A good slogan is hard to find

| | Comments (0) |

In politics, everyone is looking for a good slogan. Just the right play and rhythm that encapsulates an idea.
And, when a good one comes along, you have to recognize it, give credit to its author and then, steal it.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said he had no qualms with one he heard on Thursday at the unveiling of a mural with the LA Best after school program.
"Prevention not detention," Villaraigosa said after being told it was the them of artist Charles Warren in developing the mural.
"I'll give credit for it today, but when you hear me say it in the future, I'm claiming it as my own," Villaraigosa joked to the crowd.
