Rats Won't Take Over

  • Mayor Richard Daley and his budget director on Friday downplayed fears that rats would be taking over the city.

    Published reports this week indicated rat patrols were going to fall victim to the budget pinch at Streets and Sanitation and therefore cause a rodent explosion.

    Daley said it simply wasn't true, explaining that similar personnel shifts have been typical throughout his 22 years as mayor.
Oh wait...this is about the four-legged rats? Never mind. We thought they had fired all the aldercreatures.

What does he mean, I was under the impression that RATS have over run the city over 22 years ago and we have not been able to get rid of them since. I'm just confused. It must be because I am a Red headed, illegitimate step child, that is a Chicago Police Officer, so I must be retarded.

Typical Democrat solution...

Raise taxes....

Cut Rodent Control...

Raise taxes....

Cut Animal Control for Stray Cats...

Raise taxes...

Stray cats control the rats...

...and the Democrats give themselves a payraise.

The two-legged RATS are the insurmountable problem in Chicago. This includes da Mare and other corrupt politicians (almost exclusively DemocRATic) who are in bed with the local news media enablers.

The majority of the Chicago/CRook County electorate are either bought off by patronage or are imbeciles.

If people would take some responsibility for their alleys, streets, and sidewalks, rats would not be so much of a problem. Dont blame the rats. Rats will do what rats do. Eat and make more rats. Enjoy it Chicago.

They biggest RATS inhabit the 5th floor of city hall and the city council chambers. There one can find the most despicable vermin around. There is one particularly vile rat with a mane of white hair, round glasses and senior RAT status and answer to the name of Ed Burke. No way has yet been found to deal with that filthy infestation.

I'm sure that there is at least one two legged rat with the rat squad that should be put out to pasture for all the poison he puts out to get good cops fired.

I don't have a Rat problem, I have a Raccoon problem. Yes the masked bandits (4 legged type with bushy striped tails) the little bandits are aggressive and want to take up residence in your roof. The big problem is the lady behind me keeps feeding them and won't stop. I hate to call on her but it might get to that point.

I do take responsibility for the streets, alleys and sidewalks.

I pay taxes on my home, my income property, and everything I buy and use here. I buy city tags for two cars, parking permits for two cars, and transfer stamps every time I purchase another property.

In other words, I PAY for rat control already.

I thought Emmanuel addressed the rat problem in Chicago by suggesting to cut the City Council in half.

I wish RATS were like the bees once the QUEEN leaves others follow.
Too bad that the fifth floor FAT RAT is leaving but the rest of them will be reproducing at faster pace!

Another major Rat Preserve is farther west, say along Narragansett beginning south of Belmont and extending down to North Avenue through 025 Belmont/Cragin, skipping Oak Park, then beginning again south of Roosevelt Road in Cicero and Berwyn, all the way out to the canal/47th Street.

Definite broad-daylight sightings when you have five different last names taped to the mailbox of a single-family home, with a mixed salad of food waste, dirty diapers, car parts, and smashed toys shoved out back.

It's like a giant D-Con box without any D-Con.

Yow! Things jump like there's a steel spring inside 'em...

(shudder)

Oh. Dog owners? Rats eat dog waste. Might as well be leaving piles of mashed potatoes n' gravy out there, from a rat's viewpoint. Please scoop.

Gah.

...and while I'm thinking of it, every sanitation textbook since 1880 says that GARBAGE GOES IN METAL CANS WITH TIGHT-FITTING LIDS TO AVOID RODENTS.

What did we expect with these labor-saving plastic totes with floppy lids? Even with the few people who bungee-cord the lid down, pile cinder blocks on it, they'll just gnaw right through the soft plastic at the corner and in they go.

Might as well just toss everything out there in plastic bags that they don't even bother to tie shut so the flies can get started first.

It's hopeless at this rate.
