  • Wow, if you can't trust a fine city steward like Ald. Ed Burke to not be involved in shady dealings, who can you trust?
  • This sounds like a plot from an episode of Rescue Me -- a 23rd Battalion Chief on the South Side is being investigated after he allegedly slept through a fire.
  • And this sounds ripped from Nip/Tuck -- car dealer and ubiquitous TV ad presence Bob ROOOHRman is suing a plastic surgeon for "stealing" his wife. Life imitates FX.
  • Ald. Manny Flores wants to know, hey, can we maybe use some of the TIF slush fund to balance the city budget?
  • The Chicago budget, however, isn't dire enough that the city can't spread some wealth around to the arts community -- 277 organizations are getting a piece of $1 million in grants.
  • For those of you who've been lying awake at night wondering whatever happened to former Tribune CEO Dennis FitzSimmons, you'll be happy to know he's doing A-OK.
