Some thankyous are in order today.

This week’s issue of Crain’s Chicago Business includes another installment of Reading Chair, a series of brief interviews with influential people about their daily reading habits (paid subscription required to view link).

The subject this week is former Illinois Governor Jim Thompson’s reading list and includes this very nice paragraph:

Political e-mail lists, especially Capitol Fax, a daily newsletter on Illinois politics by journalist Rich Miller; subscription is $300 annually. “We devour that here.”

Thanks, guvnah.

Meanwhile, The Chicagoist posted a Chicago-oriented holiday gift guide this week and Mike Fourchier (of the Haymarket Group) includes Capitol Fax on his list, and even works in a plug for my blog:

For those addicted to Illinois politics (and there is a twelve-step program for this horrible disease), the gossip sheet most Springfieldians read is Capitol Fax by Rich Miller. Miller is constantly pervasive in the Capitol, alternately loved and hated by everyone in town. If he hears it, it goes in. His blog is always interesting reading, but the real tipsheet to get is his regular e-mail â€” also sent by fax. To subscribe, e-mail Rich your e-mail or fax number, name, and billing address. Submissions come daily when the legislature is in session, less often during breaks. Annual subscription, $300.

Thanks, Mike, but if I put even half of what I hear every day into Capitol Fax I’d have to hire a body guard and every lawyer in town.
