More NY Nanny Statism
- That ban on big sodas being pushed by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is about to spoil family pizza night.
The ban on sodas over 16 ounces takes effect on March 12, and the New York Post reports it has some previously uncontemplated effects. For instance, ordering a 2-liter bottle of Coke, Pepsi, Sprite or whatever the family desires with a pizza delivery won’t be allowed. Even pitchers of soda at children’s birthday parties are going to be a no-no under Bloomberg’s far-reaching ban, according to the paper.
Bloomberg, who instituted a widely emulated smoking ban early in his tenure at City Hall, has followed that up by taking aim at trans fats, salt and baby formula. But the soda ban, announced last year, moves him farther into nanny state territory than any previous measure, say critics. The rules are tricky, and violations can bring $200 fines. Diet sodas and alcoholic beverages are not covered by the ban, fruit smoothies are okay as long as they don’t have added sugar and coffee drinks and milkshakes pass muster if they contain at least 50 percent milk. Drinks with added sugar must not contain more than 3.125 calories per ounce.
And the effect on the environment?
- Customers will have to order smaller bottles, which cost more and increase plastic waste.
Control freak gone wild.

Cocaine, heroin and weed r out- lawed too...hows that working Heir Bloomberg...wtf is this country coming to? I can't drink an oversized sody-pop?
This asshole is a perfect example of the complete and utter collapse of this country.
Why is it Politicians concentrate on trivial non-sense when they have so many more serious issues that Need their Attention? It's Beause They Don't have a Fuck'n Clue!
When there were still real men left in this country before the socialist takeover, there were bootleggers who peddled in alcohol.
Now the bootleggers will peddle soda pop. The Elliot Ness of Pepsi will be appointed by ObaMAO.
How far we have sunk because of socialists.
That is the most ridiculas thing I ever herd,The most ridiculas thing I ever saw was Alderman Burkes detail.
Alcoholic beverages are not part of the ban. Makes sense. Go to a game at MSG, get a couple of those giant $16 stadium beers, get fucked up, drive home...you're ok, but order a pitcher of pepsi at the local pizza place for the family, and you get fined $200. Hey Bloomberg...go fuck yourself and the horse you rode in on. Oh, by the way, the PAC that this goof is a part of, gave about $1mil to the 2nd congressional primary to back Robin Kelly. She won. Nice to see that New York politicians are now buying elections here.
OT: Okay, does Michelle Obama have a SAG card? Why the hell was she involved in the Academy Awards?
VERY poor judgement, on the part of the White House. Politainment? Enterpolitick? ENOUGH already.
Do you remember the movie, "Caine Mutiny" with Humphrey Bogart as Captain Queeg? Do you remember how Captain Queeg use to fondle those ball bearings in his hand when he felt stress? In the movie, Queeg is relieved of his position after it was revealed that he was a paranoid personality, reflected by his harassing, unnecessary orders and punishments issued to his crew, his micro-managing and his raging insecurities. Well, NY has got themselves a Captain Queeg. Bloomturd is a midget who feels he is king and he will tell you whant you must do. As a example, I read that Bloomturd demanded that landlords provide him with the names and addresses of their tenants who were smokers. Couple that with all his other demands of his "subjects" such as banning trans fats, salt on restaurant tables, styrofoam containers, and whatever else I haven't listed. Bloomturd is a mental case, and it will be the responsibility of those living in NYC to get rid of him before he squeezes them further to give up more freedoms and rights. Ask the New York City cops what Bloomturd has done to them, what he demands from them and the punishment handed out if they fail to deliver. Much about this has been discussed on www.freerepublic.com. The news articles reprinted and the info from the blog entries afterward from New Yorkers who live there is very revealing. Bloomturd is a socialist, pretending to be a Republican...hows's that socialism working out for you New Yorkers?
Am sure if Rahm-bo tried that in Chicago, it would be shot down in a heartbeat.
BUT- you can still buy a 40 ounce bottle of Malt Liquor in NYC.
Guess he did not want to offend everyone's "drinking rights".
Next case.
What kind of communist state has new york become?
Fascism is an ugly thing to behold. NYC is a prime example of uninformed citizens voting away their own freedoms
This is big brother, nanny government gone completely wild.
How long before our Napolean like mayor tries shitike this too?
So now he owns a congresswoman.
She is no prize.
I think I would rather have our control freak politicians who just want to steal money and make us good little communists. New York can have the "do-gooder" billionair communist control freaks who want to play God.
And to think these dopey voters keep putting these jerks back in office.
I'm a daily reader that appreciates the blog but you missed the main reason to have working class buy more smaller plastic bottles......now you get it! The tax per plastic bottle. More bottles, more in city taxes.
Out. Of. Control.
How did this asshole ever get elected? Also get a whiff of this. In more and more state's, it is difficult for the people to verify election results. We are supposed to just "trust the American way of doing things". By that I mean more and more cities and states are using electronic machines. Those electronic machines do not leave a paper ballot. So there is no way to verify the results.
OT. It appears that NY Mayor Bloomberg was behind the super pack ads that got Robin Kelly elected in the 2nd Congressional district, JJ's seat. Those were the ads that attacked Halverson for her stand on guns. Could this mean that a ban on 16 oz grape pop and other soft drinks in the 2nd district could be coming? For the longest time since the seat was vacated, they were interviewed and said how they would not elect anyone that was connected to the "white man" who would hold them down. I wonder how they feel knowing that their elected person was backed by "the white man?" Oh wait, all morning we have been hearing on the news how the 2nd Congressional district is not that bright. So I guess they won't mind if their elected official spends most of her time in NY to repay her biggest backer.
So now he owns a congresswoman.

