Nannies Escalate War on Soda
Channeling New York’s Nanny Mayor Michael Bloomberg, U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Connecticut, has now called for imposing a national sales tax on sodas and 10-percent fruit drinks, supposedly as a means to force poor people to improve their dietary habits. How long before DeLauro wages war on Little Debbie Nutty Bars? Can she resist slapping a surcharge on Ruffles? Or breaking off a piece of every Kit Kat for the federal bureaucracy?

Every Friday, Call Me Stormy will offer a new Trillion $ Movie (T$M) — certified platinum classics from the vaults of YouTube.

Released in 1965 by American International Pictures, it’s often cited as a major influence on Ridley Scott’s ALIEN, both visually and plotwise. So, pop yourself a bag of popcorn, top off a 32-ounce Slurpee in honor of Mayor Bloomberg, and enjoy.
