World Class Ball-Dropper

New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg has announced that Bill Clinton will have the honor of pushing the button that lowers the Times Square New Year's Eve Ball again next New Year's Eve.

According to CBS News, next year's ball "could once again double the size of previous balls will still be covered in Waterford Crystals but may require more."

Organizers of the New Year's Eve party say the bigger the balls, the brighter it will be in Times Square.

Bloomberg stated that, "Hillary helped last year but as Secretary of State could be anywhere at that time. So I've asked the guy who knows more about lowering balls than anybody else I know to join me once again."

The mayor also stated that they could drop balls for any special occasion, the Queen's visit, Fourth of July, whatever.

"The former president says that anytime there's a lowering of balls he'd like to come."

"In fact, Bill says that it'll be even better if Hillary is somewhere else because he knows what a secretary of state has to do and that it "would be nicer for him to have her here but better for the world if she's out there giving up her precious time unselfishly serving her country."
