Researchers found that nonviolent thefts dropped by 22 percent within 100 feet of the cameras, but the devices had no effect on burglaries or car theft. And they've had no effect on violent crime.

Mayor Gavin Newsom called the report "conclusively inconclusive" on Thursday but said he still wants to install more cameras around the city because they make residents feel safer. [Full Story]

Okay, I'm going to begin a log.  I want to see who's the goofier bastard, Mayor Newsome, or Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.  Fasten your seat belts, this is going down to the wire.

    The guy in the photo is probably the head of the political science department at U.C. Berkeley.

    The guy in the photo is Mayor Gavin Newsome, which you'd know if you spent more time in San Francisco. Sheesh.

    This year is shaping up to be a doozie when it comes to politicians and their shenanigans - don't leave out Detroit's mayor and his legal troubles or New York's new govna and his recent sexual escapades. Oh, and what ties these nitwits all together? They're all Dems, of course. Imagine the hue and cry from the press if they were Republicans.......
