Jackass of the Year Nominee: Rep. Chaka Fattah
The Philadelphia area Congressman was convicted of 29 counts of corruption; to the credit of voters, he was primaried last April 43-36 by a state representative. Fattah is a former 2007 candidate for Philadelphia mayor; this is a complicated mess of old campaign debt, federal grants to connected entities, disbursements from federal or campaign money for personal family benefit and various political quid pro quos. Whereas most of the Democratic establishment did abandon him after federal indictments, he still retained powerful allies.
Congratulations to NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers!
Readers know I am a Spurs fan (I got a dirt cheap student package while at OLL when the Spurs were still part of the ABA with its multi-colored baskets and then innovative 3-point shots). The Spurs dominated this year's first round just to get ousted by the Thunder; almost everyone was expecting a Spurs-Warriors conference shootout: the Warriors just lost 9 of its 82 season games, while the Spurs just lost one of its 41 home games all season (to guess who?)
To be honest, with a strong final 3 straight victories against the Thunder and starting out with 3 wins in 4 games against the Cavaliers, the Warriors looked to have a lock on a second straight NBA championship over the Cavaliers. After all, the Cavaliers had to win 2 of 3 on the road, and the Warriors' 9 losses rarely occurred in clumps and they had lost only 2 games at home all season. Now of course it's a team sport, but LeBron James was in a league of his own, perhaps only comparable to Michael Jordan in his prime, during the ending 3-game sweep which included consecutive 41-point games and a triple-double finale gem, including a monster block which killed a Warrior comeback. League MVP Steph Curry didn't measure up with the title on the line and in fact seemed to turn over the ball more than anyone down the stretch.
Don Boudreaux of Cafe Hayek Takes On Criminal Justice Reform
Familiar readers know I probably reference Boudreaux more than any other current economist. I have been beating the drum for criminal justice reform for some time now in the blog.
