the NY Post is Murdoch's own vanity production, same as Fox news.

Democratic Christine Quinn for Mayor of New York City, 2013.

Hah. The Post has been shilling for the mayor for years.

In fact Murdoch hates Bloomberg so much, he had his best buddy, Bloomberg schools chancellor Joel Klein do the cleanup work after the phone hacking scandal.

Bloomberg is a piece of shit. And Quinn, another of his stooges, who helped him overturn term limits is another.

It would be Ray Kelly the current police chief
and the new Police Chief will be William Bratton, the one who was Rudy Giliuani's police chief,
and then went to Los Angeles.
Don't know if you are aware of that.

The New York Post and Wall Street Journal are RUPERT MURDOCH's paper.
Rupert hates Mike because Bloomberg News is the liberal version of Murdoch's rightwing Fox.

And Mike will soon be the owner of the NY Times after his term is over.

What do you have against Christine Quinn? She will become the first woman mayor, and the first out Gay NY Mayor. Double history. And what a hard life she has overcome.
And just recently two of her immediate family has died from Cancer.

BTW,She hates guns as much as Mike does.
She is the democratic speaker of the Assembly, the first woman and first Gay candidate to hold the post. A true hero to New Yorkers.
And one of the nicest people in the world.

There is absolutely no way that this city would elect Ray kelly as mayor.

You really have no clue. Are you even from NYC?

As for Bratten, he is the one who was the Police Chief in Los Angeles for many years, and used to be the police chief of NYC when Rudy was the Mayor.

It’s worth pointing out that Bloomberg and Murdoch have been friends and allies for years.

In an August 2001 story about Bloomberg’s mayoral ambitions in the Melbourne Australia Herald Sun, New York Post columnist Steve Dunleavy says that Bloomberg is “probably better known in Bondi” — a suburb of Sydney, Australia — “than in Brooklyn” because Bloomberg News runs on Australian pay TV. “He’s probably right,” Bloomberg said in the profile. “That’s thanks to Rupert (Murdoch). He put it on Foxtel well before it took off in other parts of the world.”

Bloomberg also chatted with his longtime friend before he made public his plans to change New York City’s term-limits laws and run for a third term; he’d need the New York Post, which Murdoch owns, on board.

Joyce Purnick, author of “Mike Bloomberg: Money, Power, Politics,” was given unprecedented access to the mayor, and describes Bloomberg in Sun Valley, Idaho, making plans with Murdoch, and the two dining at Primavera in Manhattan. Bloomberg was planning to announce his intention to seek a third term but had not made up his mind yet. Murdoch was clearly on board.

After Sandy, I know I have little bed on the gulf coast all my life. Insurance companies wants their premiums but find many excuses not to pay. Look at how long it took Congress to pass a storm relief bill and it was only paper work for them. I remember after Katrina someone posted how after a blizzard they got out and helped their neighbors shovel snow, guess what you can not shovel water. New Orleans is still in the rebuilding process and probably will be for some years to come. Be patient, everything which goes thru the Congress is very slow now.

I can understand booing a senator.As there are no republican senators in NY since D'Amato lost, they are using surrogates to boo. Besides, NYers boo everything anyhow.

But it is the governor of a state that handles this.

I can understand though gun lovers and the NRA hate Mike Bloomberg and Andrew Cuomo
(and NY in general mostly, as NY has the harshest gun rules of anyone.

One thing is sure-there were NO riots in New Jersey or New York at all.
NOT ONE.
The NRA used these people to lie like they did during Katrina, where again NOT ONE riot happened
(except of course by the people who killed the black people on Danzinger Bridge, not wanting them to step foot a few hundred feet over that bridge, which was 100% dry, where water and food were available, and a respite from the floods.

Yet the NRA lied during both events and took advantage of the situation for LaPierre's own fantasies about riots.
(I think LaPierre and the NRA is actively encouraging race riots to up gun sales).

I am a cheese and soda addict, and I welcome help in not having temptation in front of me, especially in a movie theatre, now that I again can fit in the seats.

I do not understand why some do not have compassion for those with a weight problem.

