5. Bloomberg is a multi-billionnaire
who spent $77 million of his own money to basically buy the mayoralty in the last election. He spent about $50 or $60 million to do the same thing in the previous mayoral election when he first ran for the office. Maybe he should dig deeper into his very deep pockets and fork over some of his money towards any losses incurred by the MTA strike --- or better yet --- subsidize the price of a subway or bus ride for the working poor. Nah, not gonna hold my breath.

Getting to work tomorrow is gonna be a joy, particularly since the weather folks are predicting a "wintry mix" tonight and tomorrow morning. Snow, sleet & subway strike --- oh brother!
