NYC To Ban Cooking Oils
They were given an inch, now they are attempting to take the mile.
NYC health officials are now considering a ban on. . . artificial trans fatty oils. I'm not making this up:

First the ban on smoking in public, now this. If it passes I'm sure it will spread to other cities/states. Thank God all these people are out there looking out for our best interests. I can't wait to see what they try and regulate next.

Yes, this is crazy, but for me the all-time example of retardation was New Jersey's so-called Runny Egg Law. Then again, it was New Jersey, so why should I be surprised?

They're regulating cigarrettes and cooking oils now, but their ultimate goal is to regulate wages through wealth-transfer schemes like minimum wage laws and luxury taxes.
Their power-hunger is enourmous.

A hilarious coincidence (well, mildly amusing at least):
I was just talking to someone about this topic and she said "Some guys just wrote a book about all the stupid laws in the US, they went around the country finding dumb laws and breaking them. The just published a book about it."
So I say, "Huh, that's an interesting idea I guess". Then she points out that they got the idea from "some stupid law in New Jersey", but she couldn't remember what it was.
Now I guess I know. The Runny Egg Law, I'm betting. Good call Quinn.

You can't pimp your own gas in Joisey, but you can pump your sister.

Well. . . unless one of the guys has a really hot sister, of course. . .

*Shreik!*
Did I really type "pimp" your own gas? I meant "pump", but the meaning got through.
Yah, last I heard the statutory law in Joisey was lacking in some respects. Of course, in 1932, the legal age of consent in Delawhere was 8, which answers a lot of questions about that state.
I was raised in Massachusetts (Massivetwoshits) and was amazed at the number of guys I knew that would say "A virgin? Really? I thought you had sisters!". Scary, scary reality.

The ban makes sense. Trans fats are poison. Cigarettes should be outlawed, period.
