The Food Police: San Francisco Officials Ban Happy Meals With Veto Proof Majority Vote

Comments Off on The Food Police: San Francisco Officials Ban Happy Meals With Veto Proof Majority Vote

What’s next.. the toy in the cereal box? How about cracker Jax?
It seems the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has accomplished what the Hamburglar never could. They’ve made off with McDonald’s fare.
The supes today passed an ordinance that will require meals to meet nutritional guidelines if restaurants wish to include a toy with the food purchase.
More importantly, the supes passed the so-called “Happy Meal Ban” by an 8-3 vote — meaning it can survive a promised veto from Mayor Gavin Newsom. That’s right: San Francisco done banned the Happy Meal. Robble robble.
All along, the critical vote on Supervisor Eric Mar’s ordinance belonged to Supervisor Bevan Dufty — you could label him the city’s Burger Kingmaker. For weeks, Dufty refused to disclose which way he was leaning. Now we know.
It’s an interesting choice for a mayoral candidate running as a pro-business moderate. But it’s not a decision that was arrived at lightly. Dufty’s office began to resemble a McDonald’s, actually: Billions and billions of stakeholders served.
Then again, local young people have rated the toys found in happy meals as “sucky.” So it’s not such a grand haul.

Comments Off on News Flash – Obama and Holder Hold News Conference on Beheading in Arizona
Nov 012010
President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder held a a news conference this morning on the beheading in Arizona by suspected Mexican drug gangs. President Obama said: “Look folks…this whole thing is being overblown, just another GOP effort to stoke the fires of anti-immigrant fervor. Our initial investigation shows this was not a “murder” at all…I’ll have Holder speak to the details…”
Attorney General Holder stated: “This was not a murder by Mexicans. The gentleman who passed away apparently choked on a chicken bone and several of his undocumented immigrant friends who were visiting from across the border tried to give him a tracheotomy…unsuccessfully. This is a very delicate operation and apparently his friends lacked the training to do it successfully and accidentally severed his head in the process. These immigrants are not murderers, they are victims who should be given a life saving medal for their heroic efforts”.
President Obama then continued: “Because of their heroic, but unsuccessful efforts, I am committing a billion dollars to training basic lifesaving techniques, in Spanish, to undocumented aliens. Without training these kinds of accidents will happen and it was an unnecessary tragedy that we are responsible for…had we trained our visitors before this mans life may have been saved. I am going to give the Presidents Medal to all three gentleman who heroically tried to save this man…however, they are all back in Mexico…we fully expect them to come back across the border in a day or two so as soon as we can contact them we will have a News Conference to award them for their heroic efforts.”
