Even Gasbags are Stealing My Stuff Department:
Gatemouth (11/10/08): If Bloomie had picked Michelle Rhee, that would have been an act of guts, vision and audacity; this is merely an act of "arrogance," a trait he usually attributes to his betters.
Goodwin (11/24/08): Memo to Mayor Bloomberg: Check the mirror. Your comment after a round of golf that President Obama is "the most arrogant man" you ever met is boomeranging. Many New Yorkers are saying the same thing about you because of your recent behavior. Picking Cathie Black to run the schools was sure to raise eyebrows, but your claim to have conducted a "public search" is provably false. The unforced error undercut Black and contributed to the advisory panel's recommendation that she not get the job. On Thanksgiving, we should celebrate being American – NYPOST.com www.nypost.com
If you wanna read Erik Engquist’s options for Cathie Black, you're gonna hafta pay for it.
The Mayor can afford it, but I betcha he hasn't read it either.
Nonetheless, there are those who say he’s already paying thru the nose. https://home.crainsnewyork.com/clickshare/authenticateUserSubscription.do?CSProduct=newyorkbusiness& home.crainsnewyork.com
While i basically agree with the Mayor about TSA, I have to wonder if his message isn't heard by the public at large as "If you don't like it, get your own plane." Mayor Bloomberg to passengers outraged by intrusive TSA checks: Get over it, it's to 'keep you safe' www.nydailynews.com

If Phil Ochs could appreciate this song enough to give it a sincere cover, I do not understand why Sully needs to be so uppity about it. Great guitar, and it’s fun to hear a conservative praise shwoing respect to the college dean. Shut Up And Sing: Merle Haggard – The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com
