I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the picture of Mayor Michael Bloomberg consuming a hot dog at the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest weigh-in-ceremony. Does this man think before he actually does things?
He doesn't want us to buy a large soda that is 16 ounces or more because of the sugar and calories, but it's OK to sit down and eat 40-plus hot dogs in one sitting?
I think the winner of the contest, hands down, should be Mayor Bloomberg because he can not only eat the hot dog, but he can talk out of both sides of his mouth while he's doing it.
