Bloomberg is out of control



As I've written before, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg thinks he has the right to control residents. Under his new law, pizza parlors are now forbidden from delivering two liter soda bottles along with pizzas in New York. What's next? No blue cheese? From the New York Post...

Typically, a pizzeria charges $3 for a 2-liter bottle of Coke. But under the ban, customers would have to buy six 12-ounce cans at a total cost of $7.50 to get an equivalent amount of soda.

“It’s ludicrous,” said Robert Bookman, a lawyer for the New York City Hospitality Alliance. “It’s a sealed bottle of soda you can buy in the supermarket. Why can’t they deliver what you can get in the supermarket?”

Even places like Chuck E. Cheese will no longer be able to sell pitchers of soda at children's birthday parties under Bloomberg's draconian rules. I try to advocate good health, but when did it become the government's job to tell it's citizens how to live? Bloomberg is a tyrant who cannot even plow the street's of his city after a minor snowfall. But he thinks it's governments' job to tell people how to live. The scary part?: He wants to be our next President.

Bloomberg signs donut proclamation and bans sugary drinks in the same day





 New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg thinks just because he's rich, he can tell the rest of us how to live. Bloomberg made news this week when he proposed banning large soda drinks from stores, restaurants, and movie theaters. While Bloomberg could concern himself with battling poverty or improving our economy, he has chosen the role of Big Brother. 


In the ultimate act of hypocrisy, Bloomberg signed a declaration making yesterday National Doughnut Day in New York. Not surprisingly, Governor Cuomo, who is a huge benefactor of Bloomies money pulled a Pontius Pilate and said he would not override this blatant violation of New Yorkers' rights. One consumer group was so upset by Bloomberg's ban, they took out a full page ad in the New York Times with him wearing a dress.

Why doesn't Bloomberg ban buffets and all you can eat restaurants next? What about chicken wings? They're bad for you, too. Bloomberg should worry about simple things like removing snow from New York's streets after  three inch snowfalls. Could you imagine how scary it would be if this little tyrant became President?

What happens when one buys leadership...

Very good article by Andrew "Woodward" Blake on New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's attempts to intimate the press for covering the Occupy Wall Street protests. Here is a quote from one of Bloomberg's sycophants...

“Not being familiar with many of the media outlets for which The Awl says these reporters work, I had the list of ‘26 arrested reporters’ checked against the roster of reporters who hold valid NYPD press passes,” Loeser adds. “You can imagine my surprise when we found that only five of the 26 arrested reporters actually have valid NYPD-issued press credentials.”

With that sentence alone, Loeser manages to shoot himself in the foot. Twice.

Given his statement, Bloomberg’s office has indeed confirmed that at least five members of the media that were accredited by the City’s own police force were arrested while doing their job, a job that the Police Department has acknowledged and authorized. Secondly, Loeser attempts to discredit the media while at the same time exposing that he didn’t do his homework himself.

As usual, Bloomberg comes off as a deer caught in headlights when it comes to governing. It's no wonder his mayoral run is being compared to that of the perennially underachieving David Dinkins. Our sources tell us that Bloomberg also drinks "1%" milk. Coincidence?...

Bloomberg makes fool of himself-again






New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg should keep his mouth shut and stick to the one thing he's good at-writing checks. Bloomberg traveled to Washington last week and lectured the federal leaders on living within their means. The only problem? New York City's capital debt has almost doubled under Bloomberg since 2000. From the Associated Press...

NEW YORK — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has urged the federal government to live within its means. But at the same time, the city's capital debt has nearly doubled since 2000.

The debt has risen from $39.2 billion in 2000 to $73.5 billion in 2011, the New York Post reported Sunday (http://nyp.st/vMmH34 ). That's $8,763 per New Yorker.

Last week, Bloomberg gave a speech in Washington urging the federal government to move quickly to reduce its deficit.

Born with a silver foot in his mouth, Bloomberg should worry about his city's ability to fight three inch snow "storms". This man is so out of touch with the common citizen, it's ridiculous. The only borough Bloomberg can relate to is Manhattan. Leadership positions in America can now officially be bought. As Bloomberg proves on a daily basis, competence is not a requirement.

