The Insanity of Aldercreatures
This is getting ridiculous now. It's the "nanny state" out of control:
Chicago restaurants already prohibited from selling foie gras would be forced to start cooking healthy - without oils containing trans fats linked to obesity, stroke and heart disease - under a crackdown proposed Wednesday by the City Council's most powerful alderman.
Finance Committee Chairman Edward M. Burke (14th) followed through on a promise to make Chicago the first big city in the nation to prohibit restaurants from using oils containing artificial trans fats in food preparation.
Um, Eddie? Maybe the reason people LIKE eating foods like this is it tastes good? Trust us, if the food tastes like crap, no one is going to buy it. Chicago is a city based on great tasting food. You want tasteless, bland crap, move to L.A. or Seattle. Not here though. You want to drive convention business away even faster than normal, eliminate the great tasting food.
And guess what else? No one is forcing people to eat this stuff. They WANT to eat it. And if they care about their health, they'll do it in moderation and exercise regularly and take care of themselves. But to completely eliminate food that tastes fantastic just because someone somewhere down the line is going to have "the big one" isn't just stupid - it's completely asinine. Chicago has a long tradition of aldercreatures and mayors who couldn't fit into regular size clothes and died of dietary related ailments.
Stop thinking you know what's good for us Eddie. Don't you have some conflict of interest votes to change somewhere in the Council record somewhere?

Off topic, but BREAKING NEWS
---- Introducing the new CTA Line:
INVISIBLE
Starting tomorrow, now making nonstop, frequent stops to the Kool-aid Intake Station
ALL city employees ride free
Ride NOW on the *new* INVISIBLE LINE, the only way to fly
Do the voters of this city and county get to pick who they want for these offices? Apparently not with the black politicians.
Who the F_ck said they can cut up the pork and distribute it any way they want.
It's time for the lackeys to get up off their ass's and start barging in the mayors office.
Don't the whites, asians, hispanice, gays, chinks, polacks, dagos, micks, hebes, and whoever I left out get to pick their leaders?
Lock and Load buddy!
vnsI actually rode CTA the other day and was fascinated by how the lice jumped from eyebrow to eyebrow on an intoxicated pissbum sleeping across 2 seats !!
You should ride the BLUE LINE
...The smell of WET DOG AROMA WAFTING THROUGHOUT THE CAR
Did I read a previous post right? The poster claimed to have been promoted to det. then sgt. becaise he was blowing a male exempt member? I would love the pay increase myself but there is no way I could blow another guy. What the hell is going on in this department lately? A bunch of panzies and fruitcakes.
...sorry to go off topic----
anyone catch the hour long special on court tv regarding nypd's fight on terror.
they are so freakin prepared....
So move your punk scared ass to NY
Just wondering...
Do the P.O.'s in 009 realize they are now the laughing stock of the police department?
009 = tool box.
good going guys. why don't you try to do some police work instead of hiding in the hole, playing on the computer and talking shit about your co-workers.
now, when you meet a copper from another unit/district, you will understand why there is a smirk on his/her face when he/she learns you are from 009.
we aren't laughing at you. we are laughing with you, you just aren't laughing.
M.E.R.I.T. = Must Endure Regular Intercourse Today
This blog has become an outlet for cowardly, disgruntled, and jealous coppers(from 009), to put the names of people they don't have the balls to confront in person, on a website in an attempt to embarrass and antagonize them. The person that is responsible for mentioning names and writing such slanderous bullshit should, and may have to one day answer to these people. I think it is disgraceful that Chicago Police Officers have to use a site to bash each other in such a manner. Rest assured, that it is not the norm in 009, but probably a very select few Cunts. They have no balls and are definitely not the ones who will have your backs in 009. The persons that were slandered so viciously are all good people, as well as good workers.
Time for registered users!
And he is a tool malcolm, just like you!
most anonymous blog writer in 009 and great friend of tulsa power but not a friend of the wood none other then richie (the blogger) soto!
Damn!
Just when I thought using my actual identity and credibility to speak the truth about this corruptly managed, clout-infested police department.
HOW ABOUT ME?
I am shocked to realize that twenty-four hours has elapsed without an anonymous, cowardly and vicious management tool attacking me for my alleged "homosexuality". (not that there's anything wrong with that).
While I can't understand why anyone would wear sunglasses at night, my personal experience suggests that the unidentified officer ("purple sunglasses") from 009 is probably one hell of a copper. Shades (pun intended) of Dan Lukensmeyer?
And to his attackers that ridiculed him on this site for giving a toss to six perps as a 10-99 unit, I say that your cut 'n' run "boast" that you didn't stop as back-up makes you a disgrace to the CPD. Shit, I'm retired and I would have his back "on view".
Stay safe out there. Next time, request back-up. And while it's none of my business, consider confining the sunglasses for sunny days.
The Superintendent is going for broke on his new diet, and wants all temptations within the city removed! :-)
Hey Northside :
You said it all !
I'm glad they stopped F@#KING with you for the time being. They must be asleep. Have a good one.
I guess I was wrong . the kids are up.
Back on topic:
Being a female officer with 4 years on the job, I am glad someone is doing something about the quality of our food. As you know, with our schedules we don't always eat at the best of places. Since I have been on the street, I have gained 6 pounds the first year, 8 pounds the next, 10 pounds the third year, and 6 this last year. That is 30 pounds in 4 years mostly because of the quality of the food. If someone were to force them to make it less fatty, I would be the better for it. I'm not saying that I would not have gained any weight, just alot less. Don't any men get on here and bullshit themselves or me and say that they haven't gained a pound, I have seen my classmates over the years! I am just realistic. I hope the proposal passes- Fem Cop
Can someone say "willpower"
God help us

