Man, with a name like Milton Tingling I hope he is as big in real life as he looks in the picture; otherwise the schoolyard was unkind.

Anyway, he's ten feet tall to me. Bloomberg is a jackass and he needs to be swatted down hard and often. The excerpts of the opinion I've seen are outstanding. Well done.

“Bloomberg said that he would not seek the City Council’s approval to try and enforce the ban, as the chances of passage would be low.”

So he did this for what? Just to make himself ‘feel good’?

The guys a maniac and should be removed from office before he hurts himself.

Nice to start the day with a commie smack down.

Capricious ‘eh? I bet he thought long and hard for a word to make Bloomberg look like the meddling nanny stater he is.

It’s called Escalation, and it pertains to many things in life. Drugs - marijuana to stronger highs or from recreational use of coke to full blown addict - alcohol, social drinking to alcoholic binger - AND power...you get a little, it’s like a full blown stiffy, the more you have the more you want - whatever tickles your twisted fantasies....anything to keep it up.

And I will bet that Bloomie falls in the category

“Some people will (rhymes with witch) if you hang them with a new rope”.

You know these people are ready to ‘give up’ public life when they start doing outlandish things and take on (PUSH DOWN EVERYONE ELSES THROAT) pet projects.

He’s (Bloomburg) pictured with a “Big Gulp” sold by 7-11 but as I understand it 7-11 was always excluded from the new law because they are regulated by the state.

Napoleon complex is an informal term describing an alleged type of psychological phenomenon which is said to exist in persons, usually men, of short stature. It is characterized by overly-aggressive or domineering social behavior, and carries the implication that such behavior is compensatory for the subjects’ stature.

The tiny shoes fit him perfectly. despite his wealth, it’s not enough to overcome his feeling of inadequatcy as a diminutive person.

Even though he’s a billionaire, Bloomberg is still a short man and no amount of soda pop can change that.
