What's he up to now?

From the NY Post:

Chalk up another first for Mayor Bloomberg -- he's a noncandidate who has just registered a new campaign committee at the state Board of Elections.

Each of the other 10,356 active filers at the board is running for office, thinking of running for office, supporting someone running for office, or pushing a ballot initiative.

By his own words, Bloomberg falls into none of those categories.

Mayoral aides said the sole purpose of the committee, formed on April 15 and simply and aptly named "Michael R. Bloomberg," is to report the mayor's recent spending on TV, radio and direct-mail ads.

"While not obligated to file, we chose to do so in order to disclose the expenditures," said Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson.

The filing won't be made public until July 15.

Why Bloomberg is willing to disclose the information in three months, and not now, isn't clear. In a campaign, there might be a strategic advantage to not revealing any information an opponent might put to use.

But the mayor has no campaign to worry about. He has said repeatedly that he is not running again.

Emperor Bloomberg won't vacate his seat until he "croaks" or is deposed.

He'll seek a fourth term.

All it takes is a little change to the city charter.

Oink, oink oink!

What a little piggy!

does Quadrangle Group ,the hedge fund from which Steven Rattner contolled bloombergs "sort of blind trust", still hold his funds ?

was it money for a presidential run ?

how did Rattner's lawyer Jamie Gorelick(freddy mac multimilionaire) keep him out of prison ,in the Hevesi pension plan scandal?

the fines levied were$10,000,000., $6,200,000., and $7,000,000.

one wonders who gets this fine money?
