You know Obama has his eye on Texas Toast.
I’d prefer an amendment that simply banned Michael Bloomberg from:
1. Holding any public office
2. Opening his mouth in public
3. Being Michael Bloomberg
4. Being photographed without a diaper and nursing bottle in his hands
I’ll settle for any one of the above.
In 2014, how someone voted on “the Big Gulp Act” may determine how many low-information voters vote, and so determine control of the Senate. A new wedge issue comes of age.
