The Daily Parker

The following appeared in my inbox while I was in the air. I'll read them later:

• I started reading Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation on my flight. I'm already 3/4 done. (Thank you to my co-worker MK for the loaner.)
• Andrew Sullivan thinks it was a big mistake to sue the no-gay-wedding-cake baker. I agree, for mostly the same reasons as he.
• Ted Genoways outlines some of the problem the east-cost press has in covering the rural Midwest.
• Joe Cahill lists the 5 best and 5 worst CEOs in Chicago.
• Illinois' individual income-tax rate went from 3.75% to 4.95% on July 1st. So the state is just going to assess everyone 4.35% for the year. OK, that's simpler.
• Psychologist Bella DePaulo studies lying, and she ain't never seen anything like the President.

I'll probably read them after my body wakes me up at 6am local time tomorrow. The westbound time change is so much easier than eastbound, but it's still hard to sleep in.
