Random Scandal Sheet for Sunday 5/15/11

What Chicago is talking about this week:

It's just a typical weekend in an urban environment. You know, the headlines are just the usual stuff -- "Cab driver shot in Evanston", "Friend drives 2 to hospital after shooting", "Woman dies day after fall down stairs in Grant Park", "Man shot in face on SW side" and "Ill. man charged with setting houseguest on fire".

You have to look pretty hard to find anything that doesn't involve slayings or stabbings or shootings (oh my!), and those aren't any happier titles: "Court orders Chicago to hire 111 black firefighters" or "No bail for Yemeni man who stormed cockpit" or "Second police officer charged with sex crimes posts bail".

My only hope for a glimmer of a feel good story: "Rain can't damper fire of Idol contender's hometown fans".

On this miserable weather day where even the Cubs won't come out to play, it might just be best to go back to bed and wait for tomorrow (or stop trolling the breaking news website for Chicago's most depressing stories ...)

ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING OVER A GAS CAN:
