Bush. The Chicago Tribune (bless its heart) has never endorsed a democrat for presdent, so its endorsement of Obama must have come with considerable institutional pain - like Plato's residents of that famous cave, the turning to face a new reality hurts. Have been trying to figure out how to engage my journalism students in the reading and analysis as well as writing - and your "kick-a*s" assignment is just the ticket.
