I am sick and fuckin' tired of mega-rich SOBs like Bloomberg thinking that all they have to do is come in and lay down a mountain of cash, and WE THE PEOPLE are going to just turn the keys to the government over to them.

Well, I've got news for you, Mike. WE DON'T WANT YOU. STAY THE FUCK OUT OF POLITICS!

3. What's really amusing

is that this little twit Bloomie doesn't know that nobody outside of a hundred miles from NYC gives a tinker's damn about him and his opinions.

But if the MSM can get him to piss away a billion dollars of his money to advertise himself, they'll be glad to have the cash. I guess it would redistribute wealth from NYC to the rest of the country, so it's hard to be against it on economic grounds...

4. WTF does "officially encouraging someone to run" mean?

Instead of saying "please" they say "pretty please"?
