No dirt on Thompson until Doomberg’s smear campaign! How convenient! Both men are good leaders. Thompson is just better for NYC. And for good measure, he’s just as economically and financially saavy as Bloomberg.
‘Comptroller’ is a pseudolearned respelling of ‘controller,’ taken by English from Old French. The fancy spelling is doubtless due to an erroneous association with French ‘compte’ “count.” The word has fairly recently acquired a new pronunciation based on the misspelling.

Is “compte” also related to “compute?”
I dunno, Arkady- if BHO is really Barack Hussein Obama, his postings seem pretty heartfelt 🙂
Ah, Mr. Prez- a word?

I was just about to say the same thing Arkady. Big O needs Dem seats for his policies to go through.
