Proving once again that he's an idiot.

Dana Mathewson

New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo recently made a big stink about how, if a bar in his state wants to open and serve drinks, they must require customers to also purchase food. OK, Karl Marx; everything that isn't forbidden is now compulsory.

But it seems that Cuomo is now in the nutrition business. After announcing that it's not enough that the customer request a dish of peanuts or a bag of chips, it's not even enough to request one of New York's most iconic dishes: CHICKEN WINGS! Nope. You've got to order a sandwich.

Picture this, folks: you could (probably) go into a bar and order two slices of bread with a single leaf of lettuce between them, along with your beer, and be technically within the law. But you can't order that same beer and two dozen (or more) wings, accompanied by the traditional blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Think I'm kidding?

As Twitchy reported a week ago, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that New York bars and restaurants could sell alcohol, but only to people who also ordered food. Apparently the science was that people who drank alcohol only tended to loiter and not social distance as much or something.

Plenty suggested the idea of selling peanuts for a buck to take care of the food requirement, but Cuomo has made it somewhat clear whatâ€™s considered food and what isnâ€™t. Apparently ordering chicken wings with your beer doesnâ€™t count and bars will be closed down if they try to get away with it. You have to have at least a sandwich for it to count.

Remember, this all has to do with preventing the spread of COVID-19 while allowing businesses like bars to reopen. Eating a sandwich will keep you from getting the coronavirus, but chicken wings will not.

Go to the article here https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2020/07/23/science-gov-andrew-cuomo-says-chicken-wings-dont-count-as-food-in-meeting-coronavirus-rule-requirements/ for the whole thing. Really! There are a bunch of great tweets which will not reproduce on this site.

Reading this makes me want to order a whole bunch of wings from my favorite wing joint right now. I already have enough beer in the fridge.

1 As Bugs Bunny would say "what a maroon!"

What is it with liberals and micromanaging? What purpose does this serve?

BTW it used to be that way on Sundays in Missouri; only places that sold food could sell drinks. Restaurant bars did a land-office business on Sundays, and everyone ordered one appetizer to get their beers. Even then we didn't require an actual meal.

2 Ri-i-i-ight. And they didn't prescribe what you had to eat, did they? Cuomo seems to be in bed with the sandwich industry.

I really wonder if my idea about two slices of bread with a leaf of lettuce would fly?

3 Not a bad idea; bunny bread heels and a lettuce leaf for 29c and then you can drink all you want! Cuomo would probably devise a waste policy, where state agents came and checked the trash to make sure they weren't just throwing the sandwiches away.

I still don't see how he justifies this; what reasons does he give for demanding people order a full meal? What does it matter if you are eating or drinking? You're still in the company of other, posssibly infected people.

29 Did You Know the Benefits of an Emotional Support Animal? Imagine not having to pay pet fees or being able to bring any kind of breed to live with you during these difficult times. To do this, you simply need to acquire legitimate documentation from a licensed mental health professional to certify your pet as an emotional support animal (ESA). Unlike service animals or therapy animals, ESAs donâ€™t need to cost a fortune or undergo months of training to become certified. With an ESA Letter from Emotional Pet Support, you can have your emotional support dog or other pet live with you in your apartment, condo, townhouse, or other type of dwelling. ESA Letter
