My point, of course, is that a good press conference hardly changes my overall picture of Bloomberg, and to hear him get choked up after taking stances that are extremely unpopular with most New Yorkers and undemocratic, besides (his endless use of eminent domain, overturning term limits, angry outbursts at reporters who challenge him with his stupid “I am what I am” comeback, etc.), really doesn’t move me.

I know that’s not a popular position on today’s thread, but its how I feel.

Right now, I just want him to get cell phone service on the subways, something he said he’d do five years ago and never did and never mentioned again. And while he’s prattling on about private property, maybe he’ll enlighten us as to why he’s used eminent domain so much to fill the pockets of developers.

But, today, he’s the mayor who gets choked up about religious freedom.

Tomorrow, when the next corporate castrophy ruins the lives of working people, and he takes the side of the big wigs, this will all be forgotten.
