Something tells me that Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry have bought a lot of stock in the following company:

As the song goes...

We never eat cookies because they have yeast
And one little bite turns a man to a beast
Can you imagine a sadder disgrace
Than a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face?

Away, away with rum, by gum...

Great. Black-market soda pop.

Apparently, these people have nothing to do but try to suck all the joy out of life.

They can limit serving sizes but can they limit the number of orders?

Waitress - And what would you like to drink with your order?

Customer - Give me 2, uh, no, make that 3 cokes.

Waitress - Sir, we give free refills.

Customer - Ok, then just give me one coke.

The very same people that scream that the "religious right" wants to take away their freedoms are the ones banning everyting in sight. Smoking, trans fats, salt, popcorn, turkey sanwiches and friggin soda pop.

Karl Marx, give me the strength to protect me from your followers...

[Conservaliberty]

wait—turkey sandwiches?

[boop]

Don’t you remember the story from a couple of months ago where the little girl brought a turkey sandwich to school and they confiscated it, because it didn’t meet the proper nutritional needs? They made her buy chicken nuggets.

What ever happen to SELF-CONTROL?

[Persevero]

I always like to ask if they are closing the homosexual bath houses, too.

Haven’t heard it so. What do you think might be worse for us? Pepsi drinking or utilizing an anonymous homo sex place?

[profit_guy]

when are they going to tax gay men for the cost of aids treatments??...oh i know that those on the left will say it effects people other than gay men, but the CDC’s own numbers say that 80% of all aids cases are in fact gay men, so let’s tax them!...i am sure the lefties of MA and NYC would agree, right??!

A few years ago, (I think it was) Cambridge that voted to make itself a "nuke free zone"; the dummies forgot just how much nuke material was being used by all the universites, hospitals and other entities in the city. IIRC, there was no provision made to accomodate these institutions.
