Mayor Bloomberg Part 3?
We’re not done with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg yet…
It should be no surprise to anyone that the great populist, and self-proclaimed man of the people, “Mayor Mike” Bloomberg, is plotting, and so far successfully scheming, to overturn term limits in New York City. So that he can remain king for as long as he damned well pleases. Sure, he’s citing the current economic crisis as the rationale for this assault on democracy. And if it wasn’t this, then I guarantee that it would be something else. The fact that the city’s voters have twice voted in overwhelming numbers for term limits is, to a plutocrat like Bloomberg, startlingly irrelevant. As it also is to the big business and real estate interests who he perennially shills for.
And why should he feel otherwise? After all, he’s got a total lock on the media, both print and electronic. Hmm, these journalistic vanguards of the public good, awash in their own self-righteousness, are nothing more than trained seals, mindlessly barking Mayor Mikes’ blessings. And that even includes what was formerly known as the newspaper of record, the New York Slimes. And you thought that John Gotti was Teflon? Gimme a break. The National Enquirer has more integrity than the entire spate of New York media outlets.
The good ole’ Sheeple, and that’s really all of us, passively permit this travesty to continue. I mean, they tell us that most New Yorkers say that Mayor Mike is doing a great job. Of course, they can never cite any one specific thing that he’s done for us. Except ban transfats, force Snapple vending machines into City offices, and cramming more and more fancy housing units for the rich into already overcrowded areas, so that we’ll all end up feeling as if we live in a roach motel. All, by the way, under the guise of ‘going green’.
Can you imagine the sheer arrogance, the pomposity, the unctuousness of this wanna be Banana Republic dictator? Hey, and even if he didn’t look like the constipated, middle aged money-grubbing asshole that he is, he would still look distinctively third rate. Yet and still, Mayor Mike’s notorious nannyism, like his bloated ego, knows no bounds. After all, he knows what’s best for us-he said so himself.
Imagine the absolute absurdity of thinking that, in a city of over eight million people, only one man, one man, can lead the people. Sorry to say, but we’ve heard it all before. In a smoke-filled, cheap Munich beer hall, where a comedic character in an ill-fitting brown uniform ranted and demanded power. And no one stopped him either…
