I woke up yesterday morning filled with dread over the prospect of four more years of Mayor Rahm—to go along with Governor Rauner—when I found a little sunshine on, of all things, the front page of the Chicago Tribune.

On the other hand, he’s not there yet, even though he’s spent ungodly sums of money on television commercials that are running almost as frequently as reruns of The Simpsons.

But if they’re struggling over which of his opponents to vote for, we get to do it all again on April 7.

Not exactly a banner day in the history of white people.

The north side gets special enrollment high schools. And the south and west sides get a visit from Magic Johnson.
