NEW YORK (AP) — Mayor Michael Bloomberg isn't playing games. After he saw a game of solitaire on a city employee's computer screen, he fired him.
The Republican mayor stopped by the city's legislative office in Albany a few weeks ago while visiting the state Capitol to hear the governor's State of the State address.
Office assistant Edward Greenwood IX was going over some papers at his desk as Bloomberg made the rounds with his photographer, greeting workers and posing for pictures.

But the mayor noticed Greenwood's game of solitaire glowing on his screen. He said nothing about it to Greenwood but later told an aide to give him the ax.
