Judge Serves Mayor Bloomberg A Nice Cold Cup Of "Shut The ____ Up!"

Michael Bloomberg, AKA "The Soda Jerk" got a major reality check at the 11th hour before NYC's sodageddon (my word) because a judge invalidated his precious soda ban.

Hopefully a 17-ounce cup of STFU.

However the decision said it was “arbitrary” but did not take away the mayor’s standing to ban unhealthy food.

I hope there is an organized effort to send a Mother’s Day card to Bloomberg - the nanny-in-law.

I read something interesting today. I guess nana-bloomie is using health department regulations to ban these larger drinks, which the city has jurisdiction over. But I read that since 7-11 stores are classified as markets which are regulated by the state, is it true that they can't stop 7-11s from selling Big Gulps? Or is that only for sealed drink containers, like how NYC pizza shops wouldn't be allowed to sell 2 liter bottles of soda, where 7-11s could?

I'm just wondering.

But I LOVE the idea that a judge put a stop to nana-bloomie's plans, at least temporarily.

Where’s all the soft drink manufacturer’s lobbyists on this issue?

Tammany Hall is not amused.
