Well, he’s a guy who got more votes than some other guy. So why shouldn’t he have a right to tell millions of people what perfectly legal beverages they can and can’t put into their own bodies on city property?
I mean, he got more votes than another dude! That practically makes him a GOD, does it not?
We no longer live in a free country. Simple as that.
Oh. And fuck you, Matt Damon.

This just gets better and better.
How long before everyone but the dependents of the state starts flipping off the gubmint on matters large and small–and the cops just stand there and laugh?
Also, Chicken Hypnosis.
Boston pissed off that Frisco’s hogging all the gubmint crazy?
You banned Happy Meals? We’ll ban Coco-Cola! HA!
(Apparently “coco”-cola is some chocolate soda I just dreamed up…)

Isn’t it cute how he used the word “choice”.
There are few bigger douchebags than Tom Menino.
I’m glad that he’s in Boston and I’m not.
Why stop here?
I’d get a kick out a maximum body fat percentage regulation for government workers. Why does Tom Merino wants all those Democratic voters to die early? Someone should investigate.
I suppose that’s Menino not Merino. And want instead of wants.
Super genius!
Whatever. Government employment is for losers anyway.
The order allows for the sale of beverages such as diet sodas, diet iced teas, 100 percent juices, low-calorie sports drinks, low-sugar sweetened beverages, sweetened soy milk and flavored, sweetened milk.
Whilst I wouldn’t expect anything that government officials do to make actual fucking sense, I’d just like to point out that Nesquik (or “Nestle’s Quik”, back when we had time for extra syllables) Chocolate lowfat milk, in its ready-to-drink form, weighs in at a hefty 170 cals per 8 oz.
Coca-Cola Classic, by comparison, is a mere 100 cals per 8 oz.
But the Nesquik is perfectly OK for our little lard-asses to drink all they want, at least as far as Lord God King Menino is concerned.
Oh, and regular sports drinks (e.g. Gatorade, or “G” in today’s syllable-deprived world) — 50 cals per 8 oz.
Banned!
You may be thinking of Dolphin former quarterback Dale Merino.
Someone should investigate.
I nominate The Kingston Trio.
hey dan marino is from pgh,pa(s.oakland)
Heh, that must be it, guins.
My favorite beverage out of Boston has 323 calories per 12 oz. Sam Adams Doppelbock. I wonder if Mayor Tim Menudo knows that such a sinful brewery exists in his city? He should take immediate action.
Going by BMI I would be considered obese. I’m not.
Nuke Boston, for it’s own good.

You know who looks sorta obese?
I’ve always been overweight by BMI as well. It’s total bullshit. There are no shortage of fatties out there, but athletes and people who weight train have gotten increasingly bigger over the years as well. There are high school offensive lines that are bigger than that of the pros 40 years ago.
Hell, by BMI even I’m slightly overweight (26.8). Which, that’s crazy talk. I occasionally drop too low by body fat actually.
Just put in my high school weight. In the absolute best shape of my life, I would have been right on the edge of obese at 29.2.
BMI scale = out
O!esity scale = in
Scary Words II:
“We’re here from the government and we’re here to weigh you”
Period.
“Going by BMI I would be considered obese. I’m not.”
please check with jen first. you could be progg.
I’d rather be morbidly obese than morbidly obtuse like Barry and Bidenpence.
Okay, I checked. I’d just be overweight.
Michelle Obama needs to get on my ass. I only workout maybe 2-3 hours a day.
If you could convince a local school principal to make sure you’re eating properly, maybe the First Lady’d go easier on you.
6’3 and 210 lbs is fat.
As is 5’11” and 167. Suck a bag of dicks, I say. I know fat. I’ve been there, briefly. This ain’t it.
Mark Salter is a fucking twatwaffle too.
Pablo – if you suck a bag of dicks, does that not make you a dick bag sucker?

So you can have a few at Fenway Pahk, get in your cah, drive to bah, and then run through someone’s yahd, because your a drunken retahd?
Sounds like promoting the general welfare to me.
It’s wicked pissah.
So, can you get a rum and coke at Fenway Park?
What’s gonna be funny is when the concessions sales in the these government properties TANK.
I’m gonna laugh and laugh.
Menino is himself undoubtedly solidly in the obese category, BMI-wise.
I’m pretty close. 5’11 and 190 lbs. BMI=26.5. I was 210 a year ago; borderline obese. But I could still run a couple of miles in 15 minutes, and break three boards at (my) eye level with a ball-of-the-foot roundhouse kick.
Working on spearfinger break now, which is I suspect where the grip exercises might help a bit.
Back on-topic: I can see banning soft drink machines at public schools. But for me, this kind of crap begins (or ends) at home. The more permissive parents are in giving their kids this kind of junk, the more they’re going to want it anywhere, any time.
Just to be sure, though, our kids don’t carry pocket money to school. That’s probably horribly fascist of us, by some people’s lights.
For the record, the honorable Mayor Thomas Menino has become famous in the Boston region for being a buffoon.
For example: Varitek split the uprights
As someone pointed out elsewhere, Mumbles Menino has stated that he gave up sugary drinks in 2004 – how’s that help you, fatty?
And that approving hard liqour at Fenway thing? The city did that early this week – today is a hearing about excessive drinking at Fenway. Not much mention of that in the press – funny that.
Normal for me…but I cheated. I put in what I am EXACTLY…
