I guess the Suntimes is handing out columns to people who really can't write. First, Mac and now this--

http://www.chicagolandradioandmedia.com/

"Mike North and Dan Jiggetts will debut their ''I'm Right! I'm Right!'' column in Friday's Sun-Times. For many Fridays to come. It figures to be a point-counterpoint feature, much like their forthcoming Comcast SportsNet ''Monsters in the Morning'' show (with NextStep Medical Staffing the title sponsor) beginning Jan. 12 might be. Not sure how the decibel level translates to print. Maybe LIKE THIS, PERHAPS!?!! "

North columns will be a little about sports, mostly about how he got screwed at the score and dontfademe.com. Suntimes have truly scrapped the bottom of the barrel on this one, I am ok with mac, but North, I wonder if he has enought crayons for a column.

Ok. So this is gonna be a manufactured column where Jiggs takes one side and Pappy takes the other. Got it. Should be fun to see Pappy write although he'll have Jen or Bebe do it. I hope Jiggs writes like he talks. First column...

Pappy: If I'm walkin' down da street and see 5 blacks comming towards me I'm crossin' da street. What do ya tink of that Jiggs my ole pal?

Jiggs: Hmmmm. I disagree with that Pappy. Nothin' to fear. We're all God's children. Hmmmm.

Pappy: I'ze hear what you is sayin' Jiggs. I'm not sayin' I'm just sayin'.

Jiggs: Not the way to do it Mikey. You'll be safe my friend. Just say hello to the fellas as they pass. No problem.

Pappy: Ok Jiggs. Hows 'bout a compromise? I'll stay on the same side but walk fast. I'ze put my hand down my pants actin' like I'ze gots a gun. Dare. We can all get along.

Jiggs: Hmmmm.

Pappy and Jiggs will appear every Friday, in the Sun-Times, with more riveting debates.

I have to agree. North is just following Mac in whatever Mac tries.

Mac writes a book? North all of a sudden is writing a book.

Mac writes a column? North all of a sudden knows how to write.

Mac at least has a brain to talk about sports. North writes about 2 sentences about sports a month.

I give it 3 weeks tops before 90% of the column is about DFM, him being screwed, the Sun Times will sell more if it had billboards.

The other 10% will be Jiggs trying to shove sports into the column somewhere.

Well, seeing as the headline on the Sun-Times yesterday was about how some Chaz or Wayne Stylie wanted to take a "hot chick" to the Obama rally in exchange for dinner, I'd say this column fits in perfectly. They should just shut the paper down at this point

The suntimes just should change their name to the national enquirer.
