EMPEROR BLOOMBERG | Weekly World News

EMPEROR BLOOMBERG | Weekly World News

From the people that brought the story "Batboy Enlists to find Osama in Afghanistan" Weekly World News reports the Mayor of New York Mike Bloomberg to declare himself Emperor of New York City. As likely within Bloomberg's wheelhouse as this statement; the location and timing of the announcement disproves this journalistic nugget of the Weekly World News (Cipriani's is not a likely Bloomberg announcement location especially since he was in London Monday morning).

Bloomberg announces intention to run for a 3rd term

Shocking that Bloomberg could state that he is for term limits, while announcing he is intending to run for a third term anyway!

The financial crisis is the rationale that he gave for changing the term limits, and that it was too close to November to be put on the ballot for a third referendum to reject it again. Why would the the single instance of the credit crunch and Wall St implosion change the term limits law for time and memoriam? If there was desire for a third term, and a rationale for third terms it wouldn't change because of the last couple of weeks financial downturn.
