should say murders there was a body of a young woman, Hazel Lewis who was also incinerated). On the southside of Chicago near and around Hyde Park the last few weeks have been stressful on the residents to say the least. But outside of the city all you hear about is a media hog who probably killed his second wife and who may end up on Oprah sooner than later. Fuck you Drew.

Making Up For Lost Time

The writers strike is in full swing and MAN I hope it ends soon. The execs at NBC are going to show “vintage” episodes of the Tonight Show starring…Jay Leno? Damn when does Conan start again?

From the SportsDesk

Devin Hester can out run you.

The Chicago Bulls really stink and John Paxson should be jailed for not getting Kobe or KG…

GO BLACK HAWKS!!!

Arsenal is the best football team you’ve never heard of.

…And Finally

Before Thankstaking I saw a photo of President Bush with some Native Americans…it is the most disturbing photograph I have seen in recent memory. It is also a biting commentary on where we are as a nation. The only time the indigenous are recognized is when we celebrate their massacre. Hope you had an enjoyable Thankstaking.
