Ratman Begins

An odd Q&A with the Darth Sidious of NBA owners, Bruce Ratner, appeared in the New York Times Magazine this weekend. Is he TRYING to come across as a bad-guy pro wrestler? He sings the praises of "advertisements all over the place" in stadiums, badmouths buses, belittles panhandlers, and happily admits to having not been a basketball fan. And somewhere in there, a cautionary tale: As you age and become successful, idealism can vanish if you're not vigilant.

Fight the good fight against him, Brooklyn. But as a New Jerseyan, I can only say, good riddance.
