I’ve never seen “Slum Dog Millionaire” (Yes, I’m the one.) but if the story ends with the kid from India winning the big game show, then the exact opposite is what happened to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal after his Republican Response to Pres. Obama’s Address to Congress this week. On a night when Obama wasn’t [...]
To everything there is a season, and this one is baseball! It starts today with Mets-Marlins on TV and two scorless innings by Oliver and two more by someone called Dillon Gee. I’m eating a chicken parm and drinking a root beer and watching live baseball! Jose reyes just hit a grand slam! Can summer [...]
I haven’t been blogging for very long, a few months really. I’m not even sure I can hang in there long enough to make a real go of this venture. There ain’t no money in it, or at least not a lot, anyway. None the less, there are a lot of bloggers out there, people [...]
By now, some of you may have seen the ranting “report” by CNBC “reporter” Rick Santelli last week. It came during a live report on the Obama mortgage rescue plan. You can watch the “report” below. The guy has since become fodder for Fox News and others of that ilk, who say that Santelli is [...]
I haven’t been out on the street late at night in a while. (The more time one has on one’s hands, the less time one tends to spend outside…) I’ll blame the weather. It’s been a longer, colder winter than I expected around here. From the summer of 2008, winter 2009 looked pretty damn good. [...]

The Ledger has a piece on line (which I guess is NJ.com, right?) about this guy who’s the top military recruiter in the country. Um, way to go, dude? Nice job recruiting all those poor kids from Perth Amboy, where they could be doing so many other things. A big nod to NJ.com, also, for [...]
“Why aren’t you blogging about that New York Post cartoon,” asked a friend this week. Well, I figured that everyone else was writing about it, and who needs another bloggedy-blog blogger blogging about it, right?
But I bow to the will of the crowd, so here’s my two pennies worth. First of all, I don’t get [...]
One of Bob Marley’s biggest hits is “Three Little Birds.” Most of us know it as “Don’t Worry About a Thing.” Bob sings “Don’t worry about a thing, ‘cause every little thing’s gonna be alright.” I was singing it all the way home after Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy’s State of the City speech tonight. [...]
I wondered who was going to be the first to get rough in the municipal campaign in Jersey City. You just know that, with all that’s at stake, the gloves will be off, but former County Sheriff Joe Cassidy, running for an at large council seat with Lou Manzo, hurled the first punch – and [...]
