Three decades ago, Cambridge, Massachusetts aspired to be a nuclear free zone. Apparently, the mayor of The People’s Republic of Cambridge wants the city to yet again be the subject of ridicule. At last night’s city council meeting, Cambridge Mayor Henrietta Davis proposed the city consider a ban on the sale of large sized sodas at restaurants and other venues along the lines of what is being planned in New York City by Nanny Bloomberg. The proposal has been referred to the city’s public health department for study.
If the People’s Republic of Cambridge does restrict the sale of soda in any way, shape or form, all it will do is drive people to get their soda from Boston, Somerville, Arlington, Watertown as well as in Mitt Romney’s stomping grounds in Belmont.
In the grand scheme of things, this is no more likely to be implemented than “Meatless Mondays” were a couple of years ago.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Cambridge, Ma:
The birthplace of liberalism. The home of the university that has churned out more socialist leaders than any in China or the former Soviet Union.
Let Cambridge become the socialist utopia many in this country long for. Is say go for it. Impose even more limits on freedom while the rest of the country sits and watches another failed experiment.

What is it about some folks, that makes them want to deprive others of their pleasures?
Kinda reminds me of the old saw..."Why do women make love with their eyes closed? Because no woman can stand to see a man enjoying himself."

Excuse me...I have to go to the freezer & get some ice to put on this knott on my head where my wife just whacked me.

They may ban sodas, but Kool-Aid is a sugary drink they'll never rid our college campuses of.
If only the liberal "students" would learn to wipe their chin as they walk away. Most of them seem to wear their "blue Monica" well into their thirties.

Well if you ban sodas then you can fine folks for having them, right? You can criminalize the possession, sale, intent to sell, or use of...soda pop. Can you imagine on the streets of America cops writing tickets or making arrests for possession of a...Big Gulp?
Is this even America anymore???

Mike, Mike, Mike...things go much easier when you let the woman tell you what to do. Leaves your mind free to explore politics and other important things...like, is the Curse of the Billygoat real?
My life has been ever so much better since I let my nurses and social workers run me at work, and my wife and daughter run me at home.

Yes, I foresee good things caused by cutting caffeine for Harvard Law and Business students; and, in addition, Harvard, Boston University, and Tufts Med Students. I also especially see MIT Chem and Physics students taking this one lying down.
Yup, good things all around.

As if we need another example of the infantile nature of liberalism. Bloomburg and his friends need to be given lollipops and a pat on the head and told to sit down and be quiet.
