Mike Bloomberg, big talk, no action

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is very good at telling us what to do and how to do it. Don't smoke, don't buy a gun, don't eat trans fats, put down that salt shaker, be sure to properly recycle your newspaper, build the Ground Zero mosque come Hell or high water, and by golly you'd better vote the way he wants you to vote. It's all in a day's work for Hizzoner the scold.

He's not quite as capable when it comes to actually getting things done. Smugness is not the same thing as competence. Fealty to the Nanny State does not alas translate into a Nanny State which cares about what you care about.

They're from the government but they're not here to help.

Many city neighborhoods remain unplowed 48 hours after Sunday's storm ended. People are stranded, emergency vehicles can't get through, and all Mayor Mike does is make excuses.

"We won't get to everybody every time. We will make mistakes, but we have to continue plugging ahead. Yelling about it and complaining doesn't help," Bloomberg said. "I think you can expect another 24 hours before we will get to everyone and even then I'm not so sure."

He's not so sure. Who's in charge over there? Because from where I sit it sure isn't Mike Bloomberg. And he wants to be president? Puh-lease. He can't handle a simple snow storm and he thinks he's capable of running the entire country?

Mister, NYC could use a man like Rudy Guiliani again.
