The first day of the Obama Administration

Life goes on:

• The Chicago Tribune says farewell to Kerry Wood, who has left the Cubs;

• Meanwhile, the Cubs have gotten into a shouting match with priest who blessed the dugout to remove the Curse of the Billy Goat (it didn't work);

• Twenty six people have filed papers to run for Rahm Emmanuel's House seat, primary to be held March 3rd; and

• Almost as exciting as yesterday's events, Lost returns tonight.

Now I'm going back to the NPR story about all the stuff we're not shipping from our major ports.
