Karen Lewis<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cContrary to an unfortunate slip of a mouse, I am not dead!\u201d declared Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis<\/strong> after the Sun-Times<\/a> posted her premature obituary online Sunday. Sun-Times editor-in-chief\u00a0Chris Fusco<\/strong> apologized for the embarrassing snafu, attributing it to \u201can error involving our online publishing system.\u201d It\u2019s not without precedent: In 1989, print editions of the Chicago Tribune ran a full obituary of Vito Marzullo,<\/strong> the former Chicago alderman, while he was still very much alive. Marzullo died the following year.<\/p>\n

Radio Broadcasters of Chicagoland<\/p><\/div>\n

More than 40 Chicago area radio stations will simulcast a one-minute promotion for radio advertising at 4:29 p.m. today. It\u2019s the latest joint effort of Radio Broadcasters of Chicagoland<\/a> to sing the praises of their medium.

Monday\u2019s best comment: <\/a>Mark Edwards Edelstein:<\/strong> Oprah has done a lot, and she really is a stable genius. But I think she's genius enough to know to leave politics to the politicians. It wouldn't surprise me if she backed someone or otherwise supported them in the next presidential election, and her influence would certainly be felt. She, and a handful of other Americans have the power to support someone who shares their values and help them get elected without having to become the next celebrity president.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
