It's just the thing to do these days: the Sun-Times Media Group, which owns the Chicago Sun-Times and dozens of smaller community papers, filed for bankruptcy this morning. Thanks, Conrad Black!

Hero Illinois Senator Roland Burris apparently did a little bit of lying under oath about how Rod Blagojevich's brother got him to try to raise some money for Blago, and suddenly no one likes him anymore!

Here's what makes Rod Blagojevich such an evil genius: after being removed from office unanimously, he comes out onto his front porch and tells the media that he's a hero.

Rod Blagojevich's hilarious media tour has succeeded! Sure, he'll still be kicked out of office tomorrow, but now everyone in America loves him!

Here's what you saw if you were watching Rod Blagojevich's press conference on one of the channels where they weren't interrupting him. It's an amazing defense of... cattle rustling?

The Illinois House impeached Governor Rod Blagojevich today, hooray! The lawmakers voted 114-1 to impeach, after denouncing him for an hour or so.

Chicago real estate mogul Steven Good, head of the "largest real estate auction company in the nation," killed himself with a gun yesterday. He did deals with Trump. His motivation is a mystery:

Blago faces impeachment! The embattled Illinois governor is about to become even embattleder, as the Illinois House rushes back to work (next week).

Rod Blagojevich just had an awesome press conference announcing his selection of Roland Burris to the US Senate. Now no one knows what will happen.

Hahahaha criminal Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has exercised his right to make an appointment to the US Senate.

Yaay! It's time for Barack Obama's report on the internal investigation into the Blago mess!

Later this afternoon, Barack Obama's office will release its report on his staff's contacts with disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Then they will all skip town.

The bloody and river-scorching New Yorko-Clevelo War has finally ended. And, just as so many wars before it have been, the whole unpleasantness was resolved with the meting out of free threatre tickets.

Guys, the Robin Givhan piece on Rod Blagojevich is here! She writes about his hilarious hair!

Michael Sneed, Chicago's own Liz Smith, isn't letting the fact that she was revealed to be the preferred press mouthpiece of disgraced Guv Blagojevich stop her from continuing to weigh in.

A week into the scandal, this question's catching on: exactly how criminal was Rod Blagojevich's behavior? Or was it just tacky?

So Barack Obama's transition team finished its official report on the Blago scandal and it turns out that no one did anything wrong, hooray!

Change.gov has a neat page called Your Seat at The Table, which tracks Obama transition meetings posts documents, in the interest of full transparency. But oddly, there are no meetings regarding Obama's Senate seat!

Remember how you had to move as a kid and you totally promised to keep in touch with your friends, but you didn't? Barack Obama's Chicago buddies worry they're going to be those friends.
