Cook County inmates competed in an online chess challenge against prisoners in Russia this week. Predictably, the Russians dominated. The U.S. felons did capture a respectable five out of nineteen matches, however. U.S.A.!!! According to the Sun-Times, the contest was suggested by former world champion Anatoly Karpov. He toured the Cook County facilities last [...]
Check out Brendan’s latest hip hop review for Illinois entertainer here. ATLiens landed at Park West!
Critics man…critics never got nothin’ nice to say… Hey it’s Brendan and here is a link to my first concert review, as discussed on the M&B show. I made a few rookie mistakes.

by Brendan Greeley I’d never been in a conference room quite like that. It was on the 54th floor of the building at 330 N. LaSalle. The main offices of GTCR showcased more marble than the Taj Mahal. I guess that’s the kind of presentation you need to have when your company manages $8 [...]
A blog by Walter the Dog Inciting (or Exciting) Excellence I guess you could call me an excitable guy. It’s just my nature. Matt tries his darndest to hold me back when someone comes to our door. It’s in vain, however. I always find a way to break his tackle and give the proper greeting [...]
