Always a Bridesmaid! Kudos to the first-responders!! The plane almost went for Teterboro but didn't have enough power. Excellent flying by those pilots!


Not sure if you're kidding, Vigilante, but that's exactly how it came across in Mikey's news conference.

Read it or not, but I won't keep repeating myself as to why Schundler's term in honest was a fraud against the entire citizenry of Jersey City, from his selling out a $40 million dollar loan to Lefrak to develop the waterfront for .12 cents on the dollar to reduce the municipal debt so when he ran for Governor he could claim he "balanced the budget" to his selling out our water supply to United Water with his formation of the Municipal Utility Authority, to his trying to end the protection of the Embankment while in office, then last fall claiming "I now support all your efforts at preservation" at our Embankment Restaurant fundraiser. The list goes on and on and the best one-stop source of all of Brother Brett's crimes against Jersey City are documented with all of the reports by the State, by local and statewide media and by Brett's own words.


It's Bret, not Brett, BrightMoment, but then typical of most communists close reading and understanding is a skill beyond your comprehension, despite the fact that Schundler's first name is right in your sig.

Since BM just told you to read some kooky websites in his sig instead providing an honest answer to your question, here's my stab at it:

BM dislikes (you're being kind in using that term, he actually hates him) Bret Schundler because Bret Schundler is a Republican and BrightMoment is a communist.

It's pretty simple, JCNJ.

If the parking spaces you pictured are available for all units in SH, I'll gladly stand corrected.

The SH place is a a top JC condo in my opinion, and truly a go-to place if one has cash to buy in this market.

It's all relative. The Sugar House is still cheaper than the Manhattan equivalent.

I would kill or die to live there. It's gorgeousity. The only flaw is sort of limited walk-to amenities around there (in my opinion) but life would be so good on the inside that I wouldn't care.


+1

SH is the one of the FEW properties in JC I would buy if the prices came down enough.

The only drawback is that they have no parking garage and you have to rent it in Portside.

But otherwise, as JM said, it's pure, historical gorgeousity with killer views to boot.

Re: Unleashed Pit Bull attacks jogger in Lincoln Park -- Owner leaves woman bleeding
#38

Home away from home


Evolution gave pitbulls their massive jaws, their massive heads, and their massive chests for a reason.

That reason ain't to be cuddly. That reason is to kill their prey, and quickly.

Evolution also gave pitbulls their brains, which are wired for killing.

Having a loving household only blunts that instinct. I'd hate to encounter a pitbull which is pissed off at the moment, or feeling threatened by me for some reason, loving household notwithstanding.

What gets me is not that people are allowed to walk un-muzzled pitbulls in public; it is that it is illegal for me to protect myself by (for example) packing a concealed weapon, or even Mace.

It is the double standard that gets me.

The scary thought is that even a concealed weapon would not protect me from a pissed-off pit. The sucker would bite my head off even before I had a chance to reach.

Designation of pitbulls as a dangerous breed and mandatory muzzling is the only solution that I would accept.

But this will take many more maimed grownups and killed children.

It is unbelievable to me that, for example, carrying a Mace canister of certain size is illegal, but walking an un-muzzled pitbull is legal.

I don't care about leashes - even a leashed pitbull can lunge at you.

These dogs need to be muzzled while outside, by law, period. Or else banned altogether.

Somehow, this has to change. ------------------------------------------ Q. How can we lower the debt? A. Younger people and those who are middle or upper income will see a reduction in their Social Security benefits. We also need to encourage people to work longer. And we have to reform health care. Even countries that have socialized medicine limit what they'll spend. There could be universal coverage for basic care.
Which basically means we'll have to work until we drop dead and we'll be getting only rudimentary healthcare in the meantime. It's called the Great Depression II and I am more than ever convinced that it is just around the corner. Don't get me wrong - I agree with the article, but am much more pessimistic than the author. The enormity of the current problems is difficult to contemplate. When we emerge from this (and we will, even if it takes a generation) - America will be a totally different country.

Red-Deutsch:

The story of your family's colon and stomach cancer sounds like JC might be a hot spot for Cr+6. So are bone cancer reports.

When parts of Long Island have been revealed as hot spots for breast cancer it made national news; it seems like nobody cares about JC.

Stay tuned, because we all should call CDC and report here.

I call bullshit on the lung cancer study.

For lung cancer to occur, chromium needs to be airborne, and it often is not, as it is mostly buried and covered with clean fill.

Bone cancer would be my concern, as it would indicate that Cr +6 may be in the water.

