Idiot NYC Mayor Finally Calls Off NYC Marathon

From ESPN:The New York City Marathon was canceled Friday in the wake of criticism that the race should not take place as the city struggles to recover from Hurricane Sandy.
Earlier Friday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg had insisted the race would take place Sunday despite some New Yorkers saying that holding the race would be insensitive and tie up police, generators and other resources when many are still suffering.
Bloomberg and New York Road Runners president Mary Wittenberg released a joint statement after the announcement:...
At a news conference, Bloomberg had defended his decision as a way to raise money for the stricken city and boost morale six days after Sandy flooded neighborhoods, knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses and killed at least 39 people.
Bloomberg said New York "has to show that we are here and we are going to recover" and "give people something to cheer about in what's been a very dismal week for a lot of people."
"You have to keep going and doing things," he said, "and you can grieve, you can cry and you can laugh all at the same time. That's what human beings are good at."  http://espn.go.com/new-york/olympics/story/_/id/8584566/nyc-marathon-canceled-due-storm-related-concerns
This a was no brainer.  The marathon should have been cancelled earlier this week.  But then the New York City mayor doesn't have a brain cell in his body except in his ass.
