Dear Christina,

• Today's "totally not a surprise" headline: "O'Hare remains worst for on-time departures."
• In the wake of job and budget cuts, the ER at the University of Chicago Medical Center is about to get a little more selective in who it takes in.
• The man who killed himself after a police chase in L.A. last night has been identified as former Chicagoan Mustafa "Moe" Mustafa.

The Saga of Drew Peterson continues as "ex-fiancee" Christina Raines appeared before a Joliet grand jury on Thursday afternoon. The grand jury was formed in November 2007 to investigate the death of D-Pete Ex-Wife #3 Kathleen Savio and the disappearance of current wife Stacy Peterson. Last week, Peterson appeared on ABC's Nightline and the next day Raines moved out. Funny how that works. Not really sure what new insight will be gained from this, especially considering the source.

In the ongoing saga of Drew Peterson, nothing surprises us anymore. Now comes word that "ex-fiance" Christina Raines plans on talking to police about her time with Peterson. What groundbreaking information she could hold is beyond us. "He's old." "He's creepy." "He's mean." Yeah, those'll help find Stacy in no time. Meanwhile, Peterson and his attorney are putting the blame on Raine's father, Ernie, and claiming he was the mastermind behind the whole thing. At least it seems Drew has found a way to channel his anguish.

We thought we were going to make it through the week without anything cringe-inducing but unfortunately Drew Peterson had other plans. In an interview with WBBM's Steve Miller, Peterson described the extended family with fiance Christina Raines as "harmonious bliss." Peterson hasn't filed for divorce from dead missing wife Stacy yet so he hasn't set a wedding date for future ex-wife #5. When asked if Raines was confident Peterson was innocent of any wrongdoing in the death of ex-wife Kathleen Savio and the disappearance of current wife Stacy, Drew said no.
