but I often forget that not all of you have the news sources I have here. For anyone who doesn’t read or get the Chicago Tribune, let me reccomend- highly- reading the columns of John Kass<\/a> online.

Go and read, I think you’ll make his column a regular stop on your day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
