Maybe This Time It Will Work?
This afternoon, a whole host of top law enforcement and political types are holding a press conference to announce "cooperative efforts in confronting gang violence." Um... does this mean no one was cooperating before? The announcement doesn't give much detail on how everyone is planning to cooperate, but we're willing to bet it will include measures, crackdowns, injunctions and targeting.
Let's wish Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O'Brien and Police Chief William Bratton the best in their cooperative efforts.

He's seen it all - the missing model who turned up dead in the desert, the wives found dead in trunks, the high-school coaches who get a little too close to their players. He drives his young colleagues nuts with his "I remember when" stories. He welcomes your tips and observations about the present, and you can mix in a little Lakers basketball talk if you like.
