'Don't throw Burris into the Tiber' - and other items
Some quick-hit items on a cold morning:
-- Though you'd like to throw Roland 'Trail Blazer' Burris into the Tiber, he doesn't deserve it -- unless his cheesy "tombstone" is a disqualification. He's basically etched his resume on the stones. The references to his family are pushed to the side. ... Other "tombstone" shots here. A non-enthralled Chicagoan here. ... Photo via Sun-Times.
-- Mumbles Jr. finds the time to moonlight for Suffolk Construction. At least his effective third job won't count toward his early-retirement pension. The overtime pay in between is another matter.
-- Outraged Liberal recaps the latest in the Sal saga. He'll probably be reelected as speaker. There are too many dead-body skeletons in the legislative-sponsor closets of rivals. Might as well go with the legislative sponsor you know.

Here’s Jags’ coaching history starting from the beginning: Wisconsin-Whitewater, Northern Illinois, LSU, East Carolina, BC, Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay again and finally BC again. And he’s only 45.But it's hard to feel too sorry for Boston College. They hired a guy they knew averaged less than three years with any given employer since college.