I thought this was funny story. A truck driver from Virginia was arrested in New York City while crossing the George Washington Bridge. New York City burglar Michael Bloomberg charges trucks a $65 toll to cross the bridge. The truck driver came up with a James Bond-like contraption. As he went through the unmanned toll, he pressed a switch connected to a cable that flipped his license plate over. Unfortunately, a police officer noticed the plate flipping back and arrested him...

Nelson Vaquiz of Beaverdam, Va., was arrested on charges of using a cable in his truck cab to flip up his front license plate while going through a gateless toll lane on Interstate 95 without a toll transponder, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said Thursday. Vaquiz had also bent up his rear plate so it couldn't be read by cameras, police said.

Bloomberg is the one who should be arrested for charging motorists that kind of money to cross a bridge. He's terrible.

New York's Mayor Burns


Looks like these are tough times for New York City's elitist mayor. From the Associated Press...

NEW YORK (AP) - A new poll says New York City voters are unhappy with Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday says that 51 percent of voters interviewed disapprove of the job Bloomberg is doing. Those who approve are at 39 percent.

I can't imagine why? He's incompetent, arrogant, and talks down to regular New Yorkers. His latest comment on Buffalo was not a slip up. The Manhattan resident clearly thinks he is better than everyone around him, simply because he was born into wealth. Could you picture this imbecile as President?

Angry Urkel


I have to take Deputy Mayor Brown's side on this one. New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is an elitist tool, who has basically bought his way into a leadership position. Once in this position, he has proven time and time again to be a miserable failure. He says the dumbest things on a pretty consistent basis. He only represents a select few from Manhattan and not the rest of New York City. His efforts at snow removal were laughable. They were finding dead New Yorkers in the snow, two weeks after the storm hit. For a man with Presidential aspirations, he keeps putting his foot into his mouth.

Assemblyman Sam Hoyt loves Bloomberg's money. He's the first one to say Bloomberg "misspoke." He didn't misspeak. He said exactly what he was thinking. The fact that Sam Hoyt is his Western New York spokesman, speaks to Bloomberg's incompetence. Who would pick a fool like Hoyt to speak for them? Here is Deputy Mayor Brown's well publicized hissy fit. He never talked like this when he was on Family Matters...

Bloomberg fails in snow removal efforts


Remember this summer when New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg was all over the media saying Carl Paladino didn't have what it took to lead? New York City got hit with a snowstorm last week and four days later, it's streets still weren't plowed. Bloomberg told the residents to "relax and take in a Broadway show." Not exactly Jimmy Griffin. This might have went over well in Manhattan, but not in the other four Burroughs, where the people found his comment out of touch. I'm surprised he didn't tell them to eat cake. New York City bloggers are posting photos of uncleared streets, while Bloomberg's elitist Manhattan street is plowed down to the pavement.

When faced with a two term limit a few years ago, Bloomberg was able to bribe some councilmembers to change the law, so he could remain mayor. We're giving him our 2010 Deer Trapped in Headlights Award for this press conference on the city's abysmal snow removal efforts. Let's see if the rich guy can buy his way out of this one. Why doesn't he just call Fred Dicker? I thought those two clowns had the answers to everything...

Mayor Bloomberg's rant


Did you see NY City mayor Michael Bloomberg's outrageous comments regarding cigarette sales on Indian reservations? He said David Paterson should grab a cowboy hat and a shotgun and stand in the middle of the thruway, if they start burning tires:

Now, why every governor, and I've said this to David Paterson, I said, you know, get yourself a cowboy hat and a shotgun. If there's ever a great video it's you standing in the middle of the New York State Thruway saying, you know, 'Read my lips: The law of the land is this and we're going to enforce the law,'" Bloomberg said on WOR radio.

So, what would the NY press say if Carl Paladino had said the same thing? They would be having a field day. They'd be demanding apologies and calling him insensitive to all ethnic groups. I guess it's not always what is said but who says it and whose pockets they are lining...
