Columns and things.

In today's Tribune column, I'm stealing Stevie Wonder's vibe: BAYLOR: Livin’ for the city.

Over at the Evening News, Debbie Harbeson is busy calling out Dave Matthews (but ever so gently): HARBESON: Let’s learn together, Mr. Matthews.

You'll recall that we already dealt with the GOP head's curiously combative column in defense of his party's legacy: G.O.P. chairman goes nutzoid over columnist's consideration of Abraham Lincoln.

Harbeson is firm and conciliatory, but she lands a solid punch with this paragraph:

I don’t know a lot about Mr. Matthews. The only thing I know — besides the fact that he can get pretty darned disgusted with me — is that he’s also the local chairman of a major political party. Now, if I were a total cynic, I would probably just take notice of the obvious connections that brings to my points and leave it at that.

Ouch!
