		<description><![CDATA[<p>Here is a slightly random interview with O. Aldon James, Jr. the whimsical and colorful president of the National Arts Club. He hosted a book party last night in Gramercy for Herman Badillo which was attended by Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg plugged Badillo’s book, <a href="http://us.penguingroup.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,9781595230195,00.html" target="_blank">One Nation, One Standard</a>, which talks about having high educational standards, and criticizes social promotion, an educational policy Bloomberg ended. </p>
<p>That inspirational talk about standards and efficiency was enough to convince Aldon that Bloomberg should be president. In fact, Aldon said, he&#039;d rather hang out with Bloomberg than any of the candidates running for office. </p>
<p>Barack Obama did get an honorable mention from Aldon because, like Bill Clinton, they’re all Leos. And as Aldon put it, “Leos make wonderful leaders. Fidel Castro is a Leo.” </p>
<p> (Bloomberg is an Aquarius. And, in the spirit of full disclosure, the author of this post is a Leo.)</p>
