Hey, Fox! STEPHEN Douglas and FREDERICK Douglass were two very VERY different people.

Things I love about summer in Chicago
Posted in Urbanal, tagged glacier national park, good times, good weather, summer in chicago, travel, vegetarian hot dogs, working bikes on April 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m taking a little brain break from work to wax poetic about this summer, which I feel is going to perhaps be the best EVAR. Summer in Chicago is usually a thing of great beauty and fun because we Midwesterners learn to treasure what little good weather we get. By that logic, since last winter [...]
We Are Family

After watching this clip (via Feministing), I have three questions:
1. Which is a bigger affront to our sense of right and wrong: Tyra Banks’ Bangs or a father who drops his daughter off at the brothel for work and hands her a giant bottle of lotion [Uggs thinks it was lube!]?
2. Is the father’s [...]
Woohoo CTA!

Just a quick blurb via the CTA Tattler:
New York’s loss is Chicago’s gain — Chicago will get $153 million in federal funds for congestion-relief efforts. Those funds had been earmarked for New York until it missed a deadline to apply.
The congestion-relief efforts are two-pronged: a network of express bus routes, and a peak-period pricing system [...]

Or maybe she’s just an old lady… but a feisty one! I am always in the market to adopt new grandfolk.

Sarah van Gelder: How to Come Out of the Food Crisis
A thoughtful roundup of the burgeoning food crisis. I especially like van Gelder’s twist on the Shock Doctrine:
“Instead, we need to take a page from Naomi Klein’s new book, The Shock Doctrine. Her book shows that disasters–natural and human made–often

Welcome to Group Think–a new feature on OurPrerogative! Each week we’ll be taking some bit of pop culture gristle and subjecting it to the stern linguistic stylings of the OP crew.
Our first serving of this sure-to-be phenomenal feature is a doozy, and comes to us via Feministing/Julia Serano: It’s a commercial for a hair removal [...]

Hospitals to Patients: Pay Us Now, or We Won’t Treat You

No, seriously, Yelle, please talk to my hand (or any other body part for that matter) because I totes have a crush on you.
Not to make you displaced Chicago-lovers even more depressed, but for anyone else who feels similarly about Yelle (and is in Chicago), we can go and see her tomorrow night at [...]
