In an unexpected development, New York City Mayor and plutocrat Michael Bloomberg, chose to endorse President Obama today, over fellow plutocrat Mitt Romney. Bloomberg stated that the issue of climate change, and the recent devastation related to Hurricane Sandy was instrumental in his endorsement. "When I look at the potential damage to everyone who can afford beach front property presented by global warming, and the disruption this poses these fine Americans, the choice became clear" said Bloomberg.
In unrelated news, the Obama administration announced a new "helicopter corridor" connecting Manhattan to Eastern Long Island. While the details of this corridor have not yet been revealed, it is hoped that by waiving noise abatement and air traffic restrictions, this new corridor will reduce travel time by as much as 20% or nearly 15 minutes.
