About freaking time.

It was a stupid decision in the first place to try to carry on.

Yeah, he cited the controversies in holding it.

He's an idiot, but at least he's finally listening to reason.

 Doesn't look like Bloomberg used his better judgement at all.
I heard on the news last night it was because the police and fire departments refused to cover the marathon.
