New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was denied a second slice of pizza today at an Italian eatery in Brooklyn.

The owners of Collegno's Pizzeria say they refused to serve him more than one piece to protest Bloomberg's proposed soda ban,which would limit the portions of soda sold in the city.

Bloomberg was having an informal working lunch with city comptroller John Liu at the time and was enraged by the embarrassing prohibition. The owners would not relent, however, and the pair were forced to decamp to another restaurant to finish their meal.

Witnesses say the situation unfolded when as the two were looking over budget documents, they realized they needed more food than originally ordered.
"Hey, could I get another pepperoni over here?" Bloomberg asked owner Antonio Benito.

"I'm sorry sir," he replied, "we can't do that. You've reached your personal slice limit."

Mayor Bloomberg, not accustomed to being challenged, assumed that the owner was joking.

"OK, that's funny," he remarked, "because of the soda thing ... No come on. I'm not kidding. I haven't eaten all morning, just send over another pepperoni."

"I'm sorry sir. We're serious," Benito insisted. "We've decided that eating more than one piece isn't healthy for you, and so we're forbidding you from doing it."

"Look jackass," Bloomberg retorted, his anger boiling, "I [censored] skipped breakfast this morning just so I could eat four slices of your pizza. Don't be a schmuck, just get back to the kitchen and bring out some [censored] pizza, okay."

"I'm sorry sir, there's nothing I can do," the owner repeated. "Maybe you could go to several restaurants and get one slice at each. At least that way you're walking. You know, burning calories."

Witnesses say a fuming Bloomberg and a bemused Liu did indeed walk down the street to a rival pizzeria , ordered another slice and finished their meeting.

Which is a large part of what makes the ban so stupid. If someone still wants to drink 46oz or whatever, they'll just get multiple smaller servings. This doesn't stop anyone from doing anything, just puts an annoying speed bump in the way.

But then, if we didn't have Rap to show us just HOW idiotic and stupid the extreme right can be, we might forget...er...no, I guess that's not possible, is it, given we get daily reminders:

South Carolina Christian School Is The Source Of The Crazy 4th Grade ‘Science’ Test

The image above has recently been making the rounds on all the social sites. I first saw it last week and it was good for a facepalm or two but I was a little suspicious, as we all should be when this sort of thing pops up in the social media nowadays. After appearing in my feed a few times it faded away and I thought nothing more of it.

Today, it was in my Snopes report email so I clicked on the link to find out if my suspicions had been correct. I was surprised to find that the image was real. And there was another page to the test. So, it became legitimate news and here we are.

The test was purported to be a 4th grade quiz from a private school in South Carolina. After some digging by Snopes and others, and a confirmation from Answers In Genesis president Ken Ham, we now know that the school is the Blue Ridge Christian Academy in the Greenville area.

Needs to be noted too, that Pirate News ( so surprise there!) and EvilDinosaur, went along with Raptroll in approving the action of the pizza guy, before the story got exposed as a fraud.

Looks like we can add ED's name to the list of right wing Tools.

And of course, we COULD ask who were the MANY, many assholes in government who ARE TELLING women how to live, what their children learn in school, what they can do with their own bodies, and who they can work for (if they want contraceptive coverage), and on and on and on... But again, that don't fit the tight narrative, so he wouldn't hear it.

Rap just gave us all a good laugh; given that's all he's good for, it's enough for me.
