Don't reward bad behavior. It is one of the first rules of parenting. During the financial cataclysm of 2008, we said it differently.

As one who was a prosecutor for many years, I can tell you that having a tape recording of interrogations would help everybody.

The Occupy movement needs an organizing principle, and - just as the Tea Party did - it needs some actual measures of success. Choose one candidate whose agenda is squarely within that of the movement and make his or her electoral success a focal point.

Every trial lawyer knows what it is like to sit patiently while the other side puts on its case.