Hey, Little Miss Blabbermouth...we can all tell you have only 4 years on the job. Have you NOT been around long enough to know that posting an ASSININE comment like that on this board is just asking to be slammed??
Why don't you just stuff some more unhealthy food in your mouth and shut the f*** up! Idiots like you make this board nothing more than an opportunity for personal attacks instead of a forum for JOB-RELATED stuff.
Geesh...where do they find these young coppers???

Hey sweetie, ever heard of a salad?....Jeesh
AMEN!!!
I hate when Burke and Beavers talk about how they are former Police Officers, as if they can relate to what we do day in and day out; they haven't been the police in over 30 years at least and have no clue about what this job is about in this day and age, the only link to this department for them is the clout angle, they have that down pat....
You've got no one to blame but yourself.
Push away from the away from the table, Porky. Just 'cause your mama told you to clean your plate doesn't mean you have to do it.
I've been on this job almost 18 years and I've only gained 10 pounds. I force myself to the gym 3 times a week and I limit the fries, chips and sweets.
Also, with the sky high price of gas, I bike everywhere I can in the summer. When I get home at night, I throw my .25 in my pocket and go for a 10 mile ride. Besides no traffic, it helps me sleep better and I'm not sitting in front of the TV, eating crap.
You can eat healthy while work, you just have to have the willpower to do it.
Now get that fork out of your fat pie hole!
Dear Pudgy Female Cop, it's not just the food. You need to get your expanded ass out of the car once in a while.
PS Try honking on a leaner tubesteak.
For the previous complainer/moaner in regards the CPD helicopter. The helicopter is finally being "retrofitted" with up to date bells and whistles to further assist the guys on the ground. Stop bitchin about the helicopter operation, it's not their fault it takes sooo long to get things done! City procurement has them "jumping through hoops" to get these things bid out and completed. Bottom line is that because bids/jobs need to go through the procurement process, it takes a long time. Sooner or later the bird will be up on afternoons. Be patient and be glad that the department is finally moving to the 20th century. Maybe someday the city will realize what an asset helicopter operations is and fund it enough to move on to the 21st century. Until then I'm thankful their out there when they are!
Keep the faith HH and crew!
The City Council of Chicago is an embarrasment to all of Democracy in the free world. It is a pitiful comedy act, which rivals only the Roman Senate, both for it's long run and it's idiotic pronouncements. And WE THE PEOPLE keep re-electing these morons! In a Democracy you get just what you deserve.
Burke was a copper for about 3 years i think. Not what I call "true representation" of Police Officers. To declare yourself a "Former police Officer" I would say a minimum of 5 years and a "ghetto" should be involved. Not 3 years in Bridgeport. Maybe i'm the asshole though.
Isn't that the same City Council that made themselves peace officers in order to carry weapons and voted on reparations???????
Ed Burke is a Communist.
Before being annointed a "merit" sergeant, Burke's partner was none other than JOSEPH CURTIN.
Beavers worked the north of 010 until he decided to $ell his $oul.

