I don't suppose New Yorkers will finally decide they've had a a bellyful of him because of this, will they?  I do know from living there for my first 22 years that NYC-ers are kind of slavelike with respect to Authority's authority.

"You can't fight City Hall" was a catchphrase all through my formative years back then.

Well, it is the city of Tammany Hall.

Why fight City Hall when it feeds you?  NYC is the living playbook of The Left.

That expains a lot about the way Denver is heading.  Circuses and bread and Tammany Hall-type patronage.

I've been saying for years that it's just a matter of time before the gov tries to force us to eat broccoli - enforce our diets in some form or fashion - because IT'S FOR OUR OWN GOOD. And justify it in that it costs the system too much money to have fat slender-challenged less-than-healthy folks running around. This seems like a start. If this passes, it sets a precedent and becomes "the norm" like so many other things that would be ridiculous if they weren't so dangerous to our liberty. Where does it end?

Careful. I'm sure "Gitmo" is on the list of watch-words. They're listening to you now Tallpine.

Hope they hear this loud and clear: I'll show you Gitmo.

More infantilization of minorities by the meddling class.  Strap 'em in the high chair and spoon-feed the little ones.  Everbody happy, especially those with the big spoons.

Let's see, you can buy a quart of beer or a bottle of wine and you can't buy a 20 oz Coke.  Something is out of wack.  But don't touch my popcorn!  Bloomberg needs to retire before he gets even more full of himself.

One of the big criticims my older brother had for George W. Bush was that he sometimes seemed like he believed he was a messenger from God and had to save the world from itself.  Bloomberg seems to fit that MO.  My brother voted for Obama and I suspect he will vote for him again which is beyond my comprehension.
