Note the diversity at Tribune Tower!
Great minds think alike . . .and so do very small minds.
Today, after President Trump's Tax Cut, both Chicago rags offer identical headlines warning that, like the internet, we are all in peril, doomed I tells Ya! Get to the Ramparts!
The ramparts are usually the defensive walls of castles, but in Trumpophobic America it refers to the Washington Post, newspapers that hate Trump in general, or so our later-day Henry Fonda, Tom Hanks, would have us believe.
"I would not have been able to imagine that we would be living in a country where neo-Nazis are doing torchlight parades in Charlottesville and jokes about Pocahontas are being made in front of the Navajo code talkers. And individually we have to decide when we take to the ramparts.” Tom Hanks -on not bringing the projector to the White House
You see, he has taken to the ramparts against Trump and refuses to be part of a showing of The Post at the Trump White House.
Like the Olympic snow bunny who took a Brody last week after say that she will not represent Trump in Seoul, was as good as her word. Captain Phillips will not be taking Wilson to the White House.
Here on Chicago's sandbags and barbed wire, Bruce Dold and Tom McNamee have planted their ink wells - like their master Rahm Emanuel: No Trump Here!
Voila!
Chicago Tribune - Triumphant Trump celebrates tax win — but some fear backlash
Chicago Sun Times - Triumphant Trump celebrates tax win, but some fear backlash
With one grammatical shift - the words are identical, as are the authors of said piece: Stephen Ohlemacher and Marcy Gordon | Associated Press
Cut and Paste, approved memes, pre-caste narratives and thin-gruel opines from lightweights like Neil Steinberg, Lynn Sweet, Steve Chapman, Rex Hupke and Mary Schmich are what has replaced Nick Von Hoffman, Ray Coffey. Dorothy Collins and Mike Royko, in this hick burg.
Only John Kass writes with independence of thought, wit and courage.
The rest of the ninnies are stringing tinsel for barbed wire and piling Kit Kats for sandbags! Get that helmet on McNamee! Watch for Cops, Bruce; they might be sixth col-yoom- nists!
When the shelling is over, let me know how Tom Hanks' new flicker is doing at the box office.
Got me a tax cut.
