Tom Bradley was mayor of L.A. for about 734 years, and even though I didn't dislike him as mayor, there's this "too settled" thing about not having term limits that tends to rot after a while, whether you like the mayor or not.

In the United States, term limits on executives are absurd. Bloomberg has been an excellent technocrat for a city that was in desperate need for one. Hopefully he’ll win a third term and create even a larger precedent for future mayor’s.

Bloomberg hasn't been a banker since 1981, and I don't believe he's ever been involved with mortgage-backed securities. He ran a technology and media company, and for the last dozen years, he's also operated one of the largest philanthropies in the country.

I'm just stating facts.

I am quite certain that Christopher Brodeur, for instance, like Sarah Palin is very much the wrong guy, at any time.

Bloomberg has explicitly argued that “our interpretation of the Constitution” will have to change to give citizens less privacy and the police more power to search and spy on them. In fact, he does not seem to believe that certain people have innate civil rights that the state must respect. If the NYPD wanted to spy on Muslims, even if they lived outside New York City, solely because of their religion or ethnicity, Michael Bloomberg thought it was a great idea. And as Jack Shafer recently pointed out, his dedication to ensuring submission began before he was an elected official—when he was the boss at a company notorious for its tyrannical treatment of employees.
Bloomberg’s three victorious mayoral election campaigns are depressing evidence that a substantial number of Americans are amenable to authoritarian politics and uninterested in protecting civil liberties. So long as the person overseeing the police state claimed to be surveilling people for their own good, it was easy to turn a blind eye, especially if the surveillance was concentrated in certain neighborhoods. ...