In Illinois no less.
What does he/his super pac want in Illinois?
Illegal.Unconstitutional.
Maybe the Govt should regulate whether a women should use a sanitary napkin or a tampon??
Why should you have the choice.
I hate pop! good for him! they'll be healthier cause of him!
What's next? HHS employees stationed at food stores and restaurants taking BMI and a1C measurements to see if you are healthy enough to buy certain foods.
This soda initiative must be challenged in court.
In the meantime, Fuck You Mike
Like the compact fluorescent light bulbs replacing the incandescent bulbs. Look at how much energy you save. But they cost more and when they break you got a hazmat scene due to the mercury released.
Saw Robin Kelly or whatever her name is, JJJr's heir apparent on the news last night. She was talking tough about tackling the shooting problem by more and more gun control but never mentioned the savages who are the real problems.
Further examples of democrats coming up with solutions that are not solutions at all but rather cause more problems.
Coming soon to the 2nd congressional district, no supersized grape pop or flaming redhots.
I wonder how long it will be before Rhamn follows suit. If you can't solve crime then shift their focus in another direction. The old shell game.
"Customers will have to order smaller bottles, which cost more and increase plastic waste." - Bloomberg has also come out against another of the US's greatest enemies, styrofoam. So he's fixing this problem by banning another product. Wouldn't it be a great protest to see a hundred or so people drinking oversized Slurpees out of styrofoam cups on the lawn of Gracie Mansion?
A lot of people in the second congressional district need that soft drink ban. Now if they could only work on their common sense.
"The communist tell you what to do, what to say, what to think." Pretty soon we will be eating octopuss 3 times a day! Like Tony Montana! Except we get to eat it with diet coke!
Bloomberg and Rham went to the same "nanny-pol" school

Then you haven't been paying attention.
liberals...they know whats best for everyone!
Most ridiculas thing is ALD Burke body guards suits and ties.Job trends coming? Soda bootlegging.
When will people get fed up and fight back ?
He wants a ban on styrofoam too. I guess he's afraid someone will shape a handgun out of it and paint it black with shoe polish.
Styrofoam can be easily recycled BTW.
The Revolution won't start over some grave, egregious affront on the part of these arrogant, self serving politicians.
No, it will commence over something as trivial as some blowhard dictating the size of the soft drink you buy.
In Illinois no less.
What does he/his super pac want in Illinois?

not a Republican Congressman.
New York now has 30 US Representatives in congress. 29 in New York and the Illinois 2nd district that they just purchased.
Congress should be known as the House of Puppets. The corporations money pull all the strings.
Someone put a boot up his ass, who the fuck does this asshole think he is? Fuck him!
New Illinois 2nd district congress women's quote:
" I want to thank all the people that made me look like I knew what I was talking about..."
or something like that.
Just shut up and do what mayor Bloomberg tells you to do, that's all!
Control for Rham when he takes over Durbin's Senate seat.

We have a Seiser
Rahm has to play nice with Bloomberg and Bloomberg does not give a shit about what 9.5 thinks and most important how it looks to the the rev's,pastors,community activist and the minority community that they are leading around by the nose.
And I thought the politicians in Cook Cty were assholes. But this guy Bloomberg takes the cake..but no soda with the cake.

Fuck off, slave. Go move to North Korea where they'll tell you how you should live.
I can run a meeting and do so that it goes on time and no fizzle.Yeah,no big grape pop.if only the hot barb b que chips get banned.Forgot, and the sausage links.
I heard that Bloomie didn't go after 7-11 and its Big Gulp, so why the hypocrisy? Does he have any idea that this will INCREASE the amount of plastic in landfills? What a jackoff.
--No Cop Here
I hear the music now: "Springtime for Bloomberg, and Illi-noiz!" Mel Brooks couldn't write this shit.
Do those Starbuck swilling democrats ever have a good thing to say? What a bunch of whiney, can't cut the apron string losers.
J.O.' like Bloomburg and his billions knows best. How many times has he been married and had to come up big.
I am sure his kids take public trasportation vs. his Lear Jets they take on 100 mile commute.
[...] Customers will have to order smaller bottles [...]
It's a repeat of McDonald's super-size ban, where some/most(?) customers bought multiple large drinks.
Well, following Bloomberg's orders, my meal this weekend was illegal. The pizza delivery man also handed me a quart of soda. Contrary to what Bloomberg believes, the cola was not consumed completely for a few days. I do not need to drink thirty-two ounces at once.
As to the good question as to how this ass got elected, he posed as a Republican in order to succeed Rudy who retired due to term limits. Once in office, Bloomberg changed his political stripes and waged a legal battle to overturn the term limits law.
