Apparently Disgusting Isn't as Disgusting As You Might Think

So Billionaire- Know -It- All-Nanny-To The-Unwashed-Masses-Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to run for a third term.

Apparently the United States can manage without George Bush in our War on Terror, War in Iraq and current economic crisis.

But not the people of the city of New York. No, those people need their very wealthy Mayor, the one who got those stupid poor people to stop eating trans fats and smoking in public, to get them through what he calls an economic "meltdown." It may be an economic meltdown, and things may be a wreck for a little while, but twice the people of the city of New York voted for term limits. Twice.

Oh, wait, he doesn't want to upend term limits you silly middle class Poland Spring drinking reader. No, no, the people voted for term limits in a referendum. Term limits shall remain. But why does it have to be only two terms? We won't change the term limit law, absolutely we will maintain term limits. Only, it should be THREE terms per Mayor, silly. Sheesh. Really, does anyone actually think there is ANYONE who could guide the city of New York out of a financial crisis other than this man? I see his point. No one could lead the city out of 9/11 after Rudy....oh, wait. Rudy left. Was he voted out? Oh, no. IT was term limits. Hmmm. Wait, did the city turn to dust? No. No it did Not.

So the man who whines his way through everything while telling people too bad, stop whining and ALWAYS knows what's best for everyone knows it now too. To hell with the law, or what the people want. Some will say let him run, if the people don't like it they don't need to vote for him. But that's the reason term limits were put in place in he first place. People like voting for the incumbent (though if G W Bush ran today, even against a grapefruit he'd probably lose, but he beat Kerry, so four years ago he totally proved this point). So after Bloomberg guides the city through a depression and builds more buildings with Trump, and makes sure that his imprint is on Ground Zero, then what? What crisis will come up four years down the line that will require his expert services again? Hmmm,well, let's see. If he has 12 years experience running the city how could any other candidate except maybe Edward I Koch, hope to possibly do the job nearly as well. So of course the city council will have to vote again. And that's the beauty of his plan. Council Speaker Christine Quinn can't block this, because then she looks like she's just doing it because she wants to run for Mayor. Not that she'd necessarily make a good Mayor, but who knows?

He's obviously done a lot of good for teh city, and I like that he said a lot of today's financial crisis comes from an inability to wait in a society of must have, and more importantly must have NOW.

Either way, it's late, some of my kids are sick, and if I don't get to bed now, I expect to have a knock on my door any minute from you know who.