My guess is you like people deciding what you can and cannot do. Fortunate for you, you live in just the right city. If you really like people telling you what to do and when to do it:
Then blow me, now.
THEY JUST ANNOUNCED ON THE NEWS THAT DALEY IS GOING TO RAISE THE PROPERTY TAX TO THE MAX ALLOWED!!!
WHAT DO YOU SO OUT THERE FELLOW OFFICERS?
SCC... definitely time for registered users. This business of people's names being thrown around on here has got to stop. Please, please go to registered users.
My registered name will be A. Nonumous

OOPS ! My registered name will be A. Nonymous
It will not be long now until the city council will be conducting hearings on a new police superintendent.
They should ask each candidate, how well prepared is this city to respond to a terrorist attack.
If the candidate answers that we are very well prepared, everyone in the department is trained and equipped to handle anything thrown at us immediately. They will know that this person is a liar.
But, this may be exactly what they want. The mayor and the city counsel probably want someone who will take the flak for our lack of preparation and leave them blameless.
09:48:56
I was trying to raise a serious issue and stay on topic! You are an asshole. You say that you are not about personal attacks and then you and a host of others slam me. I've been trying for about a year. I've implemented things so I didn't gain as much this past year. I think its a good idea for government to monitor the food that the public consumes. That makes it okay for you to get personal with me? To those who can relate, show a little support. All I see here is criticism.
I've gained roughly 30 pounds since I came on too, so many years ago, but NOBODY better even THINK about banning Old Style!!!
Take some responsibility honey! No one force fed you those french fries! You gained weight because of a combination of poor eating choices, lack of cardio exercise and possibly genetics.
They want to ban something that TRULY affects this City negatively? They should ban alcohol...I'm leaving at the end of this year anyway! ha ha
From a past post about Miegs Field:
The Mayor used the Wanna be Dept. of Aviation Police to escort the trucks from O'hare down to Meigs at around 11PM. I know cause I saw them going down there on the Kennedy. The big question now...
Is it true that O'hare expansion money was used to demolish Meigs? Who controls those contracts other than Bill Daley himself.
Let's add the question, where any of those trucks used part of the Hired Truck scandal?
God Bless U.S. Attorney (Pat?) Fitzgerald!!!!
Keep at em, May they all rot in Jail!!!!!
this ordinance being introduced by Ald. Burke sounds like what they use to refer to as a "fetch-it bill", in the State Legislature. In other words you introduce the ridiculous and wait and fetch the money that comes in from lobbyist trying to get you to change your mind.

Chicago has the best restaurants found anywhere in the world! The best places to eat in Phoenix are run by Chicago’s Lettuce Entertain you. Los Angeles has the swankest and most expensive joints where the food is an absolute disgrace. Barf!
Don’t let Eddie Burke ruin Chicago’s food supply!
Off topic, police shooting in 017 this afternoon. P.O. is OK
Police shooting in 017 this afternoon
FUC............FOP go TEAMSTERS for representaton
Speaking of TARA Training, how many exempt members are on the Department and what percentage have had the Tara Training?
When BURKE quit the job in 1970 (I THINK ) He had already passed the Sgt. Test but before he was made he quit to be a lawyer. Do you think he studied for the test.
they just better leave my french fries alone. well im more of a nacho man now so...well french fries are still yummy. hey, french fries on top of nachos. oh heaven
$95,000 a year
and
100% pension after 1 term.

