Mayor Michael BloombergYes, Anthony Weiner could be elected Mayor
In my opinion, it was a very smart political move by Anthony Weiner as he "tests the waters" for a possible campaign for Mayor.
What You Talkin' 'Bout, Mikey?
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg...do you season your foot before you stick it in your mouth? Before I go off, let me state here, for the record, that I actually relished the idea of your becoming the mayor of New York City after the mess Rudulph Giuliani made of things. I knew that you couldn't be bought; not with the finances at your command. What I, and the rest of New York City, didn't count on, was for you to sit in Gracie Mansion, and all of a sudden decide that you're the HNIC.
The Ghost Of Room Eight Is Back, Baby! Yes, There's More Content!
I was having serious issues in dealing with the non-presence of Room Eight. This blog worked as a release valve for many things, notably, the "incident" of last year which is still ongoing. If I had been the litigious sort - well, suffice it to say that I would have never had the experience in the first bloody place. I have never discussed an incident of decades past, which involved a glow-in-the-dark Jason mask and the D train. The long and short of it is...if I were the sort who sues at the drop of a hat, I would never have to work again a day in my life.

New York's Bravest Deserve Better
Quick one today, dear readers - I think that our firefighters are getting a raw deal. These guys run into buildings to rescue our loved ones when things have gone horribly awry...don't you think they deserve more than the shoddy treatment that they've received thus far? I, for one, would not relish the thought of not knowing if the place that would become my second home could be phased out with no regard whatsoever to my performance on the job.
6,100 Teachers. Looks like Bloomberg wasn't bluffing, but will the Council stand up to him?
Historically, layoffs are often threatened as a budgetary bargaining chip. In other words, the mayor basically yells what amounts to “fire” in a crowded theater, and more often than not, the money surfaces from the State or Washington, and the bad news is avoided. (layoffs in this case) However this time, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is not bluffing, and for the first time since the 1970’s, public school teachers are looking at pick slips. A loss of 6,166 teachers, including an anticipated 4,100 layoffs.

Bloomberg has the right to appoint Cathleen Black Schools Chancellor
