A woman has sued a Spanish-language radio station in Chicago,
claiming it refused to give her the Corvette she won in a 2005 contest because she is undocumented.
Maribel Nava Alvarez, 22, said she was never told she needed to be a U.S. citizen or legal resident to win the car in a raffle sponsored by WLEY-FM.
In a news release, the radio station said the law requires it to get a valid Social Security number or tax identification number from anyone who wins prizes worth more than $500.

Top 5 Things You Would Know About Jeff if You Paid Attention
As promised I will make a vain attempt at imparting wisdom in the form of a list.
5. Jeff spends all of his time in small spaces, both at work and at home. According to the Coen brothers this might be indicative of him being an academic.
4. Jeff has a predisposition for soup can antennas. I really don’t get that.
3. Jeff was a dressmaker for J. Edgar Hoover. His designs were really quite flattering, even on such an unconventional figure.
2. Jeff has turned his home into a giant electro-magnet to keep us all safe from hijacked planes.
1. Jeff is a Jedi Master. At least that’s what he keeps telling me. Usually when I’m about to hit him with something heavy. Like the state of Nuclear Weapons in the world.
Tune in tomorrow for more scintilating facts about Jeff, most importantly, what he was up to.
