At the debate, Bloomberg correctly said: "I think what’s right for New York City isn’t necessarily right for all the other cities. Otherwise, you’d have a Naked Cowboy in every city.”
I thought it was apt, and true, but I figured that a lot of people across the country must have been asking, "What did he just say?
I don't. I think most Americans watching the debate were like WTF is he talking about. This is particularly so as the Naked Cowboy doesn't seem to be making much news. There was a time when he was national news, but those days are long gone.
Of course, his answer was BS anyway. If health is an issue, yes there should be a one size fits all approach and saying anything different is intellectually dishonest and playing politics; health doesn't have a zip code. The problem, however, is that I don't feel that a soda ban or any similar ban has a place anywhere.

He is being dishonest. He wants his agenda nationwide, but he knows that the big gulp ban is among his least popular ideas, hence him not fully owning up to it.
That’s an example of my major meg on NYCers - they’re a bit provencial, and sometimes have trouble understanding that we aren’t connected to their city the way they are. (Trust me, I am a lot kinder and gentler to NYCers than I used to be!)
EVERYBODY (except maybe some who're too young to remember) knows about the Naked Cowboy, standing on streetcorners, playing his guitar (and NYC is hardly the only place he's graced with his presence). He's been a standard tourist attraction, for like forever. He was even in Playgirl, decades back (poor little guy).
Nope, and when he said it, I thought "that will fly over everyones head."
