Alex Tabarrok is exactly right: Getting tough on crime means hiring more detectives and catching more criminals, NOT imposing longer prison sentences.

The problem with police openly doing crimes like this is the message it sends - if police don’t follow the law, why should you? Especially considering it buts bicycle and scooter riders in danger. https://t.co/tLPp8VfjNr

This is exactly what Chuck Schumer doesn't seem to get about his job.

Schumer is an extremely skilled politician who unfortunately has continued to prioritize his *personal* political needs having stepped into a leadership role that requires McConnell Energy where you're willing to be the bad guy on behalf of the caucus.

As a popularist, I would advise American politicians to embrace our nation's love of hard work and French politicians to embrace their nation's love of being lazy.

I strongly feel the NYT should ban all its personnel from tweeting.
It would strengthen the Times' brand and credibility, and also let me gain more mindshare on twitter.

Countries that have formal military alliances with the United States of America have a habit of not getting invaded.

10/Critics often trot out pie charts showing that defense is a huge part of "discretionary" spending.
But that's only because we've chosen to label health, welfare, and retirement spending "mandatory" -- which reflects the fact that we prioritize those things highly!!

OMG this is true. YA has now been standardized into a bunch of rigid genre conventions designed to make 35-year-olds feel like they're reading something that was written for 14-year-olds.
