Welcome to New York


While Congress does its very best to keep the world's best and brightest away, leave it to NYC and Mayor Bloomberg to put out the welcome mat: "City Hall Contest Seeks Next Big Idea." $60K is a rounding error for the Gotham City budget (and for Hizzoner, for that matter.) And for that, the Big Apple gets not only a plethora of potentially good ideas, but also burnishes its reputation around the world as the place where you want to go to hit it big. Well played, Bloomy.

Mayor Bloomberg's sharpest and strongest words at the 2008 Penn commencement concerned the need for our country to embrace immigration, and the foolishness of doing otherwise. Great speech, and while I don't know too much about the mayor, I'm definitely a fan.

So it's great to see he's doing this contest!

Nicholas, yes I picked up on that same theme when I watched the speech on YouTube. Thanks for chiming in!