To Mr. P. Shades:
Well said, well written and not one typo. God love ya.
Gotta love P-Shades!! I worked in 009 from 1986-1997 & never met more hard-working, take no shit coppers. If you had a B.S. domestic, there was at least 1 car there before you arrived and another 1 or 2 when you exited the house just in case things went south. PEOPLE LOOKED OUT FOR EACH OTHER!!! If only some of that support & camaraderie continued throughout the department through the years, we wouldn't have the backstabbing little bitches we have today. I don't care where you work: 009, 011, 016, 007...we are all we have out there!! We are all the POLICE!! Back each other up & BE SAFE!!!

*I am NOT the 14th Ward Alderman. I lived and died in the 18th Century.
Chicago is a haven for the unhealthy. Half a million fast food places, others deep frying food. WTF?
Eddie Burke claims that he was a policeman. This is bullshit. His daddy got him a job on the Police Department on a three wheeler writing parkers in the loop. After working his semi-shift he attended law school that the tax payers paid for.He never did a lick of police work in his lift, he was a free loader, a piece of cheet and a f*cking fag.
i hear burke loves black people
He kidnaps them. Only the little ones.
To 1:02:45
How can anyone get personel with you when you sign in a anonymous.
You are one paranoid man, or woman or whatever you are.
The problem with the fat in the deep fryers besides choleric, is the " trans fat", more than 1mg a day is toxic to the human system and increases your chance of heart disease almost by 50 percent.(small McD's fry has 3mg) There were 2 independent studies done at Harvard of 80,000 participants each that came to this conclusion. Demnark has outlawed trans fats, Cananda is in the process of it. You can still put corn oil, vegetable oil, canola etc in a deep fryer, and have a better quality product. Trans fats when invented were extremely cheap, and the longevity outweighs natural oils. So it's either your heart or save a dollar. The restuarant and health industry has known about this for years. But money walks and dead men don't talk. You have enough stress dealing with mind boggling exposure to the lowest scum of the earth everyday, let alone a@@hole bosses, an abusive goverment, looking at penitary time when you f*&& up and make a mistake, screwy hours and 6 day work week, all extremely stressful and bad for your ticker, why add to it just to make some coporate giant like McD's richer.
Have your fried food within reason, just make sure they don't
cook it in a synthetic oil that your body cannot process or elimate properly.
By law now they have to post trans fat on your packaged food. On that same token if something has more than zero but less than 1mg they are allowed to round down and post zero. Another goverment lobbyist's scam.
and good morning to everyone
What are you fuching nuts, take your study and stick it up your ass you socialist asshole.
why do you think that Spurlock dude almost had liver damager when he made that documentary about eating at a fast food place for, what was it, 30 days in a row?

Hey you just described Phat Phil and the rest of the exempts. They haven't been the police for 30 years either.
Who is this P.O. James Olanski on Crime Watch every 2 weeks telling us how to secure our homes. My children know all his tips "we recommend" who the hell is "we" One of his "tips" was to leave 2 big dog bowls outside the house with water and dog food to trick "Duke" from entering when I'm not home. I came home and found 27 dogs (2 and 4 legged variety) eating out of the bowl. They wait for me every night now to feed them dinner!
Thanks Asswipe
Why don't you do some real police work!!
what is your address?
please watch next week'S show about leaving your BBQ stocked up and ready to go, and a few steaks on the grill for us. That's the next crimewatch tip
ROTFLMAO
post 9:28:12 am
Being a female officer with 7 years on the job, and have gained 5 lbs since the academy. It is not about the quality of food it is about individual genetic makeup. I eat fatty foods, junk food, ice cream do not go to the gym my only workout is getting in and out of the car and don't gain a pound. Someone else may look at a pie and gain 5 lbs. people should be able to choose what to eat it should not be forced on them. Why should I have to eat foods that don't taste as good because someone else has no willpower not to eat it???
