Less than 15 people want to attend the virtual U of I. A spokesman says, ""It is important for people not to focus on the doggone numbers for these initial enrollments. The key is that it exists now." Aim high guys!
Seriously, every vote counts, no matter whether you're 18 or 114. Bet she's voting for Obama.
Erm, remember yesterday's Lake Michigan is shrinking story? Uh ... now it's not shrinking.

Damn, I want my degree. Can i get in there if i have the money? I had like a year left of college but i failed out.
Our writing 5 show had monster trucks and grammar jokes...
Top that, Margaret. Top that, indeed.
Granted, Chicagoist has its share of stinkers posted once in a while, but this is one of the most jackassed posts I've seen in a long time. Way to sensationalize stories without any sense of context or, say, relevant facts, Tankboy, re: the U of I online enterprise and the Lake Michigan levels. Useless. Good example of abbreviating a story to meaninglessness.
Way to pay attention, DaviCon1.
Erm, Extra Extra is supposed to be an abbreviated round-up of stories we didn't cover. That's why we include links.
However, thanks for the feedback!
Tankboy, an abbreviated round-up is fine, but don't you think, just a little bit, that your choice of comments like "Aim high guys!" and "Uh . . . now it's not shrinking" in the process of abbreviating adds an editorialized spin that suggests that either you didn't really read the stories that you're linking to or, worse, didn't understand them? Did it turn out that the lake had simply misplaced the 13 inches lost in the last year and it turned up somewhere? No, it really has shrunk. Etc., etc.
And what's with "erm" and "uh" all the time? Makes me feel like I'm reading an instant message from a high schooler.
