NYC councilman Joel Rivera has proposed using zoning laws to limit fast food restaurants in the city, saying that we need to do it for the children blah blah blah.

Why? Well, according to his CNBC interview, “People don’t have enough choices.” That’s right, folks: there’s not enough restaurant options in New York City. Wow.

UPDATE (8pm): And then there’s Sen. Rick Santorum (Army of Satan-PA), who stood up on the floor of the Senate and announced that the War in Iraq was really worth it, after all, because WE HAVE FOUND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

Okay. One problem. The WMDs were 500 abandoned mustard gas canisters that were left over from the Iran-Iraq war, which ended back in 1988. On top of that … the chemicals had degraded to the point where the worst it could do would be to give you a rash if you reached out and touched it. Well. Now I’m scared.

Hell, even Fox News’ left-wing patsy Alan Colmes was able to thoroughly embarass the Senator on the show where Sean Hannity allows him to sit at his anchor desk.

This reeks of desperation, as Santorum is, mercifully, down 18 points in recent polls in Pennsylvania. Thank goodness that this man will be out of power.
