Boston Globe - Saying that sugary drinks have caused rising obesity among city residents and driven up health care costs, Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino today moved to ban the sale, advertising, and promotion of the drinks on all city property. "I want to create a civic environment that makes the healthier choice the easier choice in people's lives, whether it's schools, worksites, or other places in the community," Menino said in a statement.
Cut the shit tubby. We all know your end game here. Clearly your wife was unhappy with your ever expanding girth and put you on a diet. Rather than grin and bear it for a few weeks you've decided everyone else in Boston should suffer with you, and that's dicked up.
And we wouldn't even be in this mess if you had any sense of balance and coordination. Seriously, if you could just exercise like a normal person, take walks, go for jogs, ride a bike without toppling over like an old school Weeble Wobble and injuring your knee every three months you wouldn't even have to diet. Have you considered seeing a Doctor about a possible inner ear balance problem?
On the bright side this next election should be the last we see of good old Mumbles Menino if this goes through. If there is one thing I know about city and state workers its that they absolutely treasure their coffee breaks. They're not racking up over time but grinding out paper work all day long. Those 2-3 paid coffee breaks a day are like the second biggest perk to municipal jobs. You take those away and you lose your voting base immediately. So sayonarah Tommy, it's been an OK 20 years.
