Kathleen Madigan took up comedy as a way to make money until she landed a better day job. Waiting tables and working as a journalist in St. Louis, Madigan started telling jokes for a living in her mid-20s. Now, two decades later, she looks back in disbelief at her successful comedy career. "I feel like I've skated through 20 years," Madigan said in a recent phone interview. She comes to the Recher Theatre for two shows tomorrow night. "I keep waiting for somebody to go, `OK, we've found out, and you have to get a real job now," she said.

Baltimore police and prosecutors have acknowledged charging an innocent teenager in the August 2008 shooting and robbery of a customer inside a Northeast Baltimore Chinese carryout - a crime that drew outrage from Mayor Sheila Dixon after surveillance video showed two girls laughing during the holdup and customers stepping over the victim to get food. Seven months after bringing indictments in the case, city prosecutors dropped the charges against one of the two suspects, Darren Brown, 17, of the 3300 block of Ellerslie Ave. Last week, they charged the second suspect's cousin, Kevin Johnson, 15, of the 2700 block of Tivoly Ave., as an adult in the crime.

Two days ago, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said she had evidence a company called Edison Mission Energy continued a suspicious pattern of wholesale electricity trading long after it claimed to have stopped. Why does this matter to Maryland? Edison Mission sells electricity to the PJM grid, which stretches from the East Coast to Illinois. Potential price manipulation by Edison Mission or any other electricity producer in a deregulated marketplace can reap hundreds of millions in improper profits and raise prices for everybody who gets their power off the grid.

Recently I wrote that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan accused Edison Mission Energy of perpetuating suspicious electricity trading patterns on the Mid-Atlantic grid - patterns that Edison had told regulators it ceased in April 2006. Combing through data kept by PJM Interconnection, which manages the grid for Maryland and a dozen other states, Madigan and consultant Robert McCullough identified plants they said were Edison's that seemed to be withholding power from the market in a possible attempt to drive up prices.

Dennis J. FitzSimons, the chairman and chief executive officer of The Sun's parent company, was visibly relieved Monday when he told 20,000 Tribune employees that a protracted search for a buyer for the company had finally ended.
