I can’t wait for the comments on this. Basically, it will be derisively dismissive.

In a world populated by sentient beings, Bloomberg would be a gift from heaven to conservatives.

When government owns industry it is called socialism. When government micromanages business through regulations it is a called fascism.

This country crossed the line into fascism decades ago, but it wasn’t until the last decade or so that it became so obvious that I was awakened from my denial. You couldn’t see that line behind us now even with a high powered telescope.

Leftist loving leeches just love these tyrants to tell them what to do, when to do it, and how to do it - so long as they don’t have to pull their own weight and pay their real fair share.

Leave them to their own devices, the tyrants and leeches, and they’ll soon be telling them what toilet paper to buy, how much they can use, and from which side to wipe, front-to-back or back-to-front.

From the article: “....a bill which would require bowling alley owners to post signage prohibiting patrons from wearing shoes outside of their bowling alleys, ....”

This is hugh and series, don’cha know??!!!

Next the two blooming idijts and Mayor Bloomie will say you can't wear work shoes outside of work, tennis shoes off the court, cowboy shoes (boots) not wearing cowboy outfits and rodeo ropes, or something......

Could you get through TSA screening at the airport in bowling shoes?

NYC has song been a ‘sanctuary city’, giving aid and comfort to illegals as they become an ever increasing part of the population.

Point being that this is the only way Bloomie and the left can hope to get away with this Marxist fascism. No resistance from the illegals, they're just happy to be here.

Maybe this is the real purpose of pushing amnesty.

Can’t say Tort reform, of course.

Who’s going to donate money to keep them in their ‘jobs’?

From the article:

"Bowling shoes are traditionally designed to be slick, and are also typically designed to be unfashionable to discourage their use for anything other than the sport they were made for. It is not clear why patrons ha"ve been leaving establishments in their bowling shoes.

What an amusing comentary on human nature. Try as they might to make bowling shoes ugly, some people find them attractive, perhaps for that very reason.

I went outside the bowling alley to have a smoke. I was wearing my bowling shoes and carrying my 64 oz coke. I had such a large drink because I had put too much salt on my fries.

I think this amounts to a capital offense in NY state

Henceforth, all day-glo shades used in the manufacturing of bowling shoes must be preapproved by state committee, and all organized crime payments slipped into bowling shoes at the rental counter MUST be wrapped in state-approved rubber bands ONLY.

Either 1) They are trying to regulate use of my own bowling shoes, which has nothing to do with the bowling alleys or 2) they are trying to keep people from suing the bowling alleys because they steal the alley's rental shoes and then fall down outside while wearing the stolen shoes, which should be handled by tort reform and even the option of corporal punishment by the bailiff. Either way, it is not the government's business other than enforcing the law on grand theft bowling shoe.

I hope you used plenty of transfats for the fries so there is at least the chance for a grease fire when they strap you into old sparky.

We need a truly gifted conservative leader to emerge who has a gift of brilliant oratory skills.
That person would use the Bloomies of the world as examples to wake people up.
Reagan did that at times. I thought Palin could.
