Bloomberg...what an a-hole:

"The ruling came after Mayor Michael Bloomberg fired a worker in the city's legislative office in Albany earlier this year after he saw the man playing a game of solitaire on his computer."

I caught the CEO at my first job playing Solitaire in her office once. This was a few weeks after the first rounds of lay offs.
