	Ken Auletta :: Articles - The Bloomberg Threat (Michael Bloomberg)
		Bloomberg is, indisputably, America’s most eligible bachelor!” What Shapiro did not say was that Bloomberg, a bachelor by divorce, also fancies himself a bon vivant, who flies his own plane, dives out of helicopters to ski, and according to Bloomberg is pursued by gorgeous women.
		Bloomberg would not be cast as a leading man: he has pouches under his eyes, is slightly bucktoothed, and has the pleasant but unremarkable demeanor of a five-foot-nine-inch, fifty-five-year-old former Wall Street trader who hurriedly dresses in solemn gray or blue suits.
		Bloomberg and his ex-wife have established relationships with others, yet to this day he refers to her as his closest confidante.

	WorldNetDaily: Bloomberg: Illegals needed to take care of golf courses
		Bloomberg, who co-hosts a Friday radio talk show on WABC, was discussing the controversial immigration bills in Congress that have resulted in protests across the nation when he was asked to name a typical menial job an illegal immigrant might do.
		Bloomberg, who has been criticized in the past for what some see as an elitist image, came under fire for his golf comments from a spokeswoman for the New York Immigration Coalition, an alliance of 150 immigration groups that organized a march of thousands of protesters across the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday.
		Bloomberg as one of the city's wealthiest men, governing from on high, also obscures his record in office and his true self, as a man coming from nothing to build a communications empire," the advisers said.

	CJRBooks - Bloomberg by Bloomberg, by Michael Bloomberg
		The fledgling Bloomberg news service was slow to get the credentials that its reporters needed to attend Federal Reserve and other official briefings in Washington and Tokyo because, we are told, the journalists on the committees that granted these essential press passes were stupid, jealous jerks, not because the company was combative and arrogant.
		Clearly, Michael Bloomberg didn't get into journalism to defend the First Amendment or to keep a watchful eye on the powerful or even to schmooze with stars; he came to make a buck by putting a Bloomberg box within reach of everyone in the world.
		Bloomberg says he wrote this amateurish prose himself, but he acknowledges "invaluable help" from Matt Winkler, a veteran of the pro circuit who certainly should be held to its standards.

	OpinionJournal - JOHN FUND ON THE TRAIL
		Bloomberg predicts he will dispose of his multibillion-dollar business holdings next year, give much of it away to charity, and use some of the remainder for a high-stakes presidential campaign.
		Bloomberg has run and won twice as a registered Republican in New York, but he supports partial-birth abortion, gun control and gay rights and opposes the death penalty.
		Bloomberg knows that the odds are against him: No modern third-party candidate has come close to winning, and even if one managed to poll close to 40% of the popular vote, it would be hard to carry a majority of the Electoral College.

		Bloomberg also relates gripping stories about two near-crashes in aircraft he was piloting, one a helicopter and another a small plane.
		Bloomberg says he wrote the book because he was too ''pigheaded'' to take his friends' advice not to.
		Bloomberg comes across as a doer, an activist--but not as a man who is self-observant, ironic, humorous, analytical, or subtle enough to pen a good autobiography.

	Robert A. George on Michael Bloomberg & New York City on National Review Online
		Conservatives can't truly be said to be disappointed by Michael Bloomberg considering he was never one of them to begin with.
		However, Bloomberg's honeymoon continued here in the city when he doggedly worked and finally succeeded in gaining mayoral control of the city school system — something that his predecessors had been trying to do for nearly three decades.
		Of course, Bloomberg accepts as faith that secondhand smoke poses such a danger that a total ban is a necessity.

	Michael Bloomberg - By David Greenberg - Slate Magazine
		Michael Bloomberg, the business-information mogul who announced his candidacy for mayor of New York last week, is surely the first aspirant to the office whose face is less well known than his corporate logo.
		In these flattering stories, not even major setbacks stopped Bloomberg's determined rise: When he was laid off from Salomon in 1981 with a $10 million golden parachute, he used the payday to invest in his little machines, which is how he made his "real" money and, of course, his name.
		Bloomberg has also started refashioning his image to appeal to New York's working class, campaigning in ethnic communities in the outer boroughs.

		Its peculiar that Bloomburg should be calling for these matters (stem cell etc) not to be politicised since he, as a politician, has got to be aware that everything has a political dimension somewhere along the line, even if indirectly, which is why politics is so very important and not to be trivialised or dismissed.
		Bloomberg has been one of the biggest fundraisers for Bush, since he "switched parties" from Democrat to Republican to get Giuliani's endorsement in the 2001 NYC mayor election.
		Bloomberg is talking science in the public speeches for the media, and raising money for BushCo behind the scenes.
