The Windbag City

I need to tell my wife to add Chicago to the list of cities where we won't move...

Chicago on Wednesday became the nation's largest city to urge the Bush administration to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq at once.

The resolution, approved 29-9, seeks an "immediate and orderly" withdrawal. The City Council has 50 aldermen.

Chicago joins other cities -- including San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Calif., 50 communities in Vermont and the Chicago suburb of Evanston -- in calling for the withdrawal of troops.

This is worse than my hometown City Council wasting time urging the Eagles to draft Ricky Williams. Of course, as Tigerhawk noted, they had other pressing issues they dealth with as well, such as a proposal to ban foie gras in Chicago restaurants. These guys make Congress look good.
