    Its about time. When supersize drinks are outlawed, only outlaws will have supersize drinks. Maybe while they're at it they could ban millionaire mayors too!

    Nothing wrong with a millionaire IMHO, but I will agree that Bloomberg blows.

    He does what he needs to maintain his power, and changes parties as the need fits.

    Personally I don't give a rats arz.
    If you are daft enought to live in NYC, and pay all of those taxes you just 'ain't' right in the head.[:)]

    Hiz Honor does not have to worry about weight reduction for the population. NY state has had a 8% or 1,500,000 people leave in the years 2000 - 2008. That adds up to a lot of pounds.

    This calls for a Mel Brooks movie, with some O'Bannion-type smuggling 2-liter plastic bottles to a Capone-esque Gatorade operation in the Bronx...City Prosecutors taking payoffs...turf wars with Thompsons and dynamite...

    Shades of two great old tv series..."The Untouchables" and "The Roaring 20's". Speakeasies will serve the large soft drinks.

    Can someone point out the section of The Constitution that gives him and his lackeys the power to do this? What the hell business of his is it if people want to drink 16+ ounces of sugar?

    I would say the 10th Amendment would be his only hope, as he could hire enough lawyers to argue that he is "the people" because they elected him. In this case, I do believe the people deserve what they elected if they elected HIM.

    I will certainly pass on the supersized drinks, I drink non-sugar anyway, but it should be my choice not that of any level of gubment. How about we ban Blumberg?

    For the record, 17tobyracing, I find your broadbrush comments about blacks and jews disturbing.

    Back to Bloomberg and New York City, it's sad to think this was once part of the American Republic. It is now part of Liberal Occupied America.

    You and Tito start a comedy club yet?[:D]
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Ouch!

    I'm not Jewish, but if I was, I'd find that more than a bit offensive. [:0]

    Care to share your reason for the hatred?

    Offensive? Hatred? Truth!

    Michael Bloomberg is a Jew. Michael Bloomberg uses his political position and his wealth to further the cause of anti-gunners. The most sweeping anti-2nd Amendment legislation in history was championed by Jews. Hence, Michael Bloomberg is just another anti-2nd Amendment Jew. Facts!

    Wow.... good call. Since being Jewish appears to be the cause for all these problems, perhaps we should exterminate them all, eh?

    Ah, the typical defense against anti-Zionist facts is to raise the subject of Hitler and the Nazis...no different than an Obama supporter's never ending usage of the race card.
