Like father, like nanny?

As chairman of the City Council's health committee, 28-year-old Joel Rivera has made a name for himself attempting to ban things other councilmembers haven't yet thought of: candy-flavored cigarettes, tobacco sales to adults under the age of 21, cheap (or "fast") food in poor neighborhoods . . .

He is another example of a liberal sucking the fun out of life.

I don't think the gov. needs to get involved in the regulation the body fat of models or anyone for that matter. I would like to see the fashion industry encourage healthy models.

I agree that the women they use as models today are not attractive, but they are not intended to be. The fashion designer's ideal is to look as much like a ten year-old boy as possible.

Actually, that head set would be perfect for Hellary and Pelosi, especially that mouth gag, and they would probably wear it being that it has a crown.

Hey now, I am a woman, and I have absolutely no interest in fashion. Jeans and t-shirts are my choice. I only dress for work because I have to. Fridays are my favorite because I can wear jeans and sneakers.

No lumping us all in together, there. LOL.

Under the new proposed rules, this model is acceptable as long as she doesn't wear that outfit while listening to her Ipod at intersections. More on the never-ceases-to-amaze Nanny-state brigade in NYC this AM: from one of Mr. Rivera's colleagues across the river.

I wonder, does the cold weather bring these people out of their caves or what?

Conscience of it or not, they're trying to take the initiative of achieving away.
