Liberal Socialists run Chicago, and soon no else but Liberal Socialists will be able to live there.

Resurrect Bugsey Moran, please!

How long until Valentine's Day?

In April, Chicago became the first U.S. city to outlaw the sale of foie gras, a goose liver delicacy that is decried by animal-rights activists because it is created by force-feeding birds to fatten up their livers.

Will the city prosecute if a citizen imports some through the post office (by mail) or by car (buys it in another city)?

Is possession criminalized or just sale?

[Chi-townChief]

And I believe the anti-WalMart "Big Box" vote will come up on Wednesday.

The latest target is trans fat, found in some oils used to fry chicken, fries and other foods. A proposed ordinance would limit the use of such oils by fast-food chains in the city.

With a grandfathered exception for Billy Goat Tavern?

"We have children getting killed by gang leaders and dope dealers," an angry Mayor Richard M. Daley said earlier this year. "We have real issues here in this city. And we're dealing with foie gras? Let's get some priorities."

I’m not exactly a great fan of Mayor Daley – but he does have a point.

The city council in Chicago is the cantina scene in Star Wars.

Man, oh man . . . I am SO never going back to Chicago. No paté? Screw that noise.

Did they outlaw "Passing gas in an elevator" yet?

"...members of the City Council are trying to crack down on things they deem unhealthy, immoral or just plain annoying."

This is always where it starts. Is there some reason that people in government don't understand that government solves NOTHING? People solve problems...and these aren't even PROBLEMS!

Why not tackle crime or allow IL citizens to arm themselves? How about cutting spending and lowering taxes? But no, it's always got to be these stupid Nanny State missions.

I HATE using this term, but the majority of City Councils in blue areas are truly stuck on stupid! I lived under a regime like this when I was a property owner/business manager in Madistan. I fled the city limits as soon as I could. Friggin' socialists!

[patton]

I gotta tell you, I am LMAO. And wondering where I will move when my small town gets to this point.

[Musket]

Let's get some priorities.

Actually most eloquent Mr. Mayor, I think they've got their priorities.

Maybe they'll go in in the dark of night with bulldozers to enforce them.

"This is the legislation of refinement"

I remember when Democrats were real men, by god. What is happening to this country? lol

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Of course. Lefties don't care about people being hurt by crime in the streets. To control that would violate their ideas on political correctness. But they do want to intrude into and control peoples' lives. No surprise, when you understand libs.

[J F Nichols]

I look forward to the ban on artery-clogging, love-handle-causing Chicago style pizza and hot dogs. Pretty soon obesity will be illegal, also.

[xp38]

soon only outlawas will have foie gras

[Gabz]

OMG.........NANNY STATE PING.......and YES, I AM SHOUTING.

Criminy.

[MinorityRepublican]

This reminds me of the movie "The Island" which was sort of like 1984.

Alderman Burton Natarus looking like the picture of health last year. :o)
