Bloomberg To Choke On A Pretzel If Prayers Are Answered.


Bloomberg has got to go. Dear Lord, I pray that you make Bloomberg choke on a pretzel. Why do I pray that the salty breaded treat gets lodged in the little midget's esophagus, you may ask? Because super-taxation, scandal-laden, nanny-state enforcer Michael Bloomberg is about to embark on another crusade against smoking, and this one will be enforced in outdoor areas. No smoking in parks. No smoking on beaches. Why? Because of the children. Think of the innocent children! They shouldn't be exposed to such awful and terrible behavior.

It's no wonder why our children are such pussies as they grow up. What happened to mothers and fathers being the final authority about what a child is or is not exposed to? Who ever mandated the power for government to control the stimuli that our children encounter as they grow? It's bullshit. BULLSHIT! It is not a health issue. There is absolutely no evidence that second-hand smoke harms. And if you really want to deter children from smoking, having some brown toothed smoker hacking phlegm all over Union Square would be the first impetus that may stop a child from picking up a cigarette.

Prohibition didn't work for alcohol, and it is not going to work for tobacco products either. This is the danger that Bloomberg poses to civil liberties. Just because his personal preference is not to smoke, it doesn't mean that he gets to foster his beliefs and biases onto the people of New York. It is wrong and unconstitutional, and it obviates the idea of personal responsibility. Bloomberg must go!

Now, who wants to dress up as a Disney character and join me for a smoke outside of City Hall?

Bloomberg gearing for a FOURTH term????

What a douche! On a radio address to NYC, Mayor Bloomberg who recently pushed the City Council so he could gain the ability to run for a third term slips up and mentions plans for what he would try to accomplish in a fourth term. He later swears that he has no intention to run for a fourth term and says that the law will not allow that. Does he think we forgot that the NYC law didn't allow a third term and he had earlier sworn that he had no interest in extending his rule? He can NOT be trusted, this man. Mayor Bloomberg must be evicted from office.

Mother of all Bums!


One of the most important things that keeps power away from those who wish to accumulate it is the idea of term limits. After 9/11, then Mayor Rudolph Giuliani wished to seek a third term (only two terms were allowed in NYC), rationalizing that only he could see NYC through the horrible terror attacks. Bloomberg, wishing to achieve that post for himself, derided Giuliani, saying that no one person was indispensable. Yet two terms later and here we have Mike Bloomberg rewriting city law to allow him to run for mayor yet again, saying that only he has the ability to see NYC through these financial crises. Afraid of loosing his power, Mike browbeat the City Council into allowing a third term, which in November he is running for.

Yet despite this obvious quest for more power, and his scandal surrounding the Deutsche Bank Fire, Bloomberg is unleashing his insurmountable war chest to gain reelection. Yet perhaps people have become disgusted enough with Bloomberg that even his money wont be able to buy his way back. Recent polls have shown that his democratic opponent Bill Thompson is gaining some foothold and may become a viable adversary for Mayor Bloomberg.

While I am no advocate of Bill Thompson (He seems too much like a Robin Hood-redistribute-the-wealth type of guy for my likes), I find it even more offensive that Bloomberg has attempted to set himself up as Dictator of New York. Our first responsibility as voters is to throw out the bums, and I am branding Mike Bloomberg, despite his wealth, as the mother of all bums. Power is not meant to be abused, it is meant to be taken away, and I for one will attempt to do my part to take it away from Bloomberg.

I'll worry about Bill Thompson when he becomes the inevitable problem. But something tells me he'll be easier to depose than Mike. Maybe then, we'll have a prospect for mayor who actually cares about this city.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s lead over City Councilman Tony Avella (D-Bayside) and city Comptroller William Thompson in the bid for the city’s highest office has slimmed, although many city and Queens residents said they still do not know much about either of the mayor’s challengers, according to a new Quinnipiac poll...
