    I can't imagine 15 minutes about Michael Reagan. Other than "son of Ronald Reagan and talk radio host" what's to say??

    "Sarah Palin quoting Newt Gingrich on Ronald Reagan" pretty much sums up everything that is all wrong and sad about the GOP now.

    An article 3.5 years old is "recent"? In this era of practically instant news streams? Hm.

    The mere fact that she can read is newsworthy. I'm surprised she didn't plagiarize from The Economist.

    Aren't some things so banal that they can't be plagiarized? I seriously doubt Newt Gingrich was the first person to spout platitudes about St. Raygun and how the key to the conservative renaissance will be loving his memory so much.

    It's nice to see that SI writers were a bunch of whiney little hall monitors back in the 60s as well.

    In reply to Violent Crime Wave Makes Downtown NYC Slightly Less Not-Dangerous!
    Even one more crime happening on our streets is a problem, not to mention a 43% increase, especially when that crime is happening to you or before your eyes.


    I was one of these cases. A month or two a man approached me on Bleeker and Macdougal streets, punched me, and mugged me. It was 10pm on a Wednesday night. I was severely scarred on account of it and didn't want to leave the house for a week. My work and relationships suffered.


    When I finally did make it out the next week to go to my gym, I witnessed a brutal mugging on Prince and Greene. The man's cheekbone was cut and swollen, masking his eyeballs, and the men continued to brutalize him. Enraged at the situation, I yelled to them that I was calling the police immediately and they scattered. The man was crying.


    You might think it is funny to poke at an increase of "2 cases every 3 weeks", but they are not a fucking joke. I would venture that if your little sister or friend were amongst the victims you wouldn't be mocking these numbers either.

    @effthepolice: Nobody's mocking someone getting mugged or assaulted. I'm mocking the Post's characterization of the increase in these incidents.
