Mayor Daley: Big Brother Gov't in Chicago? "No!"My View TriumphsDaley scorns cabbie dress code idea
Chicago's Democratic Mayor Daley has reached a point where he has decided that enough is enough - when it comes to the far-reaching hand of a would-be nanny approach to public policy.
A dress code for cabdrivers. A ban on the sale of foie gras in Chicago restaurants. To Mayor Daley, it's all part of the same slippery slope: a Big Brother intrusion into the lives of Chicagoans that he wants no part of. "We're trying to tell people they can't eat certain foods. They can't buy certain foods. They can't ship certain foods in. Pretty soon, you can't drink. Do you really want government to keep telling you every day what to do?" Daley said.The Chief finds it encouraging that even a died-in-the-wool Democrat like the mayor still has enough reason to say STOP! Maybe there's some hope for the Donks yet.
The Moderate Liberal Punditocracy has swung around to my view so fast that I am not sure they really had time to read my blogs in order to know what to say. But that's the nature of the blogosphere: thoughts...Does Kos Think Senator Johnson is a Traitor?

I must say that I've watched more TV in the last week than I'd probably watched in about the last, oh, year or so. In fact, the reason I'm still up now is because I'm waiting to catch the 11:00...A Blogsite Worth Watching
Denise Ross: "Is Hilde getting some revenge?"This site was ref'ed in the previous post, and the Chief took a look at the rest of it, and saw several interesting posts there, and some good writing:
Like many tourists, I was drawn to the careless fantasy that was New Orleans, reveling in the booze, food, and jazz without a second thought for tomorrow. But tomorrow always came, and once the throbbing haze of Pat O?Brien?s finally subsided, I thankfully returned to my family, career, and responsibilities.The problem with binge fantasies is that the devil eventually shows up like a back alley loan shark to collect his fee. For some it?s monetary, while others are crippled by something akin to metal pipe across the knees. For New Orleans, the devil came in the form of Katrina, who in her own big easy form, pirouetted lazily across the Caribbean and Florida to a city where today?s troubles could always wait for tomorrow. Striking an area the size of Great Britain, Katrina displaced or drowned a population long overdue for a cold shower.This is one that you may want to check out, at least every now and then. I know it's added to MY list - and besides, it's nice to know that there are still some conservatives to carry the torch in the land of Ronaldus Magnus Reagan.
From the Rapid City Journal blog Mt. Blogmore: By Denise Ross The FEC has sued the Club for Growth, and it?s all over that nonsensical anti-Daschle ad the group ran in the midst of all the other campaign ad clutter....Ok, Now I'm worried
The Minneapolis Star Tribune has endorsed the confirmation of John Roberts to replace William Rehnquist.This week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings have been fascinating on several fronts, not the least for their jab-and-parry-exchanges between senators and Supreme Court nominee John Roberts....
