Chicago Daily Observer

The Chicago Tribune and The Washington Post have articles today about the official handover of power in Cuba from Fidel Castro to his brother Raul (Raul Castro actually took the helm on a “temporary” basis in 2006).

Ah, it all sounds so peaceful and democratic, doesn’t it? Reading this, you’d almost think there was a choice.

Be sure to tune in tonight, Sunday February 24 to AM-890 at 8PM for Tom Roeser’s shootout.

Tonight’s guests are Sandi Jackson, alderman for the 7th ward in Chicago and wife of US-Rep Jesse Jackson Jr; and our own John Powers, President of the Chicago Daily Observer. Topics include economic development, taxation, zoning, and city politics.

You call-in’s to 1–312-591–8900 are welcome.
