After John Greenfield and John Kass had major health scares this year, Greenfield declares a truce, in musical form.

Ex-Tribune columnist @John_Kass, coined the Chicago term “Dibs,” reserving a car parking spot with junk. We both survived health crises (bike crash coma / quadruple bypass) in 2023. We’ve sparred in the past. Today I dedicated Urban Spaceman’s song “Merry Dibbsmas” to him. 🚙❄️✌️

@MysteriesOLife @October1859 @EricZorn In fairness, he was prominently featured on P.2, and probably got the most clicks online, even if many of those were hate-clicks.

But wouldn’t it be foolish for ex deputy mayor John O’Malley to publicly discuss packing heat on the CTA on John Kass' podcast if it’s illegal for O'Malley to do so?
A veteran Chicago news reporter responded, “O’Malley is a pretty dumb guy.”

Very flattered that John Kass has mentioned us in four different blog posts and podcast appearances in the past week.

John Greenfield@greenfieldjohn
From the latest of FOUR blog posts and podcast appearances *in the past week* by conservative Chicago and Illinois political pundit @John_Kass fuming about my bike ride to his current hometown of St. John, Indiana, to highlight the fact Kass can't even vote in our state.

Unlike John Kass, when Rex Huppke tweets about anarchy it's (intentionally) funny.

Another good punk band name from Kass: City of Anarchy.
And will Lori Lightfoot please stop almost orphaning people's children?

I gotta hand it to Kasso, he's good at coming coming up with names for punk bands.

.@RexHuppke looks at the cynicism and absurdity involved in support for Rahm Emanuel's nomination as ambassador of Japan. (See, we don't just bash Republicans here.)

@October1859 @KassWatch Columnists can be reporters too. There's no law against columnists checking their facts and going out and interviewing people so they know what they're writing about.

Are we sure this quote wasn't from John *Quincy* Adams?

This Lauren Boebert tweet in which she confuses John Adams with Samuel Adams has been up nearly 4 hours. But Boebert hasn’t deleted it because she creates her own reality. She’ll probably file a bill requiring schools to teach that Sam and John are the same person.

@October1859 @KassWatch Back when I edited John Kass, he stated something as fact and I asked: "Where did you get this?"
"The internet," he said.
That pissed me off. "The internet" might be WaPo or it might be a guy in his skivvies making up shit in his mom's basement.
Journalists know the difference.

Here's a Chicago Tribune column by @John_Kass from 2001 in which Donald Rumsfeld claims Afghanistan won't become a quagmire. Kass swallows it whole and asks for seconds. Quite embarrassing for Kass, who is even more of a right-wing propagandist now. chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-20…

Welp, good to see that the head of the Chicago police union is making super-offensive, totally bats--- comparisons between vaccine mandates and Nazi medical experiments. 😬

The misinformation from Jacobson:
- Implying children are a "low risk group" when kids recently made up 15% of new cases, with growing numbers of hospitalizations.
- Questioning the well-documented fact that masks help prevent the spread of the disease.

What was the misinformation, @JordanAbudayyeh? You are a hack for a failing governor in a failing state. Your boss is falling apart because he has no clue how to lead. Today was sad and desperate for you and Gov. Pritzker.

After Kass BFF Amy Jacobson from @MorningAnswer irresponsibly implied at a J.B. Pritzker press conference there's little risk of kids getting COVID, Pritzker spokesperson @JordanAbudayyeh called her a "supposed reporter" spreading "misinformation." 🔥
