The Nanny's latest crusade - in addition to those against guns, tobacco, and large sodas - is...sparklers. Because Terrorists.
Citing national security concerns and the war on terror, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg asked New York Gov. Michael Cuomo to ban the sale of children’s fireworks.
City officials worried that sparklers — handheld fireworks that emit colorful sparks and are often waved through the air by kids on the Fourth of July — could be used in terrorist attacks, according to The New York Post.
Ah, we've entered the frightening world of terror by sparkler.
It's surprising that he hasn't tried to ban air travel. Yet.
