Lawrence: Bill Bradley did the most dramatic thing I ever saw on the Senate floor







I gathered signatures for his presidential campaign when I was 12 in lower Manhattan. I ended up working on campaigns in six different states.


I love Lawrence's narrations. Not to stereotype, but the Irish really have a gift for storytelling.

Johnson's mixed signals on ShotSpotter add up to another misstep

For context, Chicago's mayor Brandon Johnson pledged to get rid of a technology called ShotSpotter during the mayoral campaign.

To my understanding, there are contradictory reports on whether or not the technology is effective.


Johnson’s mixed signals on ShotSpotter add up to another misstep

The public deserves two things in the wake of Mayor Brandon Johnson's move Tuesday to cancel the city’s ShotSpotter contract: a clear-as-crystal answer as to why he thinks the pricey system is ineffective — and a suitable replacement for the gunfire-detection technology that the city's top cop favors.

Instead, Chicagoans received yet another one of those muddled and maddeningly contradictory "solutions" that have become so typical of the Johnson administration.

The mayor said he is ditching ShotSpotter when the city's $49 million contract ends Friday — but will keep the technology in place through Sept. 22, through a new contract in order to aid crime fighting efforts through the summer and during the high-profile Democratic National Convention in August.

That makes ShotSpotter simultaneously bad enough to get rid of now, and yet good enough to keep around for another six months. Only in Johnson's City Hall does this make sense.

Homer Simpson Calls The Coach's Hotline




A little humor to get you ready for the Super Bowl

"I declare Kanas City to be Smooth Jimmy's lock for the Super Bowl."

Homer: "That's a big lock but I just don't trust that guy"

"I declare San Fransico to be my shoe-in for the Super Bowl."

Homer: "They both make good cases."
