Both the current mayor of New York City and his predecessor attempted to stay in office for a third term.  Rudy Giuliani was thwarted in his attempt, Michael Bloomberg had the foresight to change the rules well in advance and now looks set to hold his job past what terms limit laws originally dictated.   As five time voters for Mayor “Diamond” Joe Quimby, The Dead Homer Society is, quite obviously, opposed to term limits in all their forms.   However, that does not mean that Mr. Bloomberg is the most qualified candidate in this fall’s New York City mayoral contest.

Mr. Charles Montgomery Burns has proven time and again that he is an effective administrator.   He was an early, albeit unintentional, advocate of homosexuals in the work place, and his generous hiring policies also extend to water fowl and recent immigrants.   His business acumen, legal adroitness, and managerial potency have allowed him to successfully navigate the often rocky shoals of American business since early in the last century.   Despite ruthless and repetitive government investigations he and his exemplary operation have never suffered a single legal setback, a remarkable track record in this day of incorruptible and diligent public officials.

A man of science, his character was proven on the battlefields of Europe before he returned home to master the atom.  He is also a noted sports enthusiast, whose knowledge of baseball extends well into the 19th century and whose jai alai skills are legendary.  But don’t think of this man as an elitist, he is a frequent guest at the homes of his beloved employees.

In short, Monty Burns is an American patriot and a titan of industry that hasn’t lost the common touch.  His qualifications and lifetime of achievement more than make up for the fact that he is fictional.   We heartily endorse Mr. C.M. Burns for Mayor of New York City.
