We hope by now you've seen it, but in case you haven't, here's the cover of this week's Chicago Reader, which features another of their fantastic stories exploring the parking meter debacle. Kudos, Reader kids. Kudos. You've easily topped the NY Post and the Sun-Times.

Friday, we love you. But why do you have to drag like a cat's ass in the afternoon? zzzzzzzzz...

Remember the Sun-Times awesome Blago-John Wayne photoshop cover? The New York Post has one-upped them with a story on Obama's impending inauguration and his love of Lincoln. In a story about next week's Inaugural Luncheon, which Obama is having modeled after Lincoln's favorite foods, the Post drops phrases like, "They're going to party like it's 1861!" and calls the luncheon "Abe-apalooza."

Just to make sure everyone gets it, the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which handles much of the inaugural planning, has deemed that "A New Birth of Freedom" will be the official inaugural theme. The phrase, from the Gettysburg Address, expresses Lincoln's hope that the sacrifice of those who died to preserve the nation would lead to "a new birth of freedom" for our nation. And at his swearing-in ceremony, Obama will place his hand on the same Bible that Lincoln used at his first inauguration.

Just in case you haven't seen it yet today, this. is. awesome. And it's not even Photoshop Phriday! Hey, Sun-Times - who put this cover (that's John Wayne under that Blagojevich face, btw) together? Give that person a raise. Who else could you Photoshop the Governor as? Mighty Mouse? Opie? Governor LePetomaine? Forrest Gump? A Blago v. Daley Spy vs. Spy poster? The possibilities are endless. Man, we wish we had better 'shopping skills. Alas.