Kudos to you if you don't have the problem, but I and lots of people do have a problem.

I wish there were wellness programs the last five decades before this one.

Only California has a wellness lifestyle.
Other states are woefully behind.

But I can understand why a gun fan would not want Mike Bloomberg to get rid of the NRA.
I completely understand it.

I can also understand those younger, but around the time one turns 50, what didn't matter prior to 50, matters greatly afterward. 60, 70, 80...and those with weight addictions, like myself, the odds aren't great if one continues on the path without changing ones lifestyle.

It is hard, I have lost 125 pounds, but have 75 more to go. Taking life, one day at a time.
And yes, I am a cheese and soda addict. I wish someone had the guts to get rid of the supersize sodas years ago. 780 calories in a 48 ounce soda. with refill that is 1560 calories.

Which alone is more than someone on a 1500 calorie a day limit should have.
Add a bucket of dripping gooey popcorn, and its like 3000 calories, two days worth of food,
in one 90 minute movie.
Wish someone had been there to do what Mr. Bloomberg has done, the last five decades.
Takes a long time to become morbidly obese. And it is hard to day to day continue to reduce.
God Bless Mike Bloomberg. His mom lived to 102. Hope he does too.
One can dislike his official rules he needs to adhere to as Mayor (though he is 100000 times better than Rudy Giuliani was), and still like his position against guns and lending a helping hand to addicts like me in their quest for wellness.

And most adults and think his food control fetish is OTT.

I thank God everyday for him, because I am an addict, a sugar and cheese addict, and he helped me at the time I was most in need. God Bless Him.
Wish he had been around the last 5 decades with a wellness program, not just the last
five or ten years.

Do you know Michelle Obama (she might be the 46th president after Hillary, you know.)
Michelle has a great wellness program too.

So why wouldn't someone like that?
National obesity is a major problem. Childhood Obesity is a major problem.
And, the people who are helped the most from his gentle nudge are those that can least afford heavy doctor and hospital bills, and those that do not have insurance.

Because medical bills cost all taxpayers money if the other person has no insurance.
So a penny saved helps all.

So what's not to love?

Taking it one day at a time.

People who are having problems, do not mind a helping hand.
In fact, they welcome it.

NYC leads the way in cigarette laws. One cannot smoke anywhere inside, and now in a lot of places, ONe also cannot stink up the entranceways if one smokes.
Cigarettes kill and now the vast majority of people do not smoke.


The 187 mayors against guns is a truly wonderful thing. Except to the NRA who cowers in fear of the Great Equalizer, Meek Mike.
Finally the days of blackmail by the NRA, the #1 lobby power group in the nation if not the world, has met its match.

Who wouldn't like that?

Working for a street free of guns America. One day at a time.

than rebuilding their neighborhoods, like making sure that no can buy a soda more than 16 ozs.

What's happening here? Are we really turning St. Patrick's Day into an over two week celebration? It's freaking bad enough being one day -- cops all over the place, to say nothing of intoxicated drivers.

As a Suomalainen, I demand equal time for St Urhos Day, 16 March. After all, St. Urho drove the grasshoppers out of Suomi a whole 24 hours before St. Patrick got to his snakes.

St. Patrick was a mere minor saint. St. Urho beat him by a whole day. And Urho had to deal with grasshoppers, probably zillions of them! Not just a coupla silly snakes.

Where were the St. Urho parades? I have my grasshopper hat ready and everything. Huh!?

Sisu!

and the stores are filled with greeting cards for St. Pat's.

What with an early Passover and early Easter, it is one holiday after another.

"According to legend, establishment of the church of Finland was entirely the work of the saint-king Eric of Sweden, assisted by the bishop from the most important diocese in the country. "

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_%28Bishop_of_Finland%29

So while the Norwegians have King'-Saint Olaf who united the country and Christianized it, the Finns are kind of stuck with a Swedish king and bishop who conquered the country and Christianized it.

Of course, St. Urho is a US invention.

Read about it. It's funny.

All done with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Much of the Lake Erie coast in Ohio was settled by Finns.

what happened.
