I want you to put an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin.

No French fries. Or freedom fries for that matter. The New York City Health Department has issued new guidelines banning fried foods from its work-sponsored meals, telling employees to cut bagels and muffins in half, and saying that if cakes are served for a celebration, they can’t be coupled with cookies. According to the Health Department, it’s about being consistent. The Daily News explains:
"Employees also got a bright-colored brochure stipulating what can and can’t be served at meetings and parties. "Tap water is a menu must when food or drinks are served. Other beverages must be less than 25 calories per 8 ounces.
'Cut muffins and bagels into halves or quarters, or order mini sizes. Offer thinly-sliced, whole-grain bread,' the brochure states. Deep-fried foods are an absolute no-no and “cannot be served.” For celebrations, cake and air-popped popcorn – “popped at the party and served in brown paper lunch bags” – are allowed. But when a “celebration cake” is served, cookies can’t be offered.
“These standards are mandatory for meetings and events sponsored by the Health Department,” the brochure states. “The Health Department is leading by example by updating its guidelines for food and beverages served at agency meetings and events,” spokeswoman Erin Brady told the News...
Workers were also told to refrain from wearing perfumes or colognes with “noticeable odors..."
Was it printed on 100% recycled paper? With environmentally-friendly inks? Only one per ten employees with directions to circulate? And usable as toilet paper afterwards?
I didn't think so. 0.5 / s
Just make sure they don't contain any Dihydrogen Monoxide, that stuff can kill you.
“Odorless colognes”? You fiend! Don’t you care how many people will die from the Di-Hydrogen/Monoxide you’ll make it from?
A REAL man, and a real PBJ.
I want you to put an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin.
This is a liberal DREAM. If they can’t ban fun, parties or levity outright, they’ll legislate them into misery so the employees will give up and not have parties anymore.
I suspect a lot of people will eat what they want before the mandatory events and Dictator Bloomberg’s toxic tap water and tasteless slop will sit untouched.
Will these rules apply to Dictator Bloomberg’s birthday party, if his staff throws him one? Didn’t think so.
Meanwhile, back at headquarters...
The Obama’s are scarfing down Kobe steaks, racks of ribs and brats.

My 95 year old aunt fries everything...and she will out live the pseudo Republican nofunberg
Anagram for spokeswoman Erin Brady: Randy Brie. That’s probably banned also for being too high fat.
Workers can no longer wear perfume with noticeable odors, post pictures or cartoons that may be considered offensive, and must abstain from eavesdropping.
Who is the fascist goon that runs the NYC Department of Health and MENTAL HYGIENE? Inquiring minds want to know...

That’s insane and perverse enough for some lib fascist to make it so. Don’t give ‘em ideas...
NAZI (National Socialist)
It is not just a Party
It is a way of Life
this is a little too true to be funny...
Eventually they will want to go to what I’ve said but it’s too extreme now.
They get there incrementally. Here’s how they will do it.
It’s called the Dialectic. Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis.
Status quo is thesis. My example is antithesis (extreme opposite, too extreme for most now). Synthesis is their ‘compromise’. ‘Compromise’ would be the guy who suggested the carbon-absorbing underpants. More people would go for this than a tube up their butt.
It also illustrates a flaw inherent in the dialectic process itself. All one really has to do to eventually force people into more extreme positions, since it requires compromise off the thesis position, is simply to always increasingly propose further and further extreme antithesis positions. Status quo versus extremely extreme antithesis still gets you to an extreme compromise position.
It’s time to stop playing the dialectic game with the liberals and democrats.
Great tagline. Work the Confederate battleflag in there, and it would be perfect.
YUM!
You've just described the Overton Window.
