Yes, I did what needed to be done. I pulled the lever for Bloomberg (or more accurately against his opponents). If I smoked cigarettes, some high-tar confection would have undoubtedly been on the agenda. As it is, a cigar later could be called for and there must be a trans-fat-laden treat I can grab for lunch, packaged, of course, in a disposable plastic bag.

Four more years — the alternative would be even worse!
