Welcome to Bizarro World

Public Official A is lecturing Illinoisans on financial prudence.

Saturday

Not always the best day for the Whig.....sometimes the day when less-than-interesting stuff gets dumped.

One writer reminds us that he's from Michigan. Sorry, don't care.

Five times five takes an entire page. Some ancient Quincy names, three advertisers, an employee. Questions: Ain't Quincy great? Man, isn't this weather something? What's your favorite show on a QNI-owned station?

Sorry, don't care.

At least there's high school sports.

Also, Matt Blunt discovers what happens to lame ducks....even his own party disregards him.

On page C7, Quincy's horrible interracial crime wave appears to have been solved. Funny how the big things everybody screamed about a while back seem to have shrunk in proportion. The blogosphere's multiplier effect, I guess.

The nuances of language

Note the connotative difference between say and claim?

This ain't a fight over the First Amendment. It's a fight over who gets to make money off the resale of photographs. It's a commercial appropriation issue.

Not a Whig issue, by the way.....that's an AP story.
