Is WEEDS Burnt Out? Showtime Prez David Nevins Goes on the Record!
2012-01-12 20:16:00 Pasadena — At this morning’s Television Critics Association Press Tour Executive Session, Showtime Entertainment President David Nevins made the most of his allotted time by highlighting the many successes of his little-cabler-that-could. In fact, be it the success of HOMELAND, to his excitement surrounding the upcoming seasons of NURSE JACKIE, THE BIG C, THE BORGIAS and EPISODES, Nevins touched on virtually the entirety of his Network’s slate. With that is the notable exception of WEEDS. So what exactly does the future hold for a family that takes dysfunction to an entirely new level? And more to the point, is this the final season of the show? “Not definitely, but it’s a really possibility,” admits Nevins during a small media scrum following the end of his session. Less of a possibility as it turns out, is Nevins teasing the direction of the show, which as fans will recall ended the season with Nancy as the literal target of a sniper’s sight ...

Rating Rodriguez: How the outgoing prez ranks on key values
2011-05-11 14:00:00 CTA chief Richard Rodriguez today probably will participate in his final CTA board meeting as president. Next Monday, Rahm Emanuel will be sworn in as Chicago's new mayor, and the mayor-elect already has selected his entire "cabinet," including Forrest Claypool as the CTA president. Claypool still needs to be approved by the CTA board and city council, but those are mere formalities. So we bid adieu formally today to Rodriguez by rating his "star turn" at the CTA. On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being celestial, here's how Rich ranks on those key values printed on every Chicago Card and Chicago Card Plus. Safe: 3 starsThe bad news: Thefts and robberies were up dramatically in 2010 vs....

Violence Soaked AFL-CIO Prez Calls Palin a McCarthyite?
2010-09-04 01:03:00 -By Warner Todd Huston For his Labor Day weekend trick, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka leveled the charge of McCarthyism at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. This is a bit rich from a guy with blood on his hands -- and I don't say that figuratively, either. At a September 2 meeting sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Trumka claimed that "Palinism" was the "new McCarthyism" and warned that if she kept up her rhetoric she would be guilty of inciting her followers. "She can't use loose language that foments... that anger to hatred, or that action to violence," Trumka said. The comments were "totally consistent," Trumka said. "She has taken on a position of leadership, and whether it is rightfully...

It's Official, Henry New SEIU Prez
2010-05-10 08:55:00 -By Warner Todd Huston We've been reporting that it looked like the Service Employees International Union was going to ignore past President Andy Stern's pick of Anna Burger to be ushered in as his replacement and would instead pick Mary Kay Henry for its new president. Well, that has come to pass. It is now official that Mary Kay Henry is the new SEIU president. Henry announced that she intends to "restore relations with the American labor movement," which would seem to be a shot over Andy Stern's legacy seeing as how it was Stern that ruled the SEIU with an iron fist to the point that many smaller unions had broken off communication with him not to mention that...

Call for Sen. Prez Cullerton to Step Down
2010-04-23 04:05:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Last weekend, Senate President John Cullerton (D) got himself in a bit of hot water... or rather his son got him in hot water. As we reported earlier, sonny boy got himself pulled over for drunk driving. That wasn't the big problem, though. The big problem is that the junior sir drinksalot was driving a state owned SUV that is supposed to be used only for official state business. Yet here was the youngster flying around town, drunk twice past the legal limit, and driving a state owned vehicle. So, have you had enough of a state government that allows drunken frat boys to use state owned vehicles to do their carousing in when the...
Ill. State Senate Prez' Son in DUI Driving State Owned Vehicle
2010-04-19 23:51:00 -By Warner Todd Huston The son of Illinois State Senate President John Cullerton (D, 6th District) was arrested for drunk driving over the weekend. He had a blood alcohol level of .188, twice the legal limit of .08. The vehicle that son Garritt was driving was a state owned SUV that is supposedly only to be used for official state business. Cullerton immediately told reporters that he didn't know his son was diving around in a state owned vehicle. "A Senate vehicle assigned to the Senate President for official legislative business was used by his son without his authorization," Sen. Cullerton's office said in a written statement. "The Senate President is dissapointed that this incident occurred and takes this matter...

(Tribune story is here.)Perhaps Morton wasn't around when Chicago's skies were tinted yellowish orange in the winter from all the soft coal burned here everyone's furnace.

TCA Live Blog Day 2: CW Prez Dawn Ostroff Gets Grilled
2009-08-04 21:56:00 Like a dead man woman walking, CW President Dawn Ostroff tried her best to delay the inevitable. But alas, at the annual press tour, it’s surprisingly difficult to avoid the firing squad that is the Television Critics Association as they anxiously await their opportunity to unleash a flurry of questions, most of them revolving around the current status of Mischa Barton’s health. So after distracting the audience with shiny beautiful things (namely Elle Macphersen’s sparkly sequined jacket during THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE panel), the smoldering Robert Pattinson-esque looks of new VAMPIRE DIAIRES bad boy Paul Wesley and promo after promo after promo for the network’s slew of new shows that the CW swears — you’ll be like totally blogging, tweeting and im’ing about — it was time. Time for Ostroff to answer for her crimes against humanity (Read: EVERWOOD’s cancellation!) Okay not really (and yes, still bitter!). But here’s what she did have to...

Just how often does the CTA prez use public transit?
2009-07-23 13:00:00 Yesterday I wrote that I am fine with CTA President Richard Rodriguez choosing to spend time with his family over using the CTA for his daily commute.Rodriguez has five children under the age of 12. He works long hours. He has decided that he can spend some quality time with his oldest children in the morning while driving them to school. And Rodriguez said he still regularly takes the CTA.Now, I do think that the CTA president -- and others in top management -- should be using the CTA regularly. So I asked the CTA how often he does. Here's what I learned:Since he became president in March, Rodriguez has averaged more than 45 rides per month, said a CTA...
CTA Prez Rodriguez values family time over a CTA commute -- as he should

Prez Health Care Policy Analysis
2008-10-26 07:01:00 With 9 days left until the election, I'm actually starting to see articles that actually analyze the proposed policies of each of the presidential candidates. Imagine that? How about having an election based on differentiation of policy as opposed to personalities, or hype, or personal attacks, or anything else that you can think of.Anyway, in today's Wall Street Journal online, the following is an excerpt from an article entitled, "Obama vs McCain: It's All About Your Money." In this article, there is analysis of policy issues like economic relief, income taxes, social security. Something this blog is interested in is the issue of health care. Here is that section below:Sen. Obama proposes income-related subsidies for health insurance through a new national exchange, along with expanded access to Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program, and mandatory care for children. He would require employers that don't offer health coverage to contribute a percentage of ...
