We're calling it a day a little early today--and something tells us you are, too.

Police arrested four men and six women today for their involvement with a prostitution ring. The men were charged with involuntary servitude of a minor for pimping girls as young as 14, and the women were charged with prostitution. The charges are the culmination of a three-month investigation in which the police monitored Craigslist. [Tribune.]

Jonathan Rosenbaum, head film critic at the Reader, is retiring. He says it's not because the Reader is imploding, but rather because he is turning 65. [TOC blog]

At least some of our readers know how to party.

If Governor Blagojevich is "Public Official A," he's in an additional world of shit. Documents in Tony Rezko's upcoming trial indicate that the Governor--well, some public official--promised he'd give contracts and additional government work to his friends. [Sun-Times]

Hello, our new dream. You've replaced old dream.

duh on the craigslist thing. i've never understood why so many people advertise their love for "420" or wanting to "ski" or all that. if i were an undercover cop, i'd be all over that shit. i mean, it's not entrapment if you're fucking putting it out there, is it?

Dear Santa,

Please bring me a pony, Guitar Hero III, and an indictment for Governor Blagojevich.

Love,
Billy

My God....that is a large rabbit. Or is it really a rabbit? If your dream comes true, and I hope it does, watch your fingers!

Too bad about Rosenbaum. I didn't read his columns all that often, but he was a real critic, in this age when newspapers (I won't even address the Internet) so often move people from the real-estate desk to the home interiors section to the film desk, etc.
