The Dems really need to drop the “Democratic” and just replace it with “communist” or “socialist” or “nazi”...or all 3.

I don’t even like soda pop...

But, this takes asinine to the highest level.

Moscow on the Charles is full of ageing ex-hippies, hardcore drug nuts, Leninist retreads, Leftist Harvard prima donnas, and Henry David Thoreau wannabes; they can ban the sale of soda, but look out if they ever initiated a serious ban on marijuana.

There’d be riots in the streets.

I’m elated that these liberal enclaves recognize that their residents aren’t smart enough to make basic choices about health.

Hopefully their next move will be to prohibit these same folks from voting in federal elections.

I’m laughing because they’ve finally over-reached. Celebrating sodomy with 12-year-olds is no biggie. But take away jumbo sodas? Now they’ve gone too far.

This should have been their last step, not their third. They tipped their hand too early. This could even wake up the slacker crowd.

I rarely listen to the Andy Dean show, but for some reason I had him on last night, when a caller made an interesting point...this will follow the "big tobacco" model. Right now the soda makers have no real incentive to lobby hard. Once they start being onerously regulated, they'll be compelled to start kicking in bigger and bigger donations to various campaigns.

I guess Dairy Queen will have to stop selling milkshakes.

Restaurants make a huge percentage of their profit on the beverage. If they don’t serve alcohol that means pop. They sell overpriced sugar water to offset the doorbuster food price that brings you in in the first place.

Ban pop and you take away the profit (which is probably what the people in Cambridge really wanted to do all along)

As a non smoker I knew this was going to happen when they started ban smoking in places.. Yet some freepers said it would stop there.. I knew it wouldn’t. Give the Government an inch and they will want more and more.

Pepsi envy?

During my days in Cambridge the cola that was sold in all of the little underground shops on the 'T' was Canada Dry Jamaica Cola. You had to scrounge for a Coke or a Pepsi.

And I had to walk ten miles to class, uphill, both ways.
