From the NY Times:Sure, he’s influential. But is Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg among the most influential? Not anymore, by one measure.
Time has left the billionaire mayor off its list of the 100 Most Influential People for 2009 — a slight for a man who relishes his status as a titan of business, politics, philanthropy, public health and environmental sustainability.
The magazine did not specify why it left out the mayor, but it did offer a glimpse into its thinking.
In the plus column, Time said that the mayor had successfully lobbied to rewrite the city’s term limits, which may allow him, if re-elected, to “keep working on the environmental and health reforms that have defined his administration.”
In the minus column, the magazine said that “his term-limits movement struck many as a blatant power-grab.”
In a painful twist of the knife, the list of 100 included several of the mayor’s friends from the world of politics and business.
Maybe they heard about what a prick he was to work for.

He didn't fire the guy who forgot to tell him Air Force One was going to buzz lower Manhattan.
The guy who he sees has solitaire on his desktop (and isn't even playing it) --him, he fires.

Sure, be involved in preservation in Queens and call MAS, Convservency, LPC, boro hall, or HDC and not be on their 'offical' rolodex.
See how far you get.

CALL A NEWSPAPER TO PUBLICIZE YOUR EVENT: IF ITS NOT A VICOTRIAN TEA FOR EASTERN QUEENS, OR AN IMMIGRANT CENTERED EVENT FOR WESTERN QUEENS, THEY WILL PUT IT IN ONLY UNDER POINT OF BAYONETTE.
THEN THEY WILL MALICIOUSLY LEAVE OFF THE ADDRESS.
I am waiting for the glowing Blumturd editorials of the Queens Weeklies even stabbing native son Tony A in the back.
Generous adverstising revenues will make a whore out of them.
"...will make a whore..."
Why use the future tense?
"...A blatant power-grab"?
Bloomberg's a bloomin' usurper of democracy...an out and out wannabee dictator...a despotic lying
little shrimp who has nothing but contempt for "the lower classes" ...as he views them!
That's a lot more like it!
But thanks "Time" magazine for agreeing with me and my little piggy's assessment of our tyrannical mayor!
NO 3rd TERM FOR PORKER BLOOMBERG!
I see Bloomturd showed up at the reopening of St. Francis Prep...God, make him go away!
in his small brain he thinks by showing up at prep will make the middle class respect him, NOT! we all know he is only doing this to sway votes. can't stand this troll and he needs to get the fxxk out of the city he is destroying it. we are not dumb in queens and that will show in the polls. still can't believe that turd wants to raise gas to over $4.00 a gallon. hello a-hole people are laid off and struggling. sorry you rich asses don't get it, raise taxes on the rich or better yet have a fund raiser to bail your sorry ass out. beg for money from your friends and the few supporters you have left.
Bloomgerm is at Prep!!!!!
They're going to need to disinfect the school again.
