The slippery food slope

The benevolent government of the People's Republic of Chicago has taken a break from their gun control agenda to address another pressing issue: foie gras control.


But Illinois Restaurant Association President Colleen McShane remains opposed to a ban, either at the state or city level.

"What about chicken. Is chicken next? Will they ban the sale of lamb and veal? If you start, where do you stop?" McShane said. "When you open this door, will it ever close?


Does any of this sound familiar? If you don't see the comparison, replace Illinois Restaurant Association with National Rifle Association, and replace chicken, lamb, and veal with rifles, pistols, and shotguns.

Had to think about this one for a while:

"They can have my foi gras when they pry it from my cold, dead hands."
