Playing “Mother, may I?” in New York

First it was Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s (D, then R, then I) suggestion that we ban the Big Gulp.  As strange as it may seem, he wants to ban the sale of soda pop over 20 ounces.

Such nonsense by a government that cannot manage much of anything effectively would be laughable if it weren’t for the fact that it gives credence to nuts like Ron Paul.

But the other shoe dropped yesterday when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) introduced legislation legalizing marijuana.

Let that one sink in.  You could get busted for drinking a super-sized grape soda but having weed in your pocket is A-OK.
