CHICAGO: Foie gras, run out of town with great fanfare two years ago, is being allowed back.
On Wednesday, Chicago's aldermen voted, 37 to 6, to repeal their ban on sales of the controversial delicacy, the fattened livers of ducks and geese. Since 2006, when Chicago became the first major city in the United States to enact such a ban, it had been mocked by critics, including Mayor Richard Daley, who wondered whether aldermen should really be devoting precious time to telling Chicagoans what to eat.

Tell us, oh blabberwockies, is it elitist to ban foie gras or to serve it? The fate of the nation may ride on this. This is bigger than Obama's bowling score.
