bloomberg

i don't follow local politics, mostly because i just assume that what is reported in the news is nowhere near what's actually going on. plus it's really complicated with years of backstory and feuds, and just always seems kind of petty.

but i do remember a couple months ago bloomberg said something about banning private cars from manhattan. or at least taxing the heck out of them. i am SO down with this idea--i love it on snow days when cars are banned. it's so forward-thinking! no one else is talking about stuff like that. and he's not afraid to just one day up and announce it's something he wants to do. everyone said he would never get smoking banned in the city, but he did. and he never hypes himself with huge abstract ideas, which i like too. he just quietly and concretely gets stuff done. the banning cars thing is almost enough for me to decide i'd like him as president, but i really don't know that much about him.

plus, just think about how cool it would be if he became president and then came out! c'mon. he's gay, right?
