IS MICHELLE MALKIN FOR REAL? Some of the crap she puts out is so bad I can't help but wonder. Take, for example, a column written in March, "In Praise of Police": "When was the last time you thanked a cop? And wouldn't it be nice if, for just a brief moment, the mainstream media would hold a ceasefire in its incessant cop-bashing crusades?"

Thank a cop? For what? Driving around town looking for people to pull over?

UPDATE: More Malkin insights here. You do realize that most gangs organize and thrive as a result of non-market institutions, right? I think the point you are missing is that gang crime does pay.
