Ah balls. I typed too fast. Time to die of shame.

I’m a journalist. If you the answer, please tell me.

I’m in favor of better gun laws AND better mental-health resources, but putting all that aside for the moment, how sad it is we live in this world.

I hate this false equivalency. At first, it looks innocuous — “hey, I get to be free to express myself!” And people fall for it, even smart ones. Thing is, though, it’s a little like the Nazis saying “You’re taking away my right to want to put the Jews in camps!” The right to free expression doesn’t cover…

Wrigleyville-ish. I can see the Vic. Say no more.

Saw this last night. It confused us all. We thought that it meant the story was well before A New Hope, because we figured Han had worked for Jabba for a while before Luke and Ben meet him.

I just stopped watching. I didn’t stop drinking.

Yup. And I don’t even smoke.

Only 3 more years to go, maybe even 7! I don’t count on impeachment, sadly, even if the Dems take the midterms. Even if he is impeached, it will be hard to get the conviction, no matter what Mueller does. And this country is just stupid enough to re-elect him.

No Simpson’s reference? C’mon.

Oh I was. Just a different kind of pins than when it’s 2-1 and a team is hanging on for dear life.

It is possible to enjoy the drama of a 2-1 game where everyone is on pins and needles and still enjoy shootouts like this. Or am I weird for liking both types of game?

Hockey. That may sound weird, but even though I grew outside Chicago during a time that the Hawks were decent (‘80s), I’d never gotten into the sport because I never learned how to skate. Come 1992 and the Olympics, and I get assigned hockey as my winter sport. I learned all about the difference between NHL and…

That’s because they’re defending guns. That’s where the hypocrisy is coming from

I am whiter than white milk and we went to Chuck’s during my childhood. Not sure if my parent friends take their kids there, if they do they don’t mention it to me.

As a Chicagoan, I loved and hated this sketch. I loved the send-up of our improv scene and the return to Fey’s roots (I also learned recently that Luke Null was living here before the call to SNL). But the “people aren’t pretty” joke bothered me. Not out of civic pride or thin skin, but because it’s not true, of…

Yeah sorry no. Being a beat writer doesn’t mean you have to go soft on the team or stop being investigative. It’s a tough balance — being around the team each day makes some guys soft I’m sure, but you’re still a reporter, not PR. You still have to cover the team, and that occasionally means writing a negative opinion…

I’ve been known to cook my eggs in bacon grease while the bacon cools. Saves me a pan. Downside is splatters and it may be way less healthy than butter.

I’ve wasted so much time on sports, I type as I watch a hockey game between two teams I don’t care about.

I, too, worked in a mall. Somewhere in New Jersey. This one d-bag manager at one store liked to sleep with underage girls in uncomfortable places. There were two slackers we’d always see around the store, as well as these two stoners. One of them talked a lot, the other barely spoke.
