Mayor Bloomberg is an Asshole - Part 2

Yes, I chided Bloomberg once before when on the date of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attack he chose to announce that there just wasn't enough room at the memorial service for all the first responders because the dignitaries were more important. Yea, you know, the President, the Governors, all those. He made room for families but pissed off all the cops, firefighters and medics who were there that day. They too want to pay their respects and he thumbed his nose at them. "Another time, another place," he said.

He GOT ASSHOLE OF THE YEAR AWARD from me.

There's a special kind of stupid when you're a liberal with a lot of money. Not that having a lot of money is a bad thing. Hey, I'm a firm believer in capitalism. It's what America's all about. I just don't believe in the government poking its nose in my business. I don't want a nanny. I don't need to be saved from myself. Having some money and being a total asshole somehow also requires the need to be a nanny for all those people out there who don't know enough not to eat junk food or drink too much soda.
That's right, the notorious 'soda ban' goes in to effect next week. It's bad enough that the Mayor even thought up this totally moronic idea, what's worse is that other city officials agreed with it and signed it in to law. OY!

Bloomberg's twisted logic is that if we stop selling those huge liter bottles, people will stop drinking so much soda pop.
Who's going to enforce this pointless law? The Soda Police?
The only thing he has succeeded in doing is pissing off the consumer. The consumer will be paying more in the long run for soft drinks because Hizzoner the Asshole has outlawed a family value pack on a pizza night. It won't stop people from drinking soda any more than it will stop people from eating pizza. It just ain't gonna happen. What's next on his hit list? McDonald's? Pizza Hut? Burger King?

Who died and made him the supreme ruler of our dietary needs?  Does he drink soda or patronize any fast food establishments? I'm betting he does.
Mr. Mayor, can't you find something a little more important to do at city hall?

There's an End in Sight

When you hear the words, "it's complicated," take heed. There's generally a long story and you're often better off not having asked the question that elicited that particular response.

The adrenaline pumping action of being in law enforcement is that you can sit for hours doing nothing and then suddenly, all hell breaks lose. You hop from call to call without taking a breath. Some of the calls are complicated and intricate dramas starring some yet-to-be-discovered acting talent, some even making their premiere debut.
In fact, some of the acting is so well performed that it's often difficult to determine who the real liars, thieves and murderers are. As a law enforcement officer, it often takes years of practice to hone your talents as a producer and director of life's little dramas.
Shakespeare once said that, "all the world's a stage and we are merely players."  True dat.

Moving past this story's prologue, let me just cut to the chase...

These 3 characters are the lead players in the unfolding drama that centers around lies, drugs and guns.

Nothing new, right? Same old shit, different faces.

This little story is probably excellent fodder for one of those made for TV docudramas. It's a complicated web of deceit and bullshit.

The officer that wrote this report must be commended for his/her attention to detail and I'm sure  it will take a few snorts of a favorite alcoholic beverage to blur the memory of this.


It's a little lengthy, so grab a cold one and read this story.
