| Take a big gulp, New York: Hizzoner is about to give you a pop. Nanny Bloomberg unleashes his ban on large sodas on March 12 — and there are some nasty surprises lurking for hardworking families. Say goodbye to that 2-liter bottle of Coke with your pizza delivery, pitchers of soft drinks at your kid’s birthday party and some bottle-service mixers at your favorite nightclub. They’d violate Mayor Bloomberg’s new rules, which prohibit eateries from serving or selling sugary drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces. Bloomberg’s soda smackdown follows his attacks on

Bloomie must hate the working guy. I have a friend who runs a pizza shop. When he runs a special, free 2 liter of soda with a large, his business increases and his driver´s tips increase. Jack up the cost of soda and I´ll bet those delivery guys in NY see a big chunk taken out of their tips.

Apparently, Mayor Bloomberg believes New Yorkers are so mentally handicapped that they can´t figure out they can order as much soda pop as they want simply by purchasing multiple under-16-ounce bottles.
When people order coffee, they order it by the cup, and when they want more they ask for a refill. This is perfectly adaptable to soda pop. How long will it be before New Yorkers, wandering around in their mental fog thirsty for more than 16 ounces of soda pop, figure this out?

The ban does not apply to sugar free drinks such as Tab, Diet-Rite, Diet Dr. Thunder, etc.
A number of artificial sweeteners are available, so let´s not hear any nonsense about artificial sweeteners peddled by Big Sugar.
If Government ever did anything useful, they should end the ban on cyclamates. Big Sugar funded the study that led to banning cyclamates. Those results have never been independently verified. Canadians drinking cyclamates are not seeing an increase in cancer rates.

Coca Cola, Pepsi, every sugar drink maker, every restaurant, bar, hot dog stand, fast food restaurant and any seller of beverages should sue in both a class action suit and individually against Bloomberg. Keep him in litigation long after he is gone, clog up the entire court system and totally bankrupt NYC in the first year of filing.
Even if the cases lose it would cost the city so much money and time, absolutely no other city would dream of doing this, other than maybe SF.

#11, see #16. It is a LOT less expensive buying in bulk. And if you have a big party, it is stupid that one cannot get a large pitcher or 2 liter bottles to serve everyone more efficiently.
Yes, bring back cyclamates! The FDA is not holding it up due to cancer anymore. It is holding it up for political reasons. Which is too bad because it is the only non-sugar sweetener that tastes good and has no after-taste. Maybe I should move to Canada. It sounds like they are freer than us now.

By the way, S.F. is nothing like N.Y.C. in this respect. Sure, they banned plastic bags at grocery stores but they don´t control your food like Nanny Bloomberg, the Tyrant, does. S.F. is still free compared to NYC.

Oh my as if the pizza place can´t then have specials on say 4 16 oz containers with glass serving mugs or send 16 oz glass bottles with each delivery. They could do as the gun companies and refuse to sell them to government employees or to close out the public when the obe wants to party.

DAMASCUS, Va - At least 50 people were injured Saturday after a car struck a crowd of hikers in the Appalachian Trail Days parade in Damascus. A Virginia State Police reconstruction team has closed off the bridge where the incident happened and is investigating it as a crime scene. According to authorities, a green Cadillac was traveling on Route 91 in Damascus around 2:15 p.m. when his vehicle cut through a nearby car wash located off Third Street, where the parade was taking place.

A man named Marcus Dixon had just told him about the center´s key role in helping him learn to provide for his family after being released from jail.

WASHINGTON There´s an irony in the Internal Revenue Service´s crackdown on conservative groups. The nation´s tax agency has admitted to inappropriately scrutinizing smaller tea party organizations that applied for tax-exempt status. But the IRS largely maintained a hands-off policy with the much larger, big-budget organizations on the left and right that were most influential in the 2012 elections and are organized under a section of the tax code that allows them to hide their donors.

Two Congressmen are asking the Treasury Department if it inappropriately scrutinized conservative-owned businesses the same way it targeted Tea Party groups filing for tax-exempt status. Republicans Mike Kelly (PA-03) and Jim Renacci (OH-16) circulated a letter Thursday requesting Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to release documents detailing the process and methodology the Automotive Task Force used to shut down General Motors dealerships in 2009 during the automotive industry crisis. Renacci´s Northeast Ohio Chevrolet dealership was closed in 2010 after losing a battle with General Motors. Congress loaned General Motors $50 billion in 2009 after GM declared bankruptcy, which resulted

SAN JOSE— For most Americans in the United States, Armed Forces Day is not on the lists of likely holidays to honor the country’s military in celebrations of Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. Sadly, most Americans may not even realize that Armed Forces Day is even a legitimate holiday. Armed Forces Day was established to be celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It started during Harry Truman’s administration when he led an effort to consolidate the various holidays supporting each separate branch of the military into a simple unified holiday to honor the four branches together.

Dorothy, the 14-year-old peregrine falcon that since 2002 has nested on a 40th-floor ledge of the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland, was perched on the limestone railing next to that nest and her lone chick shortly before 9 a.m. Friday. She´d just fed the 22-day-old chick a small bird for breakfast. "Baltimore oriole ... again," said Kate St. John, who blogs about the city´s peregrines. Someone else watching from the office inside the window next to the nest said it looked like Dorothy was calmly "chilling." Ms. St. John´s response was that nothing could be further from the truth.

WASHINGTON — An Internal Revenue Service watchdog testified Friday that he told Obama administration officials in June that he was looking into allegations the IRS targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The revelation by Inspector General Russell George came at the first congressional hearing on the IRS misconduct, which has generated a political firestorm since it was disclosed a week ago. George’s testimony represented the first evidence that officials in the Obama administration knew of the allegations as long as a year ago, during the presidential campaign.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull.

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
