Here is a puzzler for Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City: What two things do all 15 of these mayors (and former mayors) have in common?
Mayor Patricia Christensen – Port St. Lucie, Florida
Mayor Will Wynn – Austin,
Texas
Mayor Sheila Dixon – Baltimore, Maryland
Mayor Eddie Perez – Hartford, Connecticut
Mayor Gary Becker – Racine, Wisconsin
Mayor April Capone Almon – East Haven, Connecticut
Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick – Detroit, Michigan

Mississippi

Answer: They are all criminals, and they are all members (or former members) of your "crime fighting" organization.
Note to Mayor Bloomberg: Instead of background checks on gun buyers, you ought to lobby for background checks on mayors. But "Mayors Against Illegal Mayors" doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, does it?
