Mayor Mike Bloomberg has crowned himself Emperor of New York. Insiders suggest he may already be planning an invasion to gain lands in nearby Nassau County.

babyh hits on a key point. With term limits, many potential candidates for mayor don't have enough time to gain the experience needed to govern the city effectively.

Pardon my French but who the f**k does this guy think he is? I'm really getting more than fed up of rich f**ckers who act as if their word means anything other than "blah-blah-blah". That goes for Bloomberg as well as cry-baby Lauder (and throw in about a million others as well). Rich people are already rich. They already have everything I can never have but that's not enough, is it? They have to make the lives of the have-nots even more miserable by flapping their gums.

BBAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! What a rube Ronald Lauder is! Bloomberg's people got him to go public supporting a one-time exception to term limits and then they stuck the knife in his back and he had to do a total about face. He must be feeling pretty stupid today.

Once it happens once it's always going to happen again. Bloomberg is fast turning into a douche.

If there's anyone who keeps to their word about making major changes to the rules "just this once," it's governmental agencies. Amirite, folks?

prediction: rich people will get what they want, and convince a bunch of poor NYers that it's in their interest.
