Showing, once more, that Totalitarians have a very diminished sense of humor

We all know that NYC Mayor Mikey Bloomberg is both a sour puss and has a predilection to make choices for peoples’ lives (as opposed to letting Citizens do that for himself) that seems to be rivaled only by his billionaire wealth.  His outlook is that of NH State Rep Kris Roberts (“Government has to protect us from our own stupidity.”) and has had laws and regulations passed to eliminate trans-fats from people diets, tried to regulate the size of soda cups, wants only government (or government approved entities – not me and you) to feed the hungry and homeless, wants to limit salt intake, and make it harder to use tobacco products (hiding it more and taxing it lots more).

So, a brand new bakery decided to make sport of this killjoy – and he was not happy with it:

bloomberg-cupcakeThe billionaire mayor who is waging a very public war on fat, salt, sugar and more is not pleased with a new 36,000 calorie cupcake that was unveiled this week.

So, is Mayor Mike offended by the calorie count in the cupcake or is it the fact that his frowning face was resting atop the mouth-watering masterpiece? When he was told about the pastry, Bloomberg’s reaction was a curt one, displaying his displeasure:

“This is one of the dumbest things people have done, but if they can get some publicity, this is not a joke. People are dying.

People are dying – because they eat big cupcakes, Sir Bloomie?  And his argument, “People are dying” has got to be the WORST argument there is – it assumes that these three little words is complete justification for Government to slap anything out of your hands that could do you harm.  It IS a signature line of totalitarians everywhere that have decided that your life is merely one that belongs to Government.
