New York Mayor Bloomberg Wants To Ban Cigarette Displays

from the New York Post: Mayor Bloomberg will roll out first-in-the-nation legislation aimed at pushing cigarettes out of sight in New York City stores. (Video)

Is Mayor Bloomberg for real? Banning a cigarette display will curb young people from smoking? Really? It's that easy? If you're a kid and you don't see something in a store that means you don't want to get it? Why didn't I think of that!

Seriously, the Mayor needs to retire and spend some of those billions he has on some serious vacation time.

New York Soda Ban: Michael Bloomberg's Proposed Large Soda Ban Slammed b...

from ABC NEWS: George Will and Donna Brazile debate Mayor Bloomberg's soda proposal.

I love posting videos on this soda ban because it shows the contempt that a lot of people in government have for you.


We allegedly have a obesity problem in this country and how does big government choose to solve the problem? Banning sodas over 16 oz. The two have nothing to do with each other.

First government can't solve this alleged problem. It is a behavior issue. Nothing can stop people from eating and drinking what they want. Nothing yet.

Second, what can government really do about it? Nothing short of taking over the food supply and making a law on what people can and cannot eat in this country will stop people from eating and drinking what they want.

Finally, those people who are crying about how your tax dollars are paying for ill effects of obesity. So, you want to get rid of Medicare and Medicaid? Do you want to limit the health care for people who make bad decisions?

Mayor Bloomberg's Sugary Soda Ban Shot Down by Judge

from ABC NEWS: New York says it will defend health initiative to limit sales of sugary drinks.

What a glorious battle our warrior mayor will pursue.  I have yet to see a story from our investigative media asking this mayor how would this ban actually help anything.  Even in this story from ABC, the question of the ban's effectiveness is not questioned.

Bloomberg On Soda Ban: "We're Simply Forcing You To Understand"

from MSNBC: Mayor Bloomberg: "We've got to do something. Everybody is wringing their hands saying we've got to do something. Well, here is a concrete thing. You can still buy large bottles in stores. But in a restaurant, 16 ounces is the maximum that they would be able to serve in one cup. If you want to order two cups of the same time, that's fine. It's your choice. We're not taking away anybody's right to do things. We're simply forcing you to understand that you have to make the conscious decision to go from one cup to another cup," NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg said about his proposal to ban sugary drinks 16oz or larger.

Listen to idiocy of New York Mayor Micheal Bloomberg as led by the dead-eyed Andrea Mitchell who lets him filibuster like a moron. Bloomberg is a billionaire in case you don't. Did he inherit it? Did he win it on a game show? Did he win the Mega-Millions? I find it hard to believe he created something where he earned his billions. Most billionaire are smart,hustling hard-working individuals. I see no evidence of that in this video.

The food companies are not to blame. It's the individual. How hard is it to understand?

In my opinion, there are only two ways to stop people from eating "unhealthy", ban all foods that the government deems "unhealthy" or stop paying for the health cost of people who eat "unhealthy". That means no Medicare, Medicaid, Chips program,etc.

Are you ready for that?

Judge Blocks NYC Mayor Bloomberg's Large Soda Ban

from Fox News: A New York judge has invalidated a ban on large, sugary drinks proposed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg. In the ruling, the judge called the ban "arbitrary and capricious."
"New York City's groundbreaking limit on the size of sugar-laden drinks has been struck down by a judge shortly before it was set to take effect.

Mercedes Colwin is an idiot. She claims that the judge was playing politics and Mayor Bloomberg, who is becoming more and more like the Emperor in Star Wars, heart was in the right place. This was one the dumbest bans ever.

For those who don't know, Bloomberg, mayor of New York, banned soft drinks in cups of 16 ounces or more. For instance, you couldn't buy one 32 ounce drink but you could buy two 16 ounce drinks. On what planet does that make any good sense?

This would have affected restaurants, movie chain, ball park etc. True be told, it wouldn't have affected anything because people would have found a way around this dumb law.

The reason some people want this ban is because the rising cost of public and private health care. As if this was going to make a dent in it.
