Jonh Goldberg says that The Wire should be more popular amongst conservatives. He argues that conservatives should love The Wire because it shows what happens when you let Democrats run a major, if declining, American city. Well! At a certain point this is too dull for words: have we really reached the stage where even TV programmes have to be apportioned between conservatives and liberals so that watching television becomes a dreary act by which one demonstrates ones political allegiance?
In any case, if you have to investigate The Wire's politics, it seems to me that you might be tempted to conclude that it endorses a libertarian view of local politics, rather than conservative or liberal perspective. No wonder it's such a trendy show to like... The evidence is there: manifest failure of a crippling and immoral war on drugs? Check. Manifest failure of a school system resistant to reform and implicitly ripe, therefore, for real school choice? Check. Desperate consequences of the criminalisation of prostitution? For sure. Ghastly consequences of local government and planning regulations held hostage by rent-seeking? Yup, that too.
Factor in The Wire's popularity amongst educated pointy-headed Beltway-libertarian types and the fact that it wasn't very popular across the country as a whole and, yup, it seems clear that The Wire was probably too libertarian to be successful. Hence no EMMYs and precious few viewers.
You can not rely getting viewer by slagging this or that all the time. People easily see it through that you really do not have much to say yourself.

All PAP new candidates or I should say GRC new members are getting something from nothing. And this 'nothing' is costing the Singapore $15k per month for EACH NEW MP which want to serve people by learning on the ground. Darvocet N
At the same time, they are holding a Full-time day job. How much time they can help the residents and not mentioning country's policy. For country's policies, they will let the Minister to worry as is not their primary job. For residents problems, they have RC, CCC and other volunteers to write on behalf of them. So tell me, why we need 87 MPs and cost Singapore millions of dollars to pay PAP or just another way to concrete your own political empire at the expense of all Singaporean.

That is why he emphasized again. However, I would like to highlight here is that he as a minister and being paid as high as a CEO package, should he questions his own capabilities and his ministry of what has done to address all the housing problem highlighted by the people. Can Mr Mah in future, increase the price of HDB Generic Soma (which is good for the current home owner) and still make the new HDB affordable to the next generation? What this imply is that as the value of your (current home owner) flat increases, DON’T FORGET THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOUR KIDS (NEXT GENERATION) HAS TO FORK OUT FOR THE NEW FLATS. Don’t think either PAP or WP would be able to come out with a good solution. BUT if we keep supporting the current HDB policy, we will only has to bear the consequences we are facing now. Have anyone noticed, when the property market is HOT, HDB always launched BTO flats/ Executive condominium. It is more expensive and I would say more profitable for HDB. Please show us statistic if this statement is untrue.Generic Soma
