If I lived in NYC, Michael Bloomberg would get Marc Ecko's vote...

Bloomberg is running for a 3rd term as mayor of NYC. I do not agree with everything with this man. I have had arm wrestling matches with him in the past over obsolete anti-graffitti laws. That said--
$11,600,000 gig for 18 days of work? F' that!

This Washington Mutual Bailout has a guy eligible for an $11,600,000 severance for 18 days of work???
Alan Fishman, chief executive for 18 days before the federal government took control, is eligible for $11.6 million in cash severance and can keep his $7.5 million signing bonus, according to an analysis by James F. Reda & Associates, a compensation-consulting firm in New York.

This muthaf@#er? Whoa. First Palin. Now "suspending his campaign"? Who is managing his campaign? P.T. Barnum? This guy is no joke. Way to grab a headline John. My head just imploded.
From WSJ.com, below...
NEW YORK -- Sen. John McCain said he will "suspend" his presidential campaign on Thursday and will return to Washington to focus on the unfolding economic crisis. In the meantime, he called for a delay in the presidential debate scheduled for Friday night in Mississippi.
Sen. McCain also called on his Democratic rival Barack Obama to join him back in the capital.
"It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the administration's proposal. I do not believe that the plan on the table will pass as it currently stands, and we are running out of time," the Arizona senator said in statement issued by the campaign. "Tomorrow morning, I will suspend my campaign and return to Washington."
