Saw the Drudge headline “NYC storeowners fight off thieves with machetes” - eagerly clicked to see which borough…and then, well, I got a little misty eyed with pride for Brooklyn.

My Brooklyn.

Where storeowners fight off thieves with machetes!

You got a fuckin’ problem wit’ ‘dat?

* - That’s actually our borough’s official motto - “Where storeowners fight off thieves with machetes! You got a fuckin’ problem wit’ ‘dat?”
