* JB has the Sun-Times pretty well covered today…

* He’s not spending as much on the Tribune’s site, though. Wonder why…

…Adding… From a pal: “I just got the full JB on the Trib’s website”…

* The only time I ever see a Sharon Fairley ad is when I’m online…

* No political love for the Joliet Herald-News…

I’ll pass, thanks. A lobotomy might do me some good right now, though.

* But there’s Fairley again in the Southern, under the massive Brain and Spine Institute ad…

* This calls for a song…

Boy, I’ll keep that in mind. - Ron Burgundy - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 1:58 pm: I’ve long heard of guys scheduling such procedures this time of year so they can spend a few days on the couch with a beer, some snacks and a bag of frozen peas. - Soccermom - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:01 pm: To be fair, Sharon does have both a brain and a spine. - ArchPundit - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:05 pm: —-they can spend a few days on the couch with a beer, some snacks and a bag of frozen peas. I was only down for a day. Then again, perhaps they are smarter by drawing it out longer. - JB13 - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:07 pm: There really is no escape. JBP even invaded the safe space of my morning glance at the weather forecast. Thanks, Accuweather! - wordslinger - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:08 pm: I think a more accurate b-ball analogy for a vasectomy is a blocked shot. - Nishi - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:09 pm: I see Fairley and Goldstein ads all over Facebook. - Ok - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:11 pm: You do realize these ads are all tracked to your search and browsing history, right Rich? - 47th Ward - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:16 pm: ===I think a more accurate b-ball analogy for a vasectomy is a blocked shot.=== Zing. I was trying to come up with a Sports Clips joke, but couldn’t find a way to keep it within the confines of a family blog. - Keyrock - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:21 pm: I’ve seen Fairley ads all the time on the cable here in the north suburbs. - Streator Curmudgeon - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:23 pm: Rich, I believe it was Groucho who said, “I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.” - Perrid - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:25 pm: @OK, some are some aren’t. Without knowing how any of the papers farm out the ads for the site, what technology they use, we can’t say for sure how it’s done. - Anonymous - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:46 pm: –You do realize these ads are all tracked to your search and browsing history, right Rich?– The reason you see an ad could be for a number of reasons one being browser history (cookie based) or it could be based on the IP address (your wifi) or device id (cell phones). There are 4 main data companies or DMPs that have all the data on everyone in the US. Those are pipes everyone uses for digital ads. The sun-times above-the-fold ad is not based on cookies/search history. it is a site-wide buy negotiated w/ publisher outside ad exchange. - Something Outrageous - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:50 pm: I have come to the conclusion Billionaires don’t govern well. - LTSW - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:57 pm: Heard my first ad for Sharon Fairly on Springfield radio this morning. - Lt Guv - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 2:59 pm: A Beatles tune always helps. - Honeybadger - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 3:07 pm: - Ron Burgundy - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 1:58 pm: I’ve long heard of guys scheduling such procedures this time of year so they can spend a few days on the couch with a beer, some snacks and a bag of frozen peas. Might be TMI, but I did just that 16 years ago St Patrick weekend. - Arthur Andersen - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 3:10 pm: I know this isn’t the place for detailed discussion, but they have a no-scalpel option now? ‘Murica. - hisgirlfriday - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 3:49 pm: how long til the trib top headline changes from amazon hq news to the fortune accusations against mickey ferro being a creep to women? http://amp.timeinc.net/fortune/2018/03/19/tronc-chairman-michael-ferro-allegations#click=https://t.co/ACTa9iE5FK - ArchPundit - Monday, Mar 19, 18 @ 4:09 pm: ====no-scalpel option now? As long as you don’t look like JB–or me for that matter. Fat guys still get a lot of pain. Sorry, comments for this post are now closed.
