Lovin' his Liz

In the ancient Chicago Reader tradition of "Bob Watch," keeping tabs on involuntarily retired Chicago Tribune columnist Bob Greene and "Siskel Watch," on the many factual errors made by late televisualist Gene Siskel, a blogger's taken up his nightstick to regularly whack at Reader writer Liz Armstrong's "Chicago Antisocial" column: Everyone I know in the city complains about Liz Armstrong, but they still read her: to see if they are in her column, or the party they were just at, because they need something to read on the can, because they enjoy making fun of her (it's simple AND fun), or, like me, because they can't stop. From this point on, I will read her column so that they don't have to...but they probably will anyway... It seems like the only reason someone is mentioned in the column is to raise up all that is Liz, who, is herself all that is Bohemia. Outside of names dropped from Valhalla like hipster manna, people exist only to be inferior.
