Mayor Bloomberg (of NYC) is a fucking assclown. Throughout his term in office since 2001, he's closed a shitload of firehouses and schools, cut funding for some homeless programs, and other nasty shit.

THen he tried to get NYC to host the Olympics. He proposed that the west side area have a stadium built, which would result in the destruction of several buisinesses, but mostly a railroad yard. At first, he said "Oh, it's just going to be $200 million, that's not a big deal". This pissed off some people, but not everyone. Then word got out about how it would cost even more, up to $600 million. Right about before the $600m figure was released to the public, commercials were showing saing "Say NO to a West Side Stadium", and costs were listed.

The end total was $2 billion. The stadium got shot down in a heartbeat. Of course, Bloomberg, being the asshole he is, tried even harder, suggesting that a new baseball stadium be built near Shea Stadium, suggesting that it be 'a second home for the Mets and the Yankees' (who, of course, had working stadiums of their own). The stadium, if built, would had destroyed hundreds of businesses in the area to make room. No sooner does he announce it to try and lure the Olympics to NYC does London get picked.

Congrats, Bloomberg, you fucked up your chances of being re-elected. Personally, I couldn't be more happy that London is getting the olympics.
