Lighten up a bit
Let/s lighten up a bit here and take a look and see what is not only means to be totally stupid, but "politically correct" as well.
I/m sure many of you have heard about New York City/s Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and his anti-smoking policy that/s caused hardships and ruined many restaurants, bars and nightclubs even forcing some to close. The insulting part about Bloomberg is the fact he/s an ex-smoker himself.
Recently, in NYC the Rolling Stones were performing at a concert and it just so happened that Mick Jagger lit up on stage. When Bloomberg heard the news he went ballistic and tried to have Mick cited but the Rolling Stones had already left the area and couldn/t be located.
I can just see Mick standing still and being cited by the NYPD for something so stupid as this.
But Bloomberg doesn/t stop there. It seems these two guys in NYC were smoking outside on the sidewalk in front of their business. But once observed by Bloomberg/s infamous NYPD/s "smoke patrol Nazis" the two were both issued tickets. Not for smoking mind you, but for "loitering." Bloomberg, you/re not only one sick puppy, but how did you ever get elected? Bet it won/t happen again.
Folks, the above stupidity, insanity and being politically correct is going on right here in our very own backyard. It/s called Surf Beach! Nuff said.
