    Interesting I guess -- she's rather lame -- Luke isn't. perhaps you put up the interview because she mentions you as being smart and stuff -- which you are but...her article saying people shouldn't protest the war and march in the streets because cops are strapped for cash and should be all focused on terrorism instead -- just to mention one article beyond the pale -- not only is this wrong, but most protests have way to many cops at them anyways -- 1-2 cops per 1000 people isright for most crowds -- 1000 cops per 2000 protestors equal cops getting easy overtime -- she fits right in at the Manhattan Institute.

    Have a good weekend everybody...

    Actually, I'd guess that Luke put in that parenthetical, not her ... and I wouldn't-a posted it if I had remembered.

    I really enjoyed the interview - it was a view
    into a part of the chattering classes that I
    do not interact with. What struck me was how
    different her social environment is from mine.

    Cool.

    I hate people who enjoy talking about themselves. Really, I do.
