The Daily Currant: Bloomberg Refused Second Slice of Pizza at Local Restaurant

[Dr. Strange]

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was denied a second slice of pizza today at an Italian eatery in Brooklyn.

The owners of Collegno's Pizzeria say they refused to serve him more than one piece to protest Bloomberg's proposed soda ban, which would limit the portions of soda sold in the city.

Bloomberg was having an informal working lunch with city comptroller John Liu at the time and was enraged by the embarrassing prohibition. The owners would not relent, however, and the pair were forced to decamp to another restaurant to finish their meal.

1. lol always like to see the little guy get one over on the man.

[Enrique]

2. bummer

this is the problem with the Daily Currant's satire, I usually just feel tricked. This is something that easily could have happened, some restaurant could have done that, I'm just bummed that it turns out to be made up.

[loli phabay]

3. me too, would have loved this to be real.

[DonViejo]

4. Matt Drudge wishes it too...

5. well nothing wrong with agreement between people is there. regardless of other disagreements.

[DonViejo]

6. Nothing wrong with a little rationalization either, is there? nt

[loli phabay]

7. everything in moderation as they say.

[HiPointDem]

9. you're attacking him because drudge and he both wished it were true? what is it with the

bloomberg-lovers at DU?

[DonViejo]

11. So, now I'm a "Bloomberg lover" and "attacking" a comment? ...

What is it with some DU'ers, if someone questions another's thinking they are automatically an "Obama lackey," a "Bloomberg lover?"

[HiPointDem]

12. implicitly associating a poster with a winger isn't a question; it's a smear.

[DonViejo]

14. There's only one smear on Du...

and it's you, HiPointDem.

Cheers!

[HiPointDem]

17. speaks to you character.

[DonViejo]

19. If you're so bloody upset with my comment...

send it to a jury

[HiPointDem]

20. i didn;'t say i was upset; it's what i expect from people who go to smears & namecalling rather

than debate the facts.

16. Kissinger was happy the allies won WW2.

Kissinger was happy the allies won WW2. Are you in good company also, or do you wish the Axis had won?

Caligula was known to have breathed air... quite often. Are you in good company also, or do your gills prevent you cavorting with tyrants?


This is what happens we when discard logic for the convenient (yet ineffectual) rhetorical score to impress the kids at the back of the class-- we look like idiots, more so if it's pointed out to us and we simply dig in even stronger.

[DonViejo]

18. Matt Drudge wishes the comment were true because he ran with it...

as a BIG deal, honest to the gods, real, real story. Now, I'm suddenly a bad person because I pointed that out? So Tell me, how do you feel about Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren voting to end the FAA lay-offs?

8. ... i have heard from reliable sources that he does speak to people that way when he gets angry

"Look jackass," Bloomberg retorted, his anger boiling, "I fucking skipped breakfast this morning just so I could eat four slices of your pizza. Don't be a schmuck, just get back to the kitchen and bring out some fucking pizza, okay."

10. I hear there is a nice pizzaria in

Wasilla, Alaska.

[Dr. Strange]

15. I know that pizzaria!

You can see Russian pizza from it!

[Pelican]

13. I have only one question...

Where is graham?
