John Kass

I am a huge fan of John Kass, the Tribune's page two columnist. Kass is funny, doesn't mince his words, and while I think he leans to the right politically, he's equal opprtunity in bashing political corruption as well as stupidity. He's definitely been a thorn in Richie Daley's side, which is a good thing given the fact that Da Mahre believes he's a teflon politician. Kass essentially "replaced" Mike Royko, the legendary Chicago columnist who died on the job, and wrote the scathing "Boss" about the original Mayor Daley. I think we could use a few more like Kass and Royko...

The link is to Kass' article from today's Tribune, which is much more saccharine than normal, I post the link so that you can find Mr. Kass in the future, if you're not familiar with his writing.
