Chicago salutes you, Western New York. These are horrific images. Godspeed.

On Saturday, Not-So-Cool Pope denounced euthanasia (in light of Brittany Maynard's death), abortion, in vitro fertilization, and embryonic stem cell research as "a sin against the creator, against God the creator," which in spite of all his recent groundbreaking statements is still incredibly disheartening. Pope, why…

Right? I mean if we take the 10,000 hours of practice rule into consideration, I could very well believe that Paris learned a thing or two from being in trendy clubs that cater to the rich and spoiled, day in and day out. After all, she was the quintessential Target Client for many of those businesses. She knows what…

Or, as I like to call them, "The Midwestern Hipster".

This is really interesting. I lived in Montgomery County, briefly, as a kid. Having come from a predominantly Christian-area, I was ecstatic when I saw all the days off from school because of the Jewish holidays. Most of the students in my school were Jewish, but I would say the second largest group was Middle…

I've seen more butts this year than in my entire life.

I'm seeing her on Friday at the Chicago Humanities Festival and I'll have to use every ounce of will power not to yell out, "You go, girl!"

What did they complain about? I heard people being picky about Deirdre's anecdote of realizing that one of her clients was innocent when he couldn't answer where he was in relation to the crime scene, but I think people misinterpreted that. The way I took it was that you can't find new information on a crime if you…

I don't know what to think! Maybe...? I don't think like I know enough about any of these girls other than the fact that they seem to be lurking in the shadows.

Some 15 years after deciding that there was no way I was ever going to go to Law School, sorry dad, Dierdre made me think, "Oh, that sounds like a really fulfilling life."

Meeeeee! Who do you think did it? I go back and forth between suspecting Jay or the mysterious Don, and then worrying I'm getting duped by Anand's charm. Aaaaaaargh.

Interesting. I call dicks "Glenn Beck."

Your step-dad sounds amazing. I love a man with a good sense of fashion.

I hated 95% of wedding planning but dress shopping was not one of them. I actually loooooved it. Reasons why I don't think my experience was painful:

"I am not sure why they would not wait for the evening to pray and then consummate God's marriage"

Hot Doug's last week was a straight-up Gilmore Girls episode.

Or how that indicates he'll be less corrupt...um, ok.

Dude, I feel your pain. I already feel like Chicago is a blue Oasis in a terrifyingly red part of the country, and this has me really worried about the future of our city and state. Yes, I know, Madigan is the guy who actually runs Illinois (I don't know if that's any real consolation) and the Democrats pretty much…

I've never felt more flyover state than when I saw Rauner being projected as the winner in IL.
