Aurora's Planned Parenthood can open immediately.
How bad do things have to get before Daley will denounce what's going on with the Chicago Police Department's Special Operations Section? Even the Associated Press is saying, "Not since club-swinging cops in baby-blue helmets chased demonstrators through clouds of pepper gas at the 1968 Democratic National Convention have Chicago police been so awash in trouble." Dayum. And yet Da Mare has given no indication that he'll disband the SOS. Murder for hire, perjury, kidnapping, assault, robbery — enough already. When we want corrupt cops, we'll watch The Shield.
If you're going to call someone a donkey dick, do it to his or her face, OK? Columbia College prof Reid Hyams was fired after leaving a note for a colleague that said "Jack sucks donkey d[ick]," which Hyams claims is slang for a type of electro-voice microphone. Also, the note was changed to read that Jack instead sucks donkey cock, and that's just rude. Uh ... we can't believe we had to Google donkey dick.
Hey, there's more than one up-and-coming Chicago chef with a mohawk, and this one actually won something: Chicagoan Pat Berlotti won the World Grits Eating Championship yesterday after eating 21 pounds of grits. Holy shit fuck, that is a lot of grits.
Oooouch, our heart! Two tiger cubs were injured Thursday when their parents tiger ... beat ... them. Both cubs needed surgery; one is now sans front right leg, and both needed some tail repair.
The Bank of America ate La Salle bank. Now BofA is moving its real estate headquarters here.

The tiger cubs story makes me want to cry! But I believe it was just the father tiger that attacked. The mom hurt their tails trying to save them by pulling them away. I'm going to go sob a little now.
Did I miss something, or do you not have something to say about Nokia buying Chicago-based Navteq.
Navteq moved here from, I believe, the Silicon Valley/SF area some time ago, and it is one of the only recognizable tech entities of the new era in the Chicago area. Not really sure if the buyout is good or bad for Chicago, but it wouldn't be such an elephant in the room if Chicago had a bit more new era tech companies.
"note for a college"
F - see me.
Margaret - It's Bertoletti, not Berlotti.
Grits are a great way to start every morning...insert your "My Cousin Vinny" dialogue here. Harry's on Randolph and Franklin is a great place for grits, but I settle for Mac Kelly's...does anyone know any great grit places?
Certainly, whomever wrote this, has no understanding of what has or is going on...
1. If you're going to call someone a donkey dick, do it to his or her face, OK?
No one called any one a DD.
2. Columbia College prof Reid Hyams was fired after leaving a note for a colleague that said "Jack sucks donkey d[ick]," which Hyams claims is slang for a type of electro-voice microphone.
It is not a claim, it is a fact. That is industry slang in pro audio... Many industries have their own slang or nicknames that they commonly use. Additionally, no physical note exists, it was discarded within minutes after it was posted, as it was nothing more than a "joke."
3. Also, the note was changed to read that Jack instead sucks donkey cock, and that's just rude.
The note was never changed, the report of the incident was materially incorrect and failed to state what this note actually said... It was misquoted... Perhaps, deliberately?
4. Uh ... we can't believe we had to Google donkey dick.
...and what is the problem with this? You had to actually look something up that you were unaware of to educate yourself? That's why we have dictionaries, references books, Google, etc., I don't understand your problem with this?
Finally, this is an insignificant incident where the end results were blown far out of proportion based on a joke... In poor taste or not? This is hardly news worthy, except for the fact that it was mismanaged by the school.
