Reuters/Reuters - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg speaks to the media at New York's City Hall after a ruling invalidating the city's plan to ban large sugary drinks from restaurants and other eateries,
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg predicted on Sunday that pressure from the American public would eventually force the Congress to expand background checks for gun buyers, even though the measure faces an uncertain fate in the Senate.
As Bloomberg launched a $12 million national advertising campaign aimed at prodding members of the Senate to support expanded background checks, he said the measure's widespread popularity would trump gun-rights groups like the powerful National Rifle Association that oppose it."If 90 percent of the public wants something and their representatives vote against that, common sense says they are going to have a price to pay for that," Bloomberg said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Dear Mayor Bloomberg:
ReplyDeleteIt's time that you manned up and took yourself seriously. Forget about those sugary soda drinks. Don't waste any more of New York taxpayers' money appealing that silly lawsuit. It's time to go after what really makes New Yorkers fat: the city's famous Jewish Delicatessens and Italian restaurants. According to my sources, a hot pastrami sandwich with melted swiss cheese contains 628 calories, 28 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, and is incredibly salty. What are you trying to do, give the Jewish population of New York a heart attack? I don't even need to mention the caloric content of lasagne and manicotti, let alone gelato and all those Italian cookies and tiramisu.
If you are a serious person, Mayor Bloomberg, you will go after Big Fat in your city and call for a ban of all Jewish Deli food and Italian restaurants that serve meals consisting of more than 300 calories. Two spaghetti noodles and half a meatball is more than enough for anyone. Wouldn't you agree? Thomas DiLorenzo

This would be the billionaire who grabbed a third term in office, despite term limits, and who wants to control every aspect of the lives of New Yorkers?
ReplyDeleteTell you what, Bloomingbutt: How about we ask Americans honest questions? Here goes: Do you want the goverment to have a list of every firearm that you own? Do you want to have to get permission to hand someone a firearm at the range to try out? Do you want a gay couple to be arrested if one of them goes out of town for more than ten days, thereby leaving his gun in the custody of the other?
See, how the questions are asked affects the results.
