| New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose soda ban was overturned a day before it was slated to take effect, went on “The Late Night Show with David Letterman” on Monday night to talk about his campaign against sugary soda and his addiction to Cheez-Its. Bloomberg said he sees the role of mayor as as adviser, educating New Yorkers about healthy choices so fewer people die of obesity. Host David Letterman interjected. “I believe that it’s the corporate food industry, not the individual that is at fault here,” he said to applause. For once, Bloomberg erred on the side of personal responsibility.

Most amusing! Bloomberg and Letterman at the same time - a comedy of fools...
And the *stupid* comment - “I believe that it’s the corporate food industry, not the individual that is at fault here,” from Letterman - exemplifies the stupidity of the liberal mindset.
Nobody is forcing large soft drinks or Twinkies down the throats of Americans, and millions of us grew up sucking down 20 oz sodas - without developing a pendulous belly in the process.
Always amusing to listen to liberals tho´ - these are the people who think a big soda is anathema, but gay sex is ´normal and healthy´.
So much for coherent thought processes, eh?

The soda ban is so obtuse.....what about banning doughnuts? We can limit the number of doughnuts a person can buy at a time. Or pieces of pie in a restaurant or diner. Let´s limit the size of the pie. let´s track on a government database the number and type of desserts every citizen of New York City consumes. If they get too carried away, a governmental official can visit their place of business or home......the possibilities are endless.

Thanks to a 911 phone call and the help of an energetic neighbor named Charles Ramsey, three women who´ve been missing for years are now safe. Cleveland Police found all three women alive in the house of a local 52-year-old school bus driver named Ariel Castro who was arrested soon after the call. (Listen to Amanda Berry´s 911 call here. Better yet, listen to Charles Ramsey´s 911 call here.)

It was never meant to be anything more than an inside joke shared by the beloved family of Antonia “Toni” Larroux, who died last week after suffering a stroke. Her tongue-in-cheek obituary was only supposed to appear in local Mississippi newspapers’ print and online editions. But it ended up — through a long and complicated series of events — being posted Saturday in its entirety on The New York Times’ website. And then it appeared seemingly everywhere. “It’s just been a really, really neat thing,” her son, Jean Larroux III, told The Daily News. Much of the obituary was farce,

BOSTON -- Despite more than 100 offers, a Massachusetts funeral director is striking out in his search for a burial location for the body of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect who was killed in a gun battle with police. On Monday, Worcester funeral home director Peter Stefan said he´d received 120 burial offers from the United States and Canada for the body of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. But he said when he talked to officials in the cities and towns where the graves are located, nobody wanted the body there. Tsarnaev´s mother said she wants her son´s remains returned to Russia.

CLEVELAND -- Three women who went missing separately about a decade ago were found Monday in a home just south of downtown and likely had been tied up during years of captivity, said police, who arrested three brothers. One of the women said she had been abducted and told a 911 dispatcher in a frantic call, "I´m free now." Crowds gathered Monday night on the street near the home where the city´s police chief said he thought Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight had been held since they went missing when they were in their teens

UMass/Dartmouth officials continue to stonewall on the issue of releasing information on the records of four students now in custody in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing. The taxpayers, whose hard-earned dollars keep the place in business, should be outraged. “We are prohibited from releasing such records by [the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act],” insisted school spokesman John Hoey. “Our interpretation of the law indicates that that information is confidential.” Note that little “our interpretation” caveat. As a naturalized citizen, accused Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was eligible both for reduced in-state tuition and for student aid —

Via BuzzFeed, here’s the latest in tolerance from last night’s Piers Morgan show. Mitt Romney spoke at a commencement for Southern Virginia University, whose student body is 92% Mormon, according to Hunter Schwartz, and Romney used his speech to talk about traditional Mormon pro-family values — or really, generic Christian family values. For quoting Psalms — by the way, an Old Testament book common to all Christians and Jews — the panel laughs Romney out of the room as a “religious fanatic”:(Snip for video)The NIV has this as “children,” while the Ignatius Catholic version uses “sons” instead.

We can be judged in many ways. One measure of a civilization’s morality is how it treats those without power. Pope John Paul II once said, “a society will be judged on the basis of how it treats its weakest members; and among the most vulnerable are surely the unborn and the dying.” As I write these words 7 women and 5 men are deliberating the fate of a man accused of killing our country’s most weak and most vulnerable.

Threats by members of the Los Angeles City Council to use the city’s pension funds to penalize investors if they sell the Los Angeles Times to Charles and David Koch could be illegal and unconstitutional, experts say. A proposal by councilman Bill Rosendahl would allow the city to yank investments by the city’s three pension funds in the Tribune Co., which owns the Times, if the company opts to sell the paper to someone who does not uphold “the highest terms of professional and objective journalism.” Rumors that libertarian industrialists Charles and David Koch might buy the paper spurred him

That is all the information we can provide.” A Worcester funeral home, Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlors, has agreed to handle the services for Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the Associated Press reported,

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Mayor Mike McGinn is expected to announce Tuesday that they´ll be melted into bricks carrying messages of peace, and the bricks will be placed around the city. The buyback program was announced a month after last December´s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., by city leaders sick of hearing about gun violence.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

Ms. Jackson Lee, Texas Democrat, also made the case that the moral authority for such services is also derived from the Declaration of Independence. “One might argue that education and health care fall into those provisions of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” she said.

From the start, the Obama administration’s account of what happened in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11 last year didn’t quite square for Sharyl Attkisson. So the veteran CBS News reporter dug in, and kept digging. The result: Attkisson has been a persistent voice of news-media skepticism about the government’s story. On the air and online, Attkisson has questioned the administration’s timeline and its response. (Snip) While other media, particularly Fox News, have been similarly skeptical about the official narrative about Benghazi, Attkisson and CBS might put the story in a different light.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) on states nullifying federal gun laws: I mean, let´s look at the context of nullification. Nullification was last used by Southern states to try to eviscerate Civil Rights legislation, to try to prevent states from basically enforcing desegregation and frankly, I think history will look back on this round of nullification as kindly as it did on the last round. It is laughable also because it is a total bastardization of the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is not an absolute right, not a God given right, always had conditions upon
