  1. It is hoped and urged that none of our Local Courthouses are targeted by ” armed protesters”.
    Endangering our Law Enforcement Professionals, Public Employees,and Desecration of our Courthouses would be just plain wrong.

  2. Philly fires the coach who won their first Super Bowl couple years ago because he benched a QB in a nothing game.

    Chicago, it appears, is keeping theirs.

    I’ll understand the mind of a politician before understanding the mind of a NFL owner.

  3. An Oscar thread would be very soothing today.
    A White Sox thread might be encouraging,

  5. I thought Ken Jennings did a good job yesterday as the first Jeopardy guest host. He choked up at the beginning of the show when talking about Alex Trebek.

  6. I’ve worked in the Capitol Complex on and off for over 30 years. I’ve often been disgusted with the place but never really frightened. That has changed.

  7. Big gain for the White Sox with signing……now time for Cubs to let another one go.

  8. If you’re the sponsor of a bill and can’t answer one question about it, maybe go and read the bill and figure out what’s in it.

  9. Trib breaks lease moves out of Prudential Building to it printing plant. More reporters take buy out. Pretty soon it will become a free throw away paper. What a shame

  10. I’m encouraged to see the Sox continue to go after quality players and build a better team for 2021.

    The likelihood of attending an opening day game (or any other game) seems to be hovering at zero, but pandemic baseball is better than no baseball.

  11. @ Dog Lover -

    My very first thought, too. I can’t remember the last time we had a sunny morning. I’ve been missing that big yellow object in the sky.

  13. == often been disgusted with the place but never really frightened. ==

    Only time I was ever somewhat frightened was 9/11 when I was sitting in my office in what was considered a high risk target building.

  14. Was great to see Bradley play and a hoops game (and win). Last time was before Christmas.

    The Washington Post is reporting that Rep. Brad Schneider has tested positive for COVID after being locked down during the siege at the Capitol with Republicans who refused to wear masks.

  16. Bright sun in Chicago today. and I don’t just mean the news that the Sox have an actual closer.

  17. I’m praying for peace…with both eyes open.

  18. Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney beat you to the race for who says they will vote to impeach Trump.
