Now, a fat tax on fast food?

I swear I’m gonna run for the border—of PA. (I’m close enough, why not.) Just when I thought there wasn’t anything more in this state to tax or cut from a budget. If iPod or anon comment or menu calorie warning bills weren’t enough for politicians to worry about, now NJ is mulling over an idea that’s waaaaaaaaay better: a tax for all you in between snack meal freaks. This in theory will help hospitals that are going to close because, well, they don’t have enough funds to operate because heart attack patients are ... clogging the hallways. (Ba. Da. Bing!)

If that’s the case, then I propose another bill: a surcharge on Ben Stiller and/or Dane Cook film rentals because they’re making us significantly less funny as a society.
