By Zebulon Pike | July 3, 2009My hunch is that fewer people will attend tomorrow's Tea Party at 11 am on the Morristown Green than the number who attended on April 15.

A very interesting state Superior Court ruling this week said, in effect, that bloggers who blog on their own are not necessarily journalists. That means they are NOT protected by the state's reporters' shield law. The ruling stemmed from a case involving New Jersey companies and' [...]

You really do have to feel sorry for Joe DiVincenzo having to make that call yesterday about the fireworks in Brookdale Park. There were enough brief periods of brilliant sunshine in between the torrential downpours to want to believe the weather would come through.
