New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has caused a media furor by staying mum about a mysterious weekend getaway after he returned to winter-weary Manhattan this week sporting a tan. The controversy has been fueled by New York's $4.8 billion budget deficit, due in large part to lower Manhattan's devastation. The New York Times accused the former media-mogul of defying mayoral tradition "of telling New Yorkers -- whether they cared or not -- where they were headed," while The New York Post ran a photo of Bloomberg's mug on a milk carton with the caption, "Have You Seen Me?" His aides, meanwhile, insist he looks much redder in photos than he does in reality.
