This week’s biggest gainers:
1
Lawyer Mother
An unnamed Northwestern University Law Schooler went into labor while taking the bar exam, finished the test, then walked across the street to a hospital and gave birth. Perhaps she’ll go into labor law?
2
Rahm Emanuel
Pledged to plug the budget gap without new taxes.
3
Snoop Dogg
The Doggfather is expanding his youth football league to the Windy City in the hopes of muzzling teen violence.
4
Richard M. Daley
Remember him? As the White Sox announced the August 3 game against the Yankees was “Mayor Daley Day,” a new Humboldt Park public library branch will also bear his name.
5
Frank Thomas
The retired Sox slugger? Statuesque.
This week’s biggest losers:
1
Joe Walsh
The Congressman Tea Partier is being sued for not paying $117,000 in child support for his three kids. Guess there was “no compromise” between him and his ex-wife, Laura, either.
2
Rahm Emanuel
Um, that gap will be $635.7 million.
3
John Hall
The Goose Island founder and CEO is moving the production of Chicago beer 312 to New York. Pour me a 212?
4
Christine Johnson
The head of the Kendall County Animal Control facility admitted to euthanizing the wrong bull mastiff while putting “Moose” up for adoption, a dog which has bitten at least three people. She did not say anything about letting dead dogs lie.
5
Olin Kreutz
Waffled on a $4 million renewal offer from the Bears, so they replaced the veteran team leader.
