So he turned Times Square into a year-round outdoor cafe, but actual cafes can’t do this in the summer time?

This guy loves big, intrusive, tyrannical government more that the current president does.

And he’s supposedly a Republican

Option two is the key; a thinly veiled fundraiser for the city, via filing fees. Also a boon for lawyers since whatever the individual owner files won’t be “correct”.

No, Bloomberg is registered as an Independent. He may have run once on the Republican ticket which has more to do with convoluted election laws.

Most dangerous thing in NYC: Outdoor cafes serving Big Gulps.

Immigrating Muslims? No problem.

The RAT primary is always so loaded with candidates that there are always one or two of the RATs who "change" parties.

First, he's a RINO. Second, I live in the god-forsaken northeast, and there are very few conservatives. Democrats from red states are more conservative than the Republicans in the northeast. Like Lincoln Chaffe, my governor, Bloomberg IS a democrat hiding behind the GOP label.

Just in case you didn’t know, I caught a few minutes of MSNBC the other week telling me the front runner to replace Bloomberg is a woman named Christine Quinn, the Speaker of City Council.

She is an out in the open lesbian and so I leave it to you to consider her position on “hot dog stands”.

I seem to remember him switching parties when he ran for mayor because Rudy was so popular in NYC and he wanted to give the illusion that he was another Rudy.

Bloomberg is an ass.

I've been to NYC a few times, and I've eaten all over town. The best meals I've ever had were from sidewalk cafes and street vendors. The best knish I ever had-and I've had plenty-came out of a vendor's cart along a street in the shadow of the late, lamented WTC. It cost $2. I liked it so much I went back and bought two more. I've not met its equal, even in $$$$ gourmet bistros for ten times the price.

Did I mention that Bloomberg is an ass?

This guy’s sole goal is to get into absolutely everyone’s business and tell them EXACTLY how they must live. F***ing mack-insane control freak. He’d fit right in to the Nazi party about 7 decades ago.
