Chicago bans foie gras

• Did you ever think there would be a day when Chicago would ban a type of meat. "Chicago, hog-butcher for the world, stormy, husky, brawling city of the big shoulders?"
• I would expect this of certain sissy, PC cities which I could name, but Chi Town? "Here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities. Show me another city with lifted head singing, so proud to be alive and coarse."
• I guess the Sandberg poem will require a re-write

  
  "They tell me you are a pansy and I believe them
  

  For I have heard them outlaw your food
  

  And I have seen you kow-tow to their whiny voices
  

  Submissive as a bested dog"
