Glenn Reynolds, on that fool Mayor Mike Bloomberg – and every fool that supports Bloomberg’s crazy crusade to regulate what people eat, drink, smoke, and generally do.
Let me be clear. These people are not well-meaning do-gooders who have just gone a bit too far. They don’t actually “mean well” at all. They don’t mean well, they mean to be in control. They are power-fetishists, drunk on the joys of bossing the little people around. They are not good people. They are evil. They should be ashamed of themselves, but shame — like taxes — is for the little people.
Damn straight.

*Note the verb. I am not saying that Mayor Bloomberg needs a higher dry cleaning bill; merely that Bloomberg having to keep bringing in his suits because people keep glitter-bombing buckets of cherry cola on him might be a somewhat apropos karmic backlash. Far be it from me to incite acts of civil disobedience, though…
The people of NYC keep voting for him. I have little pity for fools who beg for their chains.
It’s the return of sumptuary laws, with the intention of protecting their precious sight from us fat people.
“How dare you disrespect your betters!” You mean like that, Rob?
What is next for the nanny? What is it going to take for the people to wake up? First cigs, then trans fats, now colas.
You forgot salt, Spegen. Best part of that is that the “salt is bad” research was overturned years ago…
