RUN, MIKE, RUN (and keep going)

So, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg quit the Republican Party today after six years of calling himself a Republican and acting like no such animal. He was a lifelong Democrat before changing stripes in 2001, but as far as anyone with any political sense could see, the change was only in registration.

You can take the boy out of the Democratic Party, but you can’t take the Democratic Party out of the boy.

He has changed his status as a registered voter to being “unaffiliated to any political party.”

He said Tuesday, when asked about a presidential run, that he will be Mayor for the next 926 days.

Yeah, yeah, yeah…and the Clintons are honest and I don’t like girls. Sure, Mike. It’s the world’s worst kept secret that you, in only a matter of time, will leave the People’s Republic of New York and make a run for President as an Independent.

He talks much of his nonpartisanship which he says helps him to successfully run New York. I guess if everyone in town is to the left of Mao, then you could call it nonpartisan.

Good luck, Mike. You certainly won’t be the first Independent windbag demagogue to lose a presidential bid. Remember Ross the Boss? Sorry, I just can’t mention that guy without saying…What a whack job!



I had to give Ann Coulter her due and chuckle when she wrote; “President Bush was so buoyed by the warm reception he was given in Albania that he immediately gave all three million Albanians American citizenship, provided they learn Spanish. The offer was withdrawn when Bush found out most Albanians haven’t broken any U.S. laws.”



The Vatican on Tuesday issued “10 Commandments” for good motorists. I hope my son isn't reading this, because I think I broke every one of them before I was 19 years old. I would put this in the “I shit you not!” category, but this is the Vatican, for Allah’s sake.
