I haven't been able to purchase a print copy of the Chicago Sun-Times all week around here. Everyone is always sold out. Even early in the morning. Even on Thursday when money starts getting short for people. I drove to a dozen different places this morning and had no luck. This is not normal. Who was the Republican who said no one cares about the CIA case last week?

2. Newspapers?
They still make those things? How quaint! j/k

I haven't noticed one way or the other, though.

3. Several times my SO's morning paper HAS been under the bushes
As I get up at 4:30 I usually go out and get it for her so it's on the table with her breakfast when she comes downstairs.

5. Two words....

White Sox.

Actually in McHenry county all of the papers have been hard to come by this week. I suspect that will change tomorrow.

Cheers!
