According to today's New York Times, Chicago's City Council yesterday became the first city in the country to outlaw the sale of foie gras. According to the Chicago Sun Times Chi-town mayor Richard M. Daley had this to say in response:

"We have children getting killed by gang leaders and dope dealers. We have real issues here in this city. And we're dealing with foie gras? Let's get some priorities." Finally, a politician I can get behind. Richard M. Daley for President! He's a decider. And a prioritizer.
