Michael Bloomberg obviously knows a lot about making money, even about the politics of Manhattan, where his money speaks in the loud and unctuous voice liberals love. But he doesn’t know diddly about life where the rest of us live it.
He threw a tantrum after Barack Obama’s gun-control bill crashed and burned in Congress, stamping his polished wingtips on his Persian carpets, nursing a pout and behaving like a 3-year-old with a broken toy. This was excusable in a 3-year-old, but it’s not the behavior you expect of the nanny.
When the wah-wah and the bitter tears subsided, the mayor of New York set out to fix everything with his billions. His money fixed the election laws in New York, so why couldn’t his billions similarly manipulate a few elections in flyover country?
His honor, the fourth (or fifth) richest man in the world (not that there’s anything wrong with that), is nevertheless a man of the people who rides the subway to work, although according to The New York Times two police department SUVs take him to a station some distance from his manse on East 79th Street so he can take the express train downtown. Doesn’t everyone commute that way? He has other houses, in London, Bermuda and Vail, one or two closer to the streetcar line. Doesn’t everyone?
His Honor just doesn’t like guns. Guns, like a 16-ounce bottle of soda pop, frighten him. That’s why he has a police detail to shadow him everywhere he goes, lest a wild Slurpee lunge at him from the shadows. Doesn’t everyone?
The nanny, like the shadow, knows the evil that lurks in the hearts of men, so he set out to punish several congressmen who he thinks particularly deserve a good spanking.

Bloomie’s about to step in it again...his brilliant idea for time-sharing bicycles all over NYC is just getting started, and it will no doubt be a fiasco. Not gettigng much national attention, but nypost.com is having fun with it almost every day..
Big Nanny and N.Y. City Mayor Michael Bloomberg paid for an Arkansas TV ad that bashes Arkansas Democrat Senator Mark Pryor because he didn’t vote for the stupid Democrat gun law. Bloomberg, with more money than brains, helped the likely Republican challenger to Pryor because Arkansas is a Second Amendment state and the Republican, a recent veteran, attorney and Harvard Law grad is very gun-friendly, just like most folks in Arkansas. This ad makes a fool out of the shrimp Mayor who paid for it out of his billions.
For Nanny Blommy, AR is fly AROUND country.
All those bikes will end up in Mexico or even farther away...
They tried the bike share thing at Purdue when my daughter was up there. Lasted about a month LOL.
