Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Couldn't Happen To A Bigger Asshole

The NYPD is turning against Patrick Lynch, whose confrontational style with de Blasio has caused a continued erosion of support for the NYPD. Plus, the police slow down of exactly the sort of low level harassment  - stop and frisk, broken windows style policing - that upsets minority communities is not leading to more crime.

Well played.
