then it was the transfat, then it was the mothers who don't breastfeed their babies; and now it is the S A L T. Yes, the latest element in Mayor Bloomberg's effort to make New Yorkers "healthy" is his effort to ban salt. He will probably send his hapless Health Commissioner, Thomas Frieden, the guy who swore that a certain Taco Bell in Greenwich Village was clean although rats were dancing in the windows, into restaurants to grab salt packets. Bloomberg is worse than a nanny: he is an arrogant bully who thinks he can bribe and pay everybody off. He started out as a liberal who had endorsed Hillary Clinton and Al Gore; then overnight registered as a Republican to run for mayor in NYC. If Democrat Mark Greene had not run such a hapless campaign after 9/11, he would have beaten this RINO and we would have gotten rid of Greene after four years, what with Greene being hopelessly liberal. Bloomberg then jettisoned the GOP and made sure he would not have a rival in Tom Ognibene, whose Republican petitions were challenged and thrown out. Shame on the NYC RINOs who aided Bloomberg. Bloomberg then went on to overturn NYC's term limitations because "THE CITY NEEDS ME"! He reminds me of the Portuguese prince who went to Brazil and stated, "Diga ao povo que fico". (Tell the people that I am staying - [whether they like it or not for their own good]. Bloomberg is fond of raising taxes. He never met the tax he didn't want to increase. I am proud to say that I never voted for him. If New Yorkers return this guy for a third term, they will be getting what they deserve. Bloomberg also thought that he could somehow run for president. What an ego! And we know he doesn't like guns although he had little problem with a certain Queens politician who may have seriously wounded his girlfriend with a bottle. (Bottles yes, guns no!) He also tells us that we have to become used to overcrowded subways, blah blah blah. I am sick of him.
