Thank you, Mister Bloomberg, for the donation.

That was a nice thing to do, and he didn't have to do it. The last "cool" donation I remember from him was the money he threw at Planned Parenthood when the Komen Foundation screwed them over. This is another "cool" one, IMO.

It would be lovely if money were taken OUT of the political process, but that's not the case. The Supremes have said that Money Equals Speech. So thank you, Mister Bloomberg, for helping to allow we Democrats to have a say, too. I'm glad you're spending at least some of your billions on stuff that helps the rest of us.

I hope he doesn't quit on the gun control end of things--he could make a real difference.
