"King Mike Bloomberg, the little emperor of NYC spent the most money in NYC history to win the most humiliating win in history as well. Welcome to the "new" hideous New York and just think of the "new" Yankee Stadium built with tax payer money and most can't afford seats, a soda, and popcorn. Under Bloomberg the new slogan is "I love NY, I just can't afford NY"."

I am tired read it -- I got the heads up -- read the piece -- he sounds like you....
