But, it was over a cigarette that the bomber was located, as Rush pointed out today.

Didn’t Bloomberg’s health commission just get told it can’t legislate?

But yet Bloomberg thinks the age of consent should be 16 and abortions for 13 year olds is A-OK...

So, one can enter into contracts, serve in the military, marry, emancipate themselves from their parents and have sex with their former or current schoolteachers, but they can't buy booze or cigarettes.

Sounds right to me /s.

I’d like to kick his skinny butt.

Not only revolting, but unconstitutional as well. We have a stupid amendment that unfortunately allows 18 year olds to vote (it is true I voted at 18 because of that amendment, but I don’t vote moronically. I voted for Gerald Ford, afterall). If 18 year olds can vote, they can certainly by beer and cigarettes. This obnoxious action by Bloomberg can be opposed on constitutional grounds alone.

Bloomie is right. Any kid too young to decide how big a soda to order is too young to decide whether to smoke.

That or Bloomie has overstepped on both counts, and on many more.

This sort of thing is going to rip open that argument from the Vietnam days!!

18, and can’t vote, but can wear a US military uniform!
18, drinking “3.2” beer only, until 21.
18, can’t drive a car, but can drive a military vehicle.
18, not quite a man, but having to defend one’s own life, just like a man.

I hope one day that this non=practicing Jew named Bloomberg, wakes up one day and his heart gave out during the night!
