A kid just came to the door in a Detroit Lions jersey with a brown bag over his head because they’re 0-7.

The chain’s spokesman Cal Gunderson expressed concerns about the film with The New York Post, citing the film’s “graphic nudity and graphic sex” and that it was “too close to an NC-17.”
The company’s standards seem a little odd considering that the chain had no problems screening ultra-violent fare like “Saw V,” which features beheadings...

WatchCan the Blackhawks please bring back this commercial?
It’s utterly depressing to me that hockey had gone so far out of the mainstream that the Chicago Tribune has to talk about the rules of the game in its guide to becoming a Blackhawks fan now that the franchise is once again on the up-and-up.

Let me get this straight
Under the 14th Amendment, newly convicted felon Ted Stevens is no longer allowed to vote, but he is not required to resign his position of representing Alaskans in the United States Senate?
Despite being a convicted felon, he is not required to drop out of the race or resign from the Senate. If he wins re-election, he can continue to hold his seat because there is no rule barring felons from...

Palin-McCain with Brian Williams. She won’t say whether a bomber of an abortion clinic is a terrorist. She defines “elites” as anyone who thinks they are better than other people. McCain says he knows where the elites live, Washington DC and New York City. One question: what language is she speaking? her use of the english language is atrocious.
Shouldn’t Palin’s logic of...

Could Mike Ditka have derailed Obama's ascendancy? →
I would love to see this made into a larger piece picked up by a national outlet because outside of Illinois politics, no one really knows just how plausible this question is.
Jack Ryan had won the Republican primary that year, but dropped out of the race after the release of embarrassing papers from his high-profile divorce with actress Jeri Ryan. The vacancy left GOP leaders in the state...
Obama taking 'free' from Freedom of the Press
Seriously? You started October with $133 million and you’re going to charge $715 - $1,815 for a press pass to your celebration in Grant Park?
Not cool. I guess bloggers and freelance journalists like me won’t be getting any cushy spots to cover the event.
But I suppose it’s the Chicago Way.
WatchProtest all you want and be upset over the nomination of Sarah Palin, but jumping in front of her motorcade and putting your life and others at risk is beyond stupid.
Doubly so if McCain doesn’t end up elected.

Some Muslim and christian supporters of John McCain give another McCain supporter a hard time over his anti-Islamic arguments against Obama. He eventually packs up and leaves. I’m glad to see this. That’s America.
Why McCain isn't dead yet
The polls may show a big lead for Obama and the press may be writing McCain off as dead in the water, but one lady’s quote at an Obama campaign stop in North Carolina illustrates how Sarah Palin was picked to appeal to a certain type of voter:
A group of six retired women said they were mostly Democrats — but mostly undecided about how to vote. “I have to pray about it, think about...
