Roger to Board of Health: Stop Your Playin'
I've got to get off the crack or NY1 needs to stop giving Rog assignments that can be turned into silly headlines leaving our man wide open for the barbs of mean kids who come wielding electronic "Kick Me" notes. Case in point, this morning's Roger Report focussed on today's Board of Health meeting during which its members will vote on three things:
1. Banning trans fat: The government wants to get all up in your business
2. U Pick Yr Gender: The government says go ahead, get up in your own business.
3. Dogs, Their Leashes, and the People Who Hold Them: The government says that dogs can do their business, but only where it says so.
What an unfortunate trifecta of issues to have to get on a microphone and talk about. This is dinner theater at its very worst. In typical fashion, the man-on-the-street interviews also took a bizarre turn. My favorite was the older woman who - when asked for her feelings on the City's involvement in our food choices - responded "I've got oatmeal in my bag. I just want to know what I'm doing." So do we, honey.
Poor Rog - clad only in his barn jacket - looked extra sleepy today. Hopefully, he was able to get himself a nice trans fat-free doughnut and a warm cup of coffee to take the edge off.
