Obama’s Blackberry for Sale on Ebay?

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/16/us/politics/16blackberry.html

Huh, I’m not sure – stupid title.  Yes, the pundits have covered this one thoroughly enough.  I understand the need for george to remain offline and/or have emails disappear, but, I assume Obama won’t mind his emails being made public, right?  I’m not sure if any of the aforementioned pundits have mentioned this yet.

It’s anyone’s guess but I would think Obama will be keeping his more highly secured Blackberry nearby so that he can both send/receive email effective January 20th.

Goose Island Clybourn to Stay Open

http://chicagoist.com/2008/11/11/goose_island_clybourn_to_remain_ope.php

I’m not sure why the Goose Island on Clark sucks so much d!ck – but, the good news is the Goose Island Clybourn location will not be closing its doors on December 21st!

One of my favorite watering holes, I assume Goose Island was getting forced out of their location by overly inflated commercial real estate pricing.  Seeing that this market has nosedived and absolutely nobody would fill the vacant spot left by Goose Island, we can only hope the powers that be renegotiated a lease that keeps them alive and well for years to come.
