Goes Unpunished!
Because Monz is munificent, we're only suspending the Food Editor (FE) for two weeks (without pay) for Friday's faux paux.
In that same spirit of munifience, this evening the editors attempted to attend the last of four "commnity meetings" scheduled by the Chicago Transit Authority to alert them to a growing problem on CTA. We call it "benzene in the back." You see, when the metal plates that cover the bus moter come loose, exhaust enters into the back cabin of the bus. This contains dangerous levels of benzene. Yet as the CTA's fleet becomes older and the system continues to fall apart, as documented by today's NY Times, the problem only gets worse. Well, the CTA folks would have none of it. "That's not on the agenda!" The editors beseached their bretheren and sisteren of the media, approaching reporters from 3 of Chicago's 5 local tv news broadcasts. "Pat pat, flop flop, drive yourself away!" they said.
Oh well. At least Monz had a very special lunch of 4 steak tacos from Huitzuquena, and some guac & chips.
