"...This morning, Brookfield Office Properties in Lower Manhattan called off plans to 'clean up' Zuccotti Park, the central location for Occupy Wall Street's camp. This came after a weird to-and-fro: First Mayor Michael Bloomberg said they could stay indefinitely as long as they obeyed the law..."

"...THE WORKPLACE BODY SNATCHERS New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is learning the hard way that workers don't like bosses snooping on them...."

"...Round Rock or Bust Given this, when Mayor Gus Garcia first rattled the anti-tobacco saber, I was baffled at the gratuitousness and poor timing of the effort. Well, good timing for Garcia -- ending his public career in the smoke wars, rather than kicking it off under this flag like New York's Michael Bloomberg or Round Rock's Nyle Maxwell -- but really bad timing for a city that's even more than usually obsessed with its music industry and its general weirdness..."

"...invaded Iraq. Mayor Mike Bloomberg sent the helmeted and booted NYPD to bust a gaggle of peaceful protesters in Midtown Manhattan..."

"...Dawn opens with a montage of news footage that explains how a simian flu epidemic has destroyed the human species. (Admittedly, it’s a bit startling to see former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg as the first image onscreen, repurposing, as this film does, words uttered in the past by the mayor and President Obama, warning citizens about disaster preparedness in the face of hurricanes, not monkeys.) After observing the simians’ new social order for a bit (an impressive feat of CGI technology), we learn that there are actually human survivors who have an inexplicable immunity to the pathogen that killed off most of their brethren..."

"...The end of the film takes us to a 2010 ceremony at which a delighted Koch was honored by the current Hizzoner, Michael Bloomberg, who announced the renaming of the 59th Street Bridge as the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge. Given the timing of Koch's death, one of the film's most telling scenes is now one of the most poignant, the one where Koch examines – on-site – the cemetery stone he himself designed...."

"...I had no idea such a list existed. But of course, aren't all billionaire heiresses intriguing? (Remember when all heiresses were described as "madcap"? It was always madcap heiresses – never madcap charwomen or madcap urologists.) What was the application process like? Did they have to provide paycheck stubs? Photos with other billionaire heiresses? Did they have to take a psychological test to determine their fitness as an heiress? NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg's younger daughter, Georgina, made the list..."

"...In Maine, which has public financing for statehouse campaigns, some candidates who aren't participating have nonetheless limited their spending so that their opponents don't get to bust their limits. However, in New York City, which also has public financing, Mayor Michael Bloomberg spent $69 million of his own money without worrying about whether this "helped" his opponent...."

"...Still, these performances, the story's historical origins, and the inherent goodness and contemporaneity of its storyline make Focus a movie worth viewing. Besides, it's the only movie to boast NYC millionaire mayor-elect Michael Bloomberg as its executive producer...."
