New York City Salt Ban Proposed

The timing on this is uncanny (St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner), but a bill has been introduced in the New York Legislature to ban the use of salt in preparation of food in New York City restaurants.

The bill, proposed by Assemblyman Felix Ortiz (D-Brooklyn), would fine restaurants $1000 for using salt in the preparation of food.  This applies regardless of where the food is to be consumed (in the restaurant or take out).

I couldn’t imagine a trip to New York City without a stop in a local deli for a reuben. How could anyone propose such an obsurd bill in a city full of fine quisine? Yet another sad sign of how personal responsibility no longer exists.

Healthcare Debacle Summary

I honestly have no idea where this started, but I’ve seen it a couple places across the net now. It seems to be the best summary out there on where we are on this health care debacle and how we got there.

Republicans: Hey guys, since it’s May 2009, here’s a bunch of our ideas on health care reform.
Democrats to Republicans: La La La We can’t hear you.
Democrats to the public: Those Republicans have no ideas.
Republicans to the public: Yes we do.
Democrats to the public: Hey, ignore those guys over there. Look, squirrel!
Democrats: Hey look at how many new taxes we can come up with!
Public: Screw you, we hate your new taxes and we don’t want your health insurance mandate.
Democrats: Oh crap, we don’t have the votes in our own caucus to pass this. Can’t we find a way to blame Republicans for our own failures?
Republicans: No sir. You’re not sticking us with your crap sandwich that even your own caucus won’t eat.
Democrats: Fine. Then let’s talk about some of those ideas that we’ve been lying about for the better part of a year and telling everyone that you never had.
Republicans: OK. Let’s put aside this crap sandwich you came up, and let’s look at this salad of options we gave you before you even started drafting your bills last year.
Democrats: Hmmm…we’ll take a piece of lettuce from your salad and put it on top our crap sandwich to dress it up a little bit. Now swallow it.
Republicans:Ummmm…in case you hadn’t noticed. It’s still a crap sandwich even if you put a piece of lettuce on it, so..yeah..we’re gonna take a pass on that. But hey, enjoy eating that crap sandwich without us. Don’t forget to wipe your mouth when you’re through. See you in November!

Take Away Al Gore’s Oscar?

The Las Angeles Times is reporting that two Academy members, Roger L. Simon and Lionel Chetwynd, are asking the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to recall the Oscar that Al Gore won in 2007 for “An Inconvenient Truth”.  Of course, there is no way that such a demand will result in any action in the liberal world that is Hollywood, but it is humorous to see.  Simon and Chetwynd are Conservatives in Hollywood, something that is much more endangered than polar bears.

Anyone interested in seeing the leaked information for themselves can go to http://www.climate-gate.org/ (though you may a difficult time connecting since the site has been the victim of denial of service attacks by devout followers of the green religion).  The bits that have been highlighted are pretty damning, from hiding or skewing data to colluding to prevent studies contrary to manmade global warming doctrine from being published.

John Stewart on Climategate

Even John Stewart sees how Climategate exposes the fraud that is “Global Warming”. It’s a shame that Democrats such as Barbara Boxer are more interested in investigating the leak than what the leak exposed.
