New York City mayor Bloomberg is looking to extend his precious nanny state to unprecedented proportions. He’s now trying to snatch frosty cold sodas from the hands of millions of parched New Yorkers. Any soda over 16 ounces could soon be banned from the shelves of NYC stores.
Twitter let it known that it would not go quietly into the night when it comes to deciding what they get to drink.

Idea for Mayor Bloomberg: New rule in NYC limiting television to only one hour a night. Also mandatory aerobics class. http://t.co/Hx5or1rB

All NYC residents should just move back in with their parents. Mom and Dad's rules won't be half as strict as Bloomberg's.

Mike Bloomberg is deeply committed to convincing people that Rudy Giuliani was a libertarian.

I'm going to drop out of school and start a soda speakeasy in Midtown. Who's with me?
