Extra, Extra

- Kevetta Davis, 19, a Walter Payton High grad and student at SIU, was killed in a car wreck when a driver working for VH1's Rock Of Love fell asleep at the wheel and lost control of the car.
- CBS 2 spent some time with anxious Chicago investors after Monday's bailout rejection by Congress.
- A South Side man is in custody for shooting a woman during a robbery attempt. When the woman told the man she had no money, he shot her and stole her cigarette right out of her hand.
- A man has turned himself in to face charges in connection with a 2006 murder. The skeletal remains of the victim were recently uncovered.
- Vegas odds-makers put the Cubs as the favorites to win the World Series at 3 to 1. The odds of the world ending if the Cubs manage to win the Series? Even. As a Cubs fan, I look forward to preparing for the Apocalypse.
- Speaking of the Cubs, Daley made the usual mayoral wager based on the Cubs-Dodgers series. Daley offered, among other things, Vienna Beef hot dogs and C.J. Vitnery chips. Sadly, Governor Blagojevich was not included.
- It's still not too late to order your 2008 Election Day Advent Calendar. Mmmmm: politics, locally made crafts, and chocolate. Hits the Chicagoist trifecta.

For what it's worth, we're going to do our best to get recaps up as soon as possible during the playoffs, but keep in mind, we're not chained to our laptops all day and night.
well, I am, but the rest of the staff gets to roam free with the birds and Obama-supporting squirrels...
