On Lebanon: President Clinton is calling for a cease-fire, too, and says Israel has gone too far. That is all the news for now, but needless to say, I agree with the President.

Here in Chicago, we’ve got big, national news, and that’s a “Big Box” Law aimed at Wal-Mart, specifically, but that affects other companies like Target, too. I don’t have much love for Wal-Mart, but I absolutely despise the idea of passing a law aimed at forcing a certain type of store to pay a certain wage. If you want a store in Chicago to have a certain minimum wage, pass a new minimum wage law.

That’s it for now.
