Bloomberg's large soda ban can lead to many other imbeclic(aka - liberal) laws such as NYC residents being limited to only one slice of pizza at their neighborhood pizzeria.
Yes, everyone knows this is about the soda ban that failed to be put in place. It is still a fake story and it is still funny when people get suckered into believing it is a real story.

Thank goodness that there are still some rational people in New York City.

Those people are conservatives.

Get real, it's just "portion control" Bloomberg is not being denied anything.

I wish the story was true. Bloomberg would deserve it.

I don't love it. Nothing is more depressing than the complete lack of discernment and skepticism by the American people. No wonder other nations laugh at us. We're like the haughty dum-dum. Ever encounter someone like that, who thinks he's one step ahead and is actually two steps behind? That's America. Ignorant, shallow, with a complete lack of curiosity.

Always in New York you have to get 2 slices because of their skinny runny Pizza. They should come to Chicago and learn how REAL pizza is made!

I prefer New York style pizza to Chicago pizza - keep it simple, stupid!

Also I prefer New York style hot dogs to Chicago Dogs.

Who needs all those vegetables - just put a boiled dog in a bun with some mustard and sauerkraut.

Done.

I feel the same way with Los Angleles and Seattle hot dogs.

Bacon(L.A.) on a hot dog - really?

Or cream cheese, jalapenos, and siracha sauce(Seattle) on a hot dog?

No thank you.

I still fail to see how a large soda ban is a liberal idea. Regardless of how stupid and ineffective, it isn't really a right or left issue. If you polled Democrats nationally, I'd be surprised if more than 30% or so supported it.

It is a city of 8.5 million people, politics is usually the last thing people here are concerned about. The day to day functions are more important.

Bloomberg is a liberal.

Liberals love bans.

They hate liberty.

Liberals are all for control and regulation.
