When it comes to real threats to U.S. Homeland Security security two people come to mind one is the blundering President (no border security) Bush and the the other Republican clown is New York City Mayor
Mike (Bozo) Bloomberg. The latest act of stupidity to be approved by Bloomberg is that of
dropping the requirement that those seeking a taxi license would no longer have to prove they are in the country legally. All they would have to show is a drivers license and Social Security card (like there is no fraud with illegals using bogus cards).
New York City council member Peter Vallone Jr. calls it correctly:
"It's not only shortsighted, it's pure stupidity."
It sure is especially since there have been discussions of terrorist plots using
Taxi cabs. With Bloomberg just does not get it! But, what do expect from
an idiot like Bloomberg who supports amnesty for illegal immigrants even though as he says : "may very well be rewarding lawbreaking.''

My name is Mark Johnson, and I've been an avid reader of your blog Beer Can Politics for about the last six months. I'm a recent UC Berkeley Political science grad and I along with some fellow Princeton alums have been working hard to launch our own internet startup called Rizzleweb.com. Rizzleweb is basically an online political community where people can log on and write performance reviews\comments for congressmen, senators, the sif it would not be too much trouble you could place a link of our site on your blog. If this is not possible (which we completely understand), we still hope you will check out our site, and post some reviews
Mayor Bloomberg is running the city like he runs his businesses. His main objective is for the city to make money at all costs. Apparently he is using his ruthless business skills to accomplish that. However, what is keeping the city running, is not always in the best interest of the folks living in the surrounding areas. By using a "sanctuary city policy" he is luring all kinds of ne'r do wells into the area which is certainly not making the city any safer. People are leaving NYC and the surrounding area in droves because of the 9/11 attack and because the city is unsafe because of this policy.
What I see for the future is a once great city decimated by gangs and criminals and you can blame Koch and all the mayors that have come after for abusing their power and using this policy.

Thanks for stopping by BCP and thanks for your comments. I don't have an area for links here at BCP. Between working and trying to squeeze in some living and blogging. There's not much time for adding other features maybe someday. But I did drop by Rizzleweb and looked at a couple of the congressional profiles and took a survey or two. Interesting and informative. I will keep it in mind when I need to look up profiles on the pols.

I agree elitist like Bloomberg really don't care what anyone else thinks or the effect as you said beyond NYC of his sanctuary city policy. Thanks for reading the blog and your comments.
