• Why pick on all of Keansburg?

  The APP ran the following story today about the Keanburg Board of Ed meeting following the revelation of the Barbara Trzeszkowski buy-out fiasco:
  
  Despite furor, no crowd at school board meeting
  
  I call shenanigans.
  
  Once you get into the story, you realize that there was [...]

• Buy my book

  I deliberately try to avoid mixing my literary endeavors with my Monmouth ramblings, but I have a book coming out and I owe my publisher some half-way decent local promotion.
  
  My short story collection, The Suburban Swindle, is now available for pre-order direct from [...]

• NY Times takes Chris Christie down a notch or two

  Check out today's New York Times article.
  
  Here are some choice excerpts:In 2002, when Mr. Christie’s office won an indictment against the Essex County executive, James Treffinger, a popular Republican, he was not permitted to surrender like most elected officials who find themselves in similar circumstances. Instead, Mr.' [...]

• DWI legislator

  The Star-Ledger has a solid editorial lambasting the Statehouse and Gov. Corzine for approving a measure to rename Route 23 for former Congressman Robert Roe.
  
  Roe, who ironically served on the House Transportation Committee, caused a drunk driving accident in 1993 shortly after retiring from Congress.
  
  You'd' [...]

• Comment to Abe

  I wrote this comment on Honest Abe's blog, but I thought it was worth reposting:William A. Newell said...
  This might have something to do with that thing about getting Romney delegates on the June primary ballot.

  Less than an hour after Mitt Romney suspended his campaign, PolitickerNJ.com reported that Adam Puharic wants Joe Kyrillos to run for U.S. Senate.

• R's can thank an anonymous blogger

  Not all anonymous Republican bloggers are of the Rasta variety.
  
  One of the best untold stories of this election season, IMHO, is that the 'Farmer Karcher' item originally came from anonymous blogger Sen. Barry Goldwater way back in April.
  
  Of course, it's very likely that Beck's team [...]

  Not that I've ever been very convinced of Chris Christie's superpowers.

  The APP has an excellent article about convicted ex-Keyport Mayor John Merla. Very well written article. Really captures Merla's personality.

  PoliticsNJ's rapid post-Kornacki decline brought a tiny little tear to my eye.
