From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:For accountability and strong police (in a sensitive, Naderite way)
Smarter Times today delves into the Times' desription of NY mayoral candidate Mark Green's 1982 apologia for Joseph Stalin. I found it interesting that Green's TV ads are positioning Green as....Rudy Giuliani. The three platforms in his ad are - beef up the police, reform schools, and pay teachers for performance. Come to think of it, maybe he's running as Bret Schundler? Changing one's spots to co-opt the opposition's playbook is not a new strategy (Clinton), But Green's undergone a Republican organ transplant.
