Michael Bloomberg hospitalized after assault by Mary Poppins.

Mary Poppins landed in NYC today to put the hurt on Michael Bloomberg
 as she believes the pro-business-deregulation mayor's proposal
to regulate citizen's soda pop intake to be something quite atrocious. 

"How dare you make such a mockery of the nanny state!" the famed childcare professional was heard to cry, as she felled the diminutive mayor with repeated blows of her umbrella.  Poppins is irate that the billionaire mayor, who believes that big business and big banks should be deregulated, is now cutting off Big Gulps for the masses of Gotham, insisting that individual citizens not be allowed to regulate their own sugar intake. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/31/nyregion/bloomberg-plans-a-ban-on-large-sugared-drinks.html?_r=1&hp



"They can have a spoonful of sugar until the unemployment goes down," the mayor moaned.  "But only one teaspoon."  

A spokesman for Mayor Bloomberg
noted that community leaders
were already expressing support.
"The Soup Nazi has called
to offer his congratulations."
