Why didn’t we think of this before? If we just changed the term-limit laws, we wouldn’t have to have these silly elections at all and our current leaders could keep their jobs forever and ever and ever! Bush is probably kicking himself for not having thought of it, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg is out there doing it. The New York Times reported that Bloomberg will announce on Thursday his proposal to change the law and run for a third term as mayor. And since he only needs to pass the proposal through the city council - most of whom would have to leave office in 2009 under the current law - it looks like he may even be successful.
