Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion
In a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.

I’m rolling my eyes at the headline in the New York Times today that reads: “Calls Grow for Bloomberg to Make Up His Mind”.
Where? Where are these calls growing for Michael Bloomberg to make up his mind about whether he’s going to run for President or not?
I haven’t heard any such calls. No one I know is growing impatient, longing to hear what Mike Bloomberg will decide to do in 2008. There never has been any clamor for Michael Bloomberg to do anything among the people I know.
It seems to me that the only people who are calling for Michael Bloomberg to do anything are a bunch of Bloomberg’s fellow media tycoons and power brokers. Maybe they’re calling each other in a heated fury of anxiety, wondering if their favorite billionaire will represent their interests as President. I don’t know. I don’t have their telephone numbers.
But “Calls Grow for Bloomberg to Make Up His Mind”? Give me a break, New York Times.
I know that Bloomberg’s people have been planting little seeds in the ears of reporters, trying to create the impression that the “right” people are backing Bloomberg, but when it comes to the nearly 300 million of the rest of us who are not the “right” people, Michael Bloomberg could move to Antarctica and study penguins for all we care.

Bloomberg is working for Giuliani. He keeps saying he will run if “extremists” like Huckabee or Obama run. What he is really saying is he want the attention focused on New York by having Rudy and Hill running.

Agreed. Blatant and pathetic power play.
Oh, please, Mr. Billionaire, save all us non-wealthy people with your moneyed brain of superiority!

Don’t some out-of-work campaign managers want Bloomberg to run so they can have a job?

What? Why, do you mean Mouglas L. Glailey and Zherry Brafshoon?

What’s Mikey Bloomberg going to do now? What with there being an open, vigorous contest on the Republican side, he can’t jump in any time soon and make the Unity08 claim that Iowa and New Hampshire get to make all the decisions for everybody.
