My Own Political Party

Not only do they have notebooks, textbooks, pens, pencils and the occasional acne treatments in their backpacks, college students are also often seen with Obama pins and stickers on their bags. In a recent poll in Pennsylvania, 71 percent of college students in the state supported Obama. Of course, this is not very surprising. Obama has won that section of the vote in almost every state since the primaries began. Unfortunately for Obama, voter turnout among college age voters still ... Read More

Now something from the annals of weird politics. Back in 2004, a Zimbabwean politician offended the party he was representing when it was determined that he was handing out hot lingerie in order to gain women voters. I certainly hope that the women were smarter than to accept something like this for their vote. It might have been a little more appropriate to hand out food and other life necessities in a country where $100 a month is ... Read More

I am always hesitant about a candidate when I read that they are receiving a large number of support from college students. Unlike the American Revolution, where a small group of individuals raised awareness about the tyranny of England and vowed to give the people individual rights including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, other revolution that we now do not admire have been propagated on university campuses. Take for instance China. The university students in China were all in ... Read More

April 22, 2008 was a big day for Hillary Clinton. She easily won the Pennsylvania Democratic primary. Even with 55 percent of voters favoring Clinton, she only received 83 delegates compared to Barack Obama's 73 delegates. This still puts her behind by 135 delegates. Hopefully, she hasn't hired any movers New York to Washington DC yet. What's next for Clinton? She still is using the tired phrase "ready to lead on day one" and is having trouble paying ...

Spitzer has been out of the news after the big prostitution ring blow up. I guess he is awaiting trial. I wonder if he is focusing on bedding sets or actually hiring himself a good lawyer. I think he should represent himself. That would be the case to watch. David Letterman did a Top Ten list on Eliot Spitzer's Excuses. Hilarious! Read More

I just read, with much glee, an article by Paul Mushine. Our "beloved" governor, Jon Corzine, has been holding town meetings throughout the state trying to convince the public that his toll hike plans are a fantastic idea. Corzine talks about the plan and then takes questions which he really does not answer. Mushine, has put together an fantasy situation in which Corzine does answer the questions truthfully. My favorite: Q. I've noticed that you added $4 billion in ... Read More

John McCain IS the Republican nominee. Am I happy about it? NO. McCain is trying his hardest to win back those Republicans who really don't think he is a Republican. It looks like it is working. McCain didn't have to use any digital signage or billboards to convince them. Maybe his constant on-the-road speeches have worked. I doubt that as well. I think it is this. We don't have a choice. That's ... Read More

I posted earlier about Sharpe James, the dishonest ex-Mayor of Newark. He spent over $58,000 in city funds on personal items. PLUS, he sold city property to a "friend" (i.e. girlfriend) for only $46,000. She quickly resold this property for over $600,000. This is money that the city of Newark could have utilized. Thank goodness for justice. Sharpe James was convicted this week on ALL charges. I know that $58,000 doesn't sound like much, but ... Read More

Last year, New Jersey held a contest to find a new motto. The one that was chosen was "New Jersey, Come See For Yourself." It seems not many people liked that slogan and it had been used by other states. In steps Joey, a 13-year-old from Roxbury, who came up with his own - "New Jersey, Home for All Seasons." He is even enlisting the help of Senator Ray Lesniak to help his cause. Lesniak is trying ... Read More

This Weeks Hero Was Suggested By Mary Ann Spc. Jeffrey Jamaleldine Company C, 1st Battalion, 77th Armor "How can I say to my sons, stand up for something, fight for what you think is right, if I don't do anything myself?" The Jeffrey Jamaleldine that you speak to today is a complete 180 from the Jeffrey Jamaleldine that you would have spoke to in the past. In 1991, Jamaleldin was living in Germany when joined in anti-American protests on Berlin's Kurfürstendamm boulevard during Operation Desert ... Read More
