Stupid politicians
are all the rage these days. And the sad news is that
they know no party affiliation. They all KNOW
that they KNOW what is better for you and are stealing your
freedoms right from under your nose.
I'd like to enter
into this discussion with Exhibit A of the biggest Schmuck America
has ever seen. This pathetic excuse of a human being
is likely not an evil person like our President is.
This guy is a jerk of the first order - a nanny - a ninny - a
piece of human garbage who is a tyrant. He may
be major of a butthole island, but he is nonetheless hell bent to
steal people's choices for no good reason other than he knows
better than you do.
As of March 12th,
New York City dwellers will be under food gestapo
rules. You are too stupid to be able to decide
if you should have a drink larger than 16 ounces. So
your asswipe mayor will prevent you from ordering anything larger.
But there is
more. Want to order a pitcher of soda with your
pizza? Forget it. Mayor Bloomberg knows
better and you can't buy it. Want to order a 2 liter
bottle of soda to be delivered with your pizza? Forget
it! Mayor Bloomberg knows better than you do - you
don't need any stinking 2 liters of soda!
From
the NYPost....
"The city
Health Department last week began sending brochures to businesses
that would be affected by the latest ban, including restaurants,
bars and any “food service” establishment subject to letter
grades.
And merchants were
shocked to see the broad sweep of the new rules.
“It’s not
fair. If you’re gonna tell me what to do, it’s no good,”
said Steve DiMaggio of Caruso’s in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.
“It’s gonna cost a lot more.”
And consumers,
especially families, will soon see how the rules will affect their
wallets — forcing them to pay higher unit prices for smaller
bottles.
Typically, a
pizzeria charges $3 for a 2-liter bottle of Coke. But under the
ban, customers would have to buy six 12-ounce cans at a total cost
of $7.50 to get an equivalent amount of soda.
“I really feel
bad for the customers,” said Lupe Balbuena of World Pie in
Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

Domino’s on First Avenue and
74th Street on the Upper East Side is doing away with its most popular drink
sizes: the 20-ounce and 2-liter bottles.
“We’re getting in 16-ounce
bottles — and that’s all we’re going to sell,” a worker said.
He said the smaller bottles
will generate more revenue for the restaurant but cost consumers more.
It will also trash more
plastic into the environment.
Deliveryman Philippe Daniba
said he had brought countless 2-liter bottles of soda to customers over his 19
years at the restaurant. The ban, he said, “doesn’t make sense.”
Industry-group officials
agreed.
“It’s ludicrous,” said
Robert Bookman, a lawyer for the New York City Hospitality Alliance. “It’s
a sealed bottle of soda you can buy in the supermarket. Why can’t they
deliver what you can get in the supermarket?”
Families will get pinched at
kid-friendly party places, which will have to chuck their plastic pitchers
because most hold 60 ounces — even though such containers are clearly
intended for more than one person.
Changes will be made at the
Frames bowling alley in Times Square, where 26-ounce pitchers are served at
kids’ parties, said manager Ayman Kamel.
“We’re going to try to get
creative,” he said, noting drinks with 100 percent juice are exempt from the
ban.
“We’re figuring out a way
to have freshly squeezed juice for the birthday parties. We might have to
raise the price about a dollar or so.”
Dallas BBQ at 1265 Third Ave.
will retire its 60-ounce pitchers and 20-ounce glasses, manager Daisy Reyes
said.
“We have to buy new
glasses,” she said. “We’re in the process.”
And if you’re looking for a
night of bottle service at a Manhattan hot spot, be warned: Spending $300 on a
bottle of vodka no longer entitles you to a full complement of mixers.
