Always remember to substitute the words " alderman and commissioner " for " Commissar " , it helps keep these things in perspective .

They have weighed a proposal to force cabbies to dress better.

How many would consider a proposal forcing cabbies to shower or put a heath warning label on the cab?

Would prop 65 already cover this in Calif?

I saw them on a game show on TV. You get in this car and tell the driver where you want to go. He will drive you there and ask question on the way. If you answer the question right he gives you money, but if you get three of them wrong he will kick you out of the car. And you walk.

I wonder, can Chicago also reduce the fat in their elected officials' heads?

10 murders in Chicago this weekend; all handgun crimes. Guns are prohibited in Chicago.

One of the worst school systems.

Continued decline of middle class families.
losing population.

loss of manufacturing base continues. No longer leader in toolmaking, candy, meat processing, steel, forgings, plastics, anything industrial.

Good for yuppie businesses, financial purveyors, bad art galleries, homo businesses.

CLEAN AIR!........ no industry, that's why.

Great for distribution...

Know this is the self-congratulatory 'Liberal Collective' at work; and relishing their assumptions of power here; as they imagine that not only our wealth is in their hands but our health. . .(not to mention their list of inclusives that makes for the 'rest of their story'. . .)

So really, why do we put up with this? Where is the outrage? Could we have a 'National Nanny-nazis Job Fair' ; and encourage them to get 'real jobs'? Could we at least, shine the 'light of truth' on what really animates these people?

In a world filled with the outrageous; are we just too tired to tell these folks where to go?

Whatever. . .ignoring them is not enough. Placating them. . .tolerating them is not enough.

We must stop 'nanny-nazism'; before it is too late. . .

I guess it wont be long before before the illegal potato raids begin, along with aerial searches for illegal potato fields.

And pork? Fugeddaboutit! It had 2 strikes against it already. Pork possession will be a Capital Offense, punishable by stoning.

Gosh, isn't it curious how 2 supposedly different ideals merge seamlessly.

I do draw some satisfaction in knowing that one day, a retired Drug Warrior will be arrested & his property seized, because his grand kids saw his potato chip & cola stash & told their teacher/cell leader.

God help us. again. soon.
