Don’t forget - tomorrow is Winter Bike to Work Day!
The lowest recorded temperature in Chicago history occurred January 20, 1985 (minus 27 degrees at O’Hare!).
You can also sign up for this year’s Bike the Drive beginning tomorrow.
& if you are downtown early in the AM, Active Transportation Alliance posted that “NBC Chicago wants you to roll by the studio window in Tribune Plaza (401 N. Michigan) tomorrow for the 6am news hour on your way to the Winter Bike to Work Day rally in Daley Plaza”
who’s biking to work tomorrow??
In the latest “From the Desk of Bob Mankoff” post, our Cartoon Editor asks - with the help of some cartoons - are sexes necessary? http://nyr.kr/wY5mX9

“Lazarus” Newt Set for Victory After K.O.’ing John King
For Gingrich, blasting away at the media is his standard routine when facing scrutiny. Anybody who has covered him knows that this is how he behaves. He did it during previous debates, although not with this kind of venom, and he did it throughout the nineteen-nineties. But King and his producers seemed stunned by Newt’s fusillade. Rather than standing up to Gingrich and pressing him about his ex-wife’s allegations, which included the affirmation that he doesn’t have the moral character to be President, King allowed him to dismiss them as unfounded (“Every personal friend in this period knows it was false”) and get in a few more shots at CNN and the rest of the “élite media” for “defending Barack Obama by attacking Republicans.”

these are pretty awesome… we just wish they had done one for ALL the Chicago hoods (and were selling them?)
Soldier of the Year 2010. That’s not the bullet, dork - that’s the brass casing that’s discharged after the firing pin creates an explosion to send the lead round (bullet) out the front of the barrel of the rifle… (civilians!)
