PS: If you read the article, take note that the 10th Precinct is the Chelsea neighborhood.

Ask the NYC Patrolmen's Benevolent Association what they think of Bloomberg's claim of lower crime statistics. Police Brass ‘Cooking’ Books, PBA Says Some people choose to stick their heads in the sand, and others do not.

Brian, I agree. I had some reservations about Bloomberg at first, but I think he's proved himself to be a pretty good mayor overall.

Oh, I beg to differ. Rather than Kerrey stealing B'Burg's spotlight from the magazine article, I think it was the other way around - at least for me, the reader. Not only are the Time honors a nice endorsement of Bloomberg, but it's just the thing to get everyone's attention away from this Kerrey guy, who obviously has no serious intention of running. And, if he did, his platform is fractionally weaker than any candidate running for either party right now. He has no stance on any issues, no campaign, and has had no role in the public discourse until this week. I wouldn't even think of voting for him at the moment, and it's unlikely I'd pick him over Bloomberg in the long run. (This city IS running a lot better since Mayor Mike took over, and I'd absolutely like to see more of that)
