From the horse's...er...mouth

The mayor of NYC speaks about crime
“I don’t know how to break this to you,” Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, “but people that go out and murder people don’t read The Wall Street Journal.” (April 2009)

Cruel, stupid, doomed to fail

More stupidity from Mayor Bloomberg
On his plan to gas or blow away Canada geese with shotguns, near airports: "In the end safety of the public is No. 1 and that's what we're going to do," he added during his weekly radio show. "There is not a lot of cost involved in rounding up a couple thousand geese and letting them go to sleep with nice dreams."
Note: Experts agree that culling does not reduce bird populations
