Bloomberg, Still Not Running For President, Amasses Support
Rich people across the nation (or more specifically rich people residing exclusively in New York and California) are thrilled at the prospect that tiny and uninspiring mayor Michael Bloomberg may buy his way into the presidential race. Even though he lacks the charm of Ross Perot, the last zillionaire to attempt it, Bloomberg has so much money that people who only have almost as much money as him think he is probably the perfect man to run this country. So, according to the Sun, "technology entrepreneur" Jon Fisher "has held meetings with more than 100 executives and entrepreneurs during the past few months to gauge support for a Bloomberg bid and prepare a team to assist the possible campaign." Because America just loves technocrats! Bloomberg keeps denying that he's running for anything but his insane aide Kevin Sheeky keeps convincing every reporter in New York that his boss is a sure thing. [The Sun]
