ANOTHER Bloomberg mayor goes down
Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon is on the receiving end of a 12 count felony indictment relating to receiving tens of thousands in "gifts" from a land developer and ripping off donations meant to help the homeless.
UPDATE: The two comments in Russian were spam. The website given (not in the body of the comment) were to a Russian porn site.

Play background music "Another one bites the bust" with that news!
Gee, what a surprise.... Baltimore has been over the top corrupt for years. It's only one of the reasons I left that state for good....
Do we need to guess what party affiliation? Democrat is synonymous with corrupt, isn't it?
David Codrea @ war on guns has covered most, if not all of them I think.
Ah, the people who want citizens disarmed...stealing like mad. I'd love to see the numbers of prosecutions, early releases, and crime in those cities just to confirm what I have a feeling of already.
What's with the Russian (I think) comment? Spam?
I copied and forwarded the non-english posting above to a Russian friend of mine at work. He agreed that it is indeed Russian but had a hard time translating word for word. Basically, it's not spam and overall said that this blog is useful for others all over the world. I don't think anything negative was meant in the wording nor intended.
Here's what Google language tools makes of it:
Still, potryasnoe invention - a blog. It would seem normal site, but changed the presentation of information, the site passed into the hands of one person and opened another facet of communication with the world.
This is not the first comment on this blog from this poster. I was also curious, but never bothered to ask.
May we spread our message of freedom around the world.

"Comment spam" is an attempt to raise hits on the originating site's blog. The spammer relies on "one-out-of-many" to click through and raise his hit count. Direct mail relies on 3 out of 100 responses to make money, e-spam can make hundreds of thousands of $$ on 3 out of 1 million hits by stealing IDs and tracking back on hits. Russians are particularly good about using the internet nefariously to make money.
There is a nofollow tag that can be used to limit trackbacks like this.
I'm with "anonymous" above - is someone keeping a list of Bloomberg's mayors who have dropped out of the group or been indicted, resigned under controversy, etc.?
Passaic, NJ Mayor Samuel Rivera
Frank Melton, of Jackson MS
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick
Birmingham, Al Mayor Larry Langford
Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon
Are those indicted that I can recall.
Thanks Thirdpower for the list. I think a web page with pics of the "Bloomberg mayors" with a big red "INDICTED" and/or "CONVICTED" stamp across their faces would be charming.

(the "Anonymous" first poster -- I just forgot to put in my name when I hit the submit button...)
Does someone already have a list of Bloomberg's Mayors for Moronacy showing who has received such distinguised "honors" as the Baltimore Mayor?
