Con's Game

Not surprisingly, the Chicago Tribune is all over the sleazy tale of Hollinger International and Conrad Black. Here's two stories from today's Trib: one on Hollinger board member Big Jim Thompson and one on Babbs "Deal" Amiel.

Meanwhile, George Fwill, the Black Hand, is pimping Gregg Easterbrook's new book. I didn't know Gregg had 25 grand to spare. Maybe Fwill can get Easterbook to advise Con and Babbs "on how to redress the imbalance many people feel between their abundance of material things and the scarcity of meaning that they feel in their lives."
