Worlds greatest city? Not with elected folks like these nuts…
From the New York Post. Looks like the city of New York is run by a bunch of fucken Nazis!
Sphere: Related ContentDecember 29, 2006 — Does the City Council have too much free time?
Why, banish the thought.
Along with pit bulls.
And a lot of other stuff.
As the new year approaches, Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. wants to ban pit bulls - those snarly pups known for having the occasional toddler for lunch, and other depredations.
Banning things, or trying to, is what the council does best.
Here’s the list from 2006.
* Trans-fats.
* Aluminum baseball bats.
* The purchase of tobacco by 18- to 20-year-olds.
* Foie gras.
* Pedicabs in parks.
* New fast-food restaurants (but only in poor neighborhoods).
* Lobbyists from the floor of council chambers.
* Lobbying city agencies after working at the same agency.
* Vehicles in Central and Prospect parks.
* Cell phones in upscale restaurants.
* The sale of pork products made in a processing plant in Tar Heel, N.C., because of a unionization dispute.
* Mail-order pharmaceutical plans.
* Candy-flavored cigarettes.
* Gas-station operators adjusting prices more than once daily.
* Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. damm liberals!
* Wal-Mart.
Some of these are just silly. (Candy-flavored cigarettes?)
Others are egregious: Outlawing Wal-Mart is tantamount to picking the pockets of New Yorkers who really can’t afford it.
All in all, though, what the council needs is a ban on bills banning things.
Unless it wants to ban . . . itself.
