Wouldn't it be great to be confident that the whole NYC school control thing is being deliberated on it's merits?

Right.

FU Dicker of the NY Post says it all boils down to a racial thing for the Senate Democrats:

"They see Bloomberg as a white Manhattan billionaire who thinks he can boss everyone around and they don't like it," said a top Senate Democrat.

As everybody here knows, we don't happen to like Mayor Mike either. But it just never occurred to us to not like him because he's white. Or has a Jewish surname. For the record, we think he's a controlling and petulant hypocrite. And a really, really lousy sore loser.  But that's got absolutely nothing to do with who should be running the city schools.

Here's a very unbold prediction: Any elected official or coalition of elected officials that predicates public policy on personal racial enmity will not last.  This is almost too stupidly self-evident to have to type.

If Dicker's got his facts straight, any real wonder the Malcolm Sampson IPO got delisted in less than six months? 

Yet, somewhere in South Florida another controlling, petulant--and white!--billionaire smiles as he awaits more bush-league belly-flops from Malcolm Sampson Enterprises.  As such, we've gone ahead and prepared a special annotated road map of South Florida for these two so they can get their racial resentment to the right white billionaire.
