Shut Up, Bloomberg!

Well, our cranky little mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has been shooting his mouth off again about the current mayoral race and other things and has shown, once again, how truly out of touch he is with people in general.  Aside from his insults against Bill DeBlasio and his family, according to Bloomberg, you're not poor if you have air conditioning or a car.  It doesn't matter if the air conditioner you have is a cheap window until that's ten years old or if your car is a junker you need to get you to your minimum-wage job at Wal-Mart, you're rich, son! I guess to be poor in Bloomie's world you have to be running barefoot through the streets and digging through garbage cans for your next meal.  Uh, I think most rational people understand that being poor in Somalia and being poor in New York are two entirely different things, but both places have people in poverty.  I long for the day when Bloomberg is out of power so the media will stop publishing his supposed words of wisdom.  Election day can't come too soon.  If DeBlasio does become the Democratic nominee for mayor, he'd better watch out because, I suspect, Bloomberg will throw a ton of money at the Republican candidate (likely Joe Lhota) to try and defeat him.  I can see the ads now showing New York as some crime-ridden, drug-infested city out of the 70s and 80s if DeBlasio is elected mayor.  Once the Bloomberg machine gets cranked up, it'll be hard to stop it. DeBlasio had better get ready for the wrath of Mike because he's not going to go gently into that good night.
