New Jersey has announced that it will bail out homeowners who may lose their homes. It seems that they want to buy the homes from the owners at market prices. If I didn’t feel like I had a Plantar Fasciitis in my foot right now, I would be hopping up and down with [...]

Runaway spending, a crumbling education system, rampant illegal immigration, corruption at every level of government, a bankrupt social security system, and a failed foreign policy make it more important than ever to offer to the voters of New Jersey a real choice this coming November.

While I am all for every citizen keeping their yard clean, tidy and in repair, I cringe when government feels that they need to step in and enforce “tidiness.” I recently received my property tax bill from Edison Township, New Jersey. Included along with the tax bill was a flyer “Township of Edison’s [...]
While I am all for every citizen keeping their yard clean, tidy and in repair, I cringe when government feels that they need to step in and enforce "tidiness." I recently received my property tax bill from Edison Township, New Jersey. Included along with the tax bill was a flyer "Township of Edison's Quality of Life Improvement Initiative." The first paragraph states:
Property ownership is a sizable investment. Therefore, it is important for home and business owners to ... Read More

Frank Lautenberg is running for another term in the US Senate from New Jersey. He is 84 years old. When his term expires we will be 90. Lautenberg doesn’t think that you should consider is age - it seems that he has forgotten about his run against 72 year old Millicent Fenwick [...]
Frank Lautenberg is running for another term in the US Senate from New Jersey. He is 84 years old. When his term expires we will be 90. Lautenberg doesn't think that you should consider is age - it seems that he has forgotten about his run against 72 year old Millicent Fenwick in 1982. Although he didn't come right out and say that she was too old, he did make the point by making her appear older in ... 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. [...]

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:
