The Whole Delivery

King Mike and one of his many wealthy buddies in Road Runners queen Mary Wittenberg were full stream ahead with having their marathon go as planned today all throughout Friday, until regular New Yorkers, especially in the marathon's starting point in Staten Island, gave their thoughts on how idiotic and immoral their out of touch plutocratic thoughts were. One Staten Island native putting it clear as day how angry they were (and still are) at Bloomberg was Maryanne Alessio on Fox News' Neil Cavuto, a network that certainly felt the need to rip Bloomberg constantly after he tepidly endorsed Obama the day before. It was one of the rare times when Fox News and Cavuto actually produced something meaningful and worth a damn (Apologies for the audio being low and not having the equipment to get it properly off TV yet, but if you are in a quiet location and turn the volume up to its highest, you will hear it all). "I think the marathon is a disgrace and shame on Blo...

Probably the only time I will ever say "I am proud to have Michael Bloomberg as mayor of New York City." (More to come folks in this thread.)

Citing unnamed law enforcement sources, the Associated Press news agency said the man, who recently travelled to Pakistan, was a Connecticut resident who apparently paid cash for the four-wheel-drive vehicle rigged with a crude propane-and-petrol bomb. The registered owner of the vehicle had told police on Monday that he had sold it three weeks ago without any paperwork to a man in his late 20s or early 30s. The information on Monday comes as the hunt for the person or people behind the botched bombing widens. If you needed a reminder, this is what the ride was : The man is believed to be the person who recently bought the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder that was found loaded with gasoline, propane tanks, fireworks, and fer...

After talking about this yesterday , Wikileaks broke the news on their Twitter page that Facebook will return their "fan page" with 30,000 fans back on the social protocol. As stated yesterday, Wikileaks "official page on Facebook" has never been tampered with. Meanwhile, King Mike is at it again , with his love of : Politico reported today that Mayor Mike trashed his longtime buddy Chuck Schumer at an April 12 meeting in Mitch McConnell's Senate office in Washington. The attack on Schumer, who supports the financial reform bill now before the Senate, is part of the oddest Bloomberg campaign yet -- his self-proclaimed crusade to protect Wall Street from even lackluster Obama regulation so they'll keep picking up the tab for our cops and firefighters. If you turned on Morning Joe Monday and Tuesday around 8, you were treated the first day to a somber but impenetrable lecture from Bloomberg about Washington's overreaching efforts to cook the city...

Photo from 1010 WINS I know these people want to really give you full thanks, hugs, and everything else : New York Homelessness Soars 34% And here in New York, city officials have disclosed the number of homeless increased a staggering 34 percent last year. More than 3,100 people lived on the streets in 2009, in addition to the near-record 38,000 listed as living in shelters. No wonder he stayed FAR, FAR away from talking about this, and it's something his opponent, Bill Thompson, should have talked much more about . Bloomberg has long struggled to address New York City's homeless problem. He set a goal in his first term of reducing the homeless population by two-thirds by 2009. But the number of people in shelters surpassed 39,000 for the first time last fall, some 3,000 more than when he took office. Until this year, the annual citywide street homeless count has declined each year since the survey began in 2005, when 4,395 were counted. Homeless advocates regularl...
