- A bevy of local politicians, including attorney general Lisa Madigan, joined the growing call for Blagojevich to either resign or be removed from his position as governor.
- If you feel left out because Blago didn't offer you the vacant Senate seat, then now's your chance to scoop it up on eBay.
- The Trib explores the implications of perhaps the most underrated part of the fed's complaint against Blago: his attempt to extort and tamper with the Trib's editorial board.
- Meanwhile, Zorn challenges you to sum up the events of today in one word. Our entry would be unprintable in the Trib. Sorry, Eric.
- In today's "Non-Blago Controversial Figures" news, Rev. Wright is embattled in a war of words with...wait, what? The View's Elisabeth Hasselback? We get distracted for a few hours by our rotten governor and the whole world goes apeshit?
- While Patty Blagojevich may not think much of the Cubs, the team continues to pursue San Diego ace Jake Peavy.

I love you, Ebert.
