What? What’s the worry? While we hope that the NYPD had the good sense to clear each and every firearm on display, what they failed to do is as undeniable as it is unforgivable. They clearly left magazines in, with bolts closed, on numerous firearms pointing at the press corpse. I mean, press corps. At least one of the guns picture above, third up from the bottom on the left,

The wisdom of Bloomberg: citizens cannot be trusted with 32 oz of soda, but US Government has ‘infinite amount of money’ so sequester is no BFD [Darleen Click]
Say what? [W]hile saying the federal deficit does indeed need to be curtailed, Mr. Bloomberg argued the United States could owe “an infinite amount of money” and there is no specific amount that would cause the country to default. “We are spending money we don’t have,” Mr. Bloomberg explained. “It’s not like your household. In your household, people are saying, ‘Oh, you can’t spend money you don’t have.’ That is

NYC Mayor Bloomberg blames Apple for rise in crime [Darleen Click]
No, this is not The Onion Major crime in New York City inched up this year, and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on Friday fingered the culprit: too many iPhones and iPads were being swiped. A rise in thefts of shiny Apple products accounted for the slight increase in the city’s annual crime index, a statistic that covers a number of felonies, including murder, grand larceny and robbery, Mr. Bloomberg said

Electrical union to NYC residents: We don’t give a s**t that you’re sitting in the dark … [Darleen Click]
… we have no intention of letting non-union volunteers help you In a two-page Oct. 29 contract, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) local 1049 demanded union dues, pay hikes and benefit contributions from Florida electric utilities before its workers would be permitted to help reconnect power to Long Island communities.

Mayor Bloomberg’s priorities: #1 endorse Obama, #2 … [Darleen Click]
Divert food and generators from Staten Island so the New York City marathon can go on. While the NYC Marathon is still on for this Sunday, many (including runners who planned on participating) are hoping the city will cancel or postpone in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

Add baby formula to transfat, Big Gulps and alcohol. Mayor Bloomberg is pushing hospitals to hide their baby formula behind locked doors so more new mothers will breast-feed. Starting Sept. 3, the city will keep tabs on the number of bottles that participating hospitals stock and use — the most restrictive pro-breast-milk program in the nation. Under the city Health Department’s voluntary Latch On NYC initiative, 27 of the city’s

“We have evolved to need coercion.” [Darleen Click]
When science stops telling us the facts and steps into politics: The food industry has made a fortune because we retain Stone Age bodies that crave sugar but live in a Space Age world in which sugar is cheap and plentiful. Sip by sip and nibble by nibble, more of us gain weight because we can’t control normal, deeply rooted urges for a valuable, tasty and once limited resource. What

Progressive Authoritarianism and the Fluking of America [Darleen Click]

In many ways it explains the grudging envy many Leftists have for Arab-Palestinian jihadists or Chinese communists. Behold in New York
