New Year's Wish (Hint)

If Michael Bloomberg runs for prexy and wins, will he treat the White House as he has treated Gracie Mansion?

The reflexive inclination to wish everyone a Happy New Year! is muted somewhat by the recollection that 2008 brings a presidential election. After all that we’ve been through in the past seven years, the elation that one might normally feel is difficult to summon. I dare not express my fondest wish, beyond hinting that it would be great if the ceremonial occupant of the modest mansion shown above won the right to pass up another, rather more famous home on an avenue beginning with the letter “P.” The man likes town houses, it seems; didn’t the Truman’s live at Blair House?
