Back off, Dick
Monday, May 27, 2013 - Posted by Rich Miller * Via IR, Sen. Dick Durbin talks about the 1st Amendment and a media shield law…
Durbin has tried to use this media shield issue as a not so back door way of defining who is and who is not a journalist. The federal government should not be in this business. The people we are covering should not have that sort of control over us. That “unanswered question” Durbin frets about so much ought to be up to the people themselves.

Fun with numbers
Monday, May 27, 2013 - Posted by Rich Miller * From the Tribune…
Actually, $250 million won’t be “diverted from the state.” The vast majority of that cash, $210 million, is for local communities which host the new casinos and racinos, and that money is further divvied up for regional revenue sharing. That’s pretty standard stuff. * Related…

Crosstown blahs
Monday, May 27, 2013 - Posted by Rich Miller * I’m finding it difficult to work up much excitement about the Crosstown Classic this year. The biggest reason, I suppose, is that I’m stuck in session during the series. But even if I was in Chicago this week, I probably wouldn’t be feeling it. Yes, the White Sox are on a roll of late. After an absolutely miserable start, we finally got our first sweep of the season and are now just four games out of first place in the AL Central. But, man, those first two months really took a toll on my baseball soul. Maybe I’m not my usual self because the Flubs are so exceptionally horrible these days. 19-30? Words fail me. Perhaps y’all should send your entire team down to AAA. And I don’t mean just the players. I mean the entire team, rickety stadium and all. Do us all a favor and secede from the National League. Move to Rosemont. Heck, move to Peoria, for all I care. * Anyway, go Sox, Cubs suck, etc. Let’s at least go through the motions.
