1. IMO, the Mayor succumbed to pressure from members of the City Council

as they called in their markers for changing the City Charter two years ago to allow Bloomberg to run for an unprecedented third term, otherwise prohibited by two term limits.

2. Now bring in some Port-a-Johns

Funny you should mention that.

Just as I was drifting off to sleep last night a thought popped into my head. "Oh my goodness, what do they have available for facilities?" As a thrice-postpartum female I always have the location of the next bathroom plotted out well in advance. I can't believe it was the first time I wondered.

4. I think they've mainly been using the local McDonald's

But that's a pretty minimal option -- and finding places to shower is even harder.

3. Russell Simmons was willing to pay for clean-up costs, why not

some port-a-johns.
