Tom Skilling of WGN-TV Chicago is the best TV weatherman in America, all classes and probably all-time. He has the misfortune to be the brother of Jeff Skilling, of Enron infamy, who has just been convicted of everything but aggravated sidewalk-spitting and a count or two of insider trading. It’s an interesting morality play of two brothers, products of the same genetics and environment and all that, both very talented guys, one of whom used his abilities for Good and the other…not so much. Story, breaking, here at the Chicago Tribune. Who also own WGN TV, the Cubs, and a lot of other things, but that’s a rant for another time.

My condolences, Tom. Grandma Millie I’m sure will be sending Jeff some thoughts of her own.
