Menino Bets On The Pats

Published Jan 29 2008, 07:58 PM by David S. Bernstein

Tom Menino has made the obligatory bet with NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg over the Super Bowl. But wait a sec -- neither team plays in either man's city.

This mayors'/governors' sports bet thing has gotten totally out of hand -- the list of items this time is endless. (clam chowder, Boston Creme pies, etc. etc.)

Menino is also, according to the press release, encouraging Bostonians to "show their support for the Patriots by wearing red, white, blue and silver starting Thursday." Or maybe starting Tuesday -- Menino is then quoted saying : "People here in Boston should start wearing their Patriots gear and the team colors from now until game day to show their support for the Patriots." (my emphasis.)

And Now, The Anti-McCain 527s

Ted K. For Obama?

Blah, blah, blah... Here is my bet. No matter who wins, we should all eat: – The $300 check that the gov’t stupidly thinks will stimulate the economy. – An apple when we figure out how to return our educational system to a higher global standard. – A multi-vitamin so that I may live longer and potentially draw social security from an about-to-be-defunct system. – 1 military ration per day until we figure out how to bring the troops home. Call it a strange idea, but we need to bet on the future of our country. I bet for change, but as Buckminster Fuller once said, “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” I believe that Mayor Bloomberg, a proven successful businessman and public servant, is the leader to help us rebuild our country. Please join me at http://draftbloomberg.com by signing the petition that will help convince Mayor Bloomberg to run for President of the United States.
