Responsibility

So, I had a tryst with a married man. I thought better of it eventually and ended it, but his wife still found out. And recently, she wrote me an email. I don't know his wife at all. What is my responsibility here? Do I write her back? Should I stay the f**k out of it (even though clearly I'm already involved)? - Conflicted Ex-mistress Stay out of it.

Set to a heart-wrenching piano score like the one in the "What if the Cubs won it" commercial Playstation released this week, a new spoof from one Chicago network reminds sports fans that the Sox really did get the championship treatment in 2005. In a video posted as a counterpoint to Playstation 3's "MLB 12: The Show" TV spot - which features a hypothetical Cubs World Series victory sweeping Chicago - CSN took its own spin. Instead of trumpeting the video game's tagline "So real, it's unreal," the cable sports network hits back with "So real, it actually...

A horrific dog attack that left a jogger critically injured this week has brought to light a familiar debate over laws governing animals and their owners.

A bystander came to beat the dogs off with a bat, and police fatally shot the animals when officers arrived to the scene. Finley remained in critical condition Wednesday night at Stroger Hospital. The incident has reignited conflict between Chicago dog owners who take care of their pets and residents who fear attacks...

From learning to team up with fellow Super Heroes (including The Avengers), to fighting baddies from across the Marvel Universe, to remembering to pick up groceries for Aunt May, Spidey thought he had things all webbed up. In Season 2, his world is...

Let's have a little talk, Chicago. There was a definable lack of enthusiasm in Chicago voters as the GOP presidential primary came to our state.  Went I went to go vote, rushing because I just gotten in from the airport on a trip, there was NO ONE in my polling station in Lakeview.  It was completely dead-- you could hear a pin drop.  Perhaps it's because in the Illinois primary vote, only 308,063 of 1,288,293 registered voters bothered to...
