Bloomberg Isn't Cute
Today is Friday, 11 June 2010.
Michael Bloomberg is, in one sense, the most corrupt mayor in the history of the City of New York.
Not because he took money, but because he bought the office three times.
In any case, Bloomberg is certainly, at the very least, tied for the title of The Most Callous Mayor in the History of the City of New York.
In order to close a budget gap of $800 million, the Metropolitan Transit Authority has proposed ending free or reduced-fare MetroCards, which enable more than 500,000 public school students to go to and from school.
Today, more than a thousand students rallied outside City Hall, then marched over the Brooklyn Bridge to MTA headquarters, protesting the proposed action, which would cost their parents some $1,000 per year per child to purchase monthly MetroCards.
Billionaire Bloomberg’s response: “If I were them, I'd just think long and hard someday. If I didn't pass a test, I'd always go back and wonder, 'Was it that afternoon when I was trying to be cute and be out there and picketing was better than being in class?''
Cute?
Cute?
Obviously, Bloomberg considers “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” to be “cute”.
Puppies and kittens are “cute”.
“The right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” is a right guaranteed by the First Amendment.
Had Bloomberg, at long last, any sense of decency, he would resign and devote himself to fondling his money and smirking.
(And learning to speak proper English.)

On this date in 2001, Timothy McVeigh was executed for murdering 168 persons in the Oklahoma City Bombing. Since that day, no murders have been committed, thus providing miraculous confirmation of the genius of lovers of judicial murder.