I will call CDC and the EPA and try to find out whether JC is a bone cancer hotspot.

The fact is that my first landlady in JC, a wonderful lady who lived in JC all her life, died of bone cancer at 66.

Coincidence?

I think not.

Someone should have measured the Chromium 6 content in her marrow.

Fact is, JC is an extremely toxic environment.

Lipski: 'I am an alcoholic'
by The Jersey Journal
Monday November 10, 2008, 6:27 PM

Conner Jay/The Jersey Journal
Jersey City Councilman Steve Lipski leaves his CREATE Charter School this evening, on the way to the Jersey City council caucus where he read a statement acknowledging he is an alcoholic.
Acknowledging that he is an alcoholic, Jersey City Councilman Steve Lipski addressed the council caucus this evening, apologizing to everyone affected by the incident Friday night in which he is accused of urinating onto fellow concertgoers in a Washington, D.C., club.

Here is the text of his statement:

First and foremost I want to apologize to everyone who has been affected by this mess, especially my wife, the mayor, my colleagues on the council, my constituents, my students and staff at CREATE Charter School and fellow Deadheads. I am truly sorry. Against my attorney's advice I have decided to give a brief statement about circumstances leading up to and following the incident at the Nightclub 9:30 on the night of November 7, 2008. I cannot and will not speak about what actually happened at the club because this matter is still under investigation.
On November 7, 2008, I, with two very close friends, one of whom I have known since kindergarten and had gone to Dead shows back in the '70s and '80s, drove to Washington, D.C., to see Dark Star Orchestra, a Grateful Dead cover band. Having had two years of sobriety, not having to drive, and being with two of my closest friends in the world, I decided to drink alcohol. This was my biggest mistake.

You see, I am an alcoholic, but I had not drunk for two years. I fell off the wagon. Flipped. Crashed. Burned. Whatever one might want to label it, I screwed up.

I'm unsure how the staff at Nightclub 9:30 can say that I had been belligerent and drunk the past few Dark Star Orchestra shows I had seen there when in fact I had been sober.

Since returning to New Jersey, I have gone to two AA meetings, found a new sponsor and have begun working a vigorous program with my wife and my higher power as the co-pilot and I do not plan on rationalizing away my sobriety ever again.

The media is correct in stating that I have not returned their calls. I did this for two reasons.

One, I'm on counsel's advice; and two, I wanted the opportunity to speak directly with you, my family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, constituents, students and staff first.

These past few days have been some of the hardest in my life. I never want to relive them, so I am asking you to help keep me honest and sober. By sharing with you publicly that I am an alcoholic, I will no longer have to hide in the shadow of my disease but I can begin to be liberated. That is the most important reason why I felt I needed to be forthright with you.

To those of you who have comforted my wife and me, I thank you very much. I shall never forget it.

Regardless of the outcome of the legal aspect of this mess, I will still always be your friend and humble servant. Thank you!

Thanks for the story.

Whatever anyone wants to say about Obama's lefty political leanings (I am not crazy about them), the historical aspect of his election is staggering, and overwhelmingly positive for this country and the world, in my view.

I cannot stop thinking about the irony of the full circle the African-Americans went through in America - from the slaves who, with hard labor, built the very foundations of this country to a black US President who may have to re-build and shore up these foundations because of the current, deepening, economic crisis caused by Wall Street greed and corporate stupidity.

I am sure they were lovely.

I am sure they showed their love for Obama.

What you may not know, is that Denmark has the highest individual income tax rate in the world (60%, compared to 36% currently in the US), and that is before they tack on a 20%+ VAT (value added tax, or sales tax) on everything they buy.

The Danes have never met a tax their did not love.

So I hope that their love for Obama is not a harbinger of what is to come to the US, lovely Jillian, or else we're pretty much effed.

Wow. I usually find your comments insightful, even when I disagree, but the above just takes my breath away. Calling The Economist "sooooo far on the left" evinces a staggering level of ignorance and convinces me that you have likely never read the magazine.


A faint praise followed by a devastating right hook, Loopy.

The Economist is on record (according to Wikipedia) endorsing legalized drug use and legalized prostitution, a pretty lefty social position if you ask me.

As to the economic issues thay are a tad more "conservative". I only read The Economist when I get it for free on British Airways (which is infrequent).

But let's not nit-pick - I agree with their editorial on McCain vs Obama.

It is clear that there will be an open season on HENRYs ($250-$500K/year) if Obama wins.

He correctly figured out that they can scream all they want but there's too few of them to make a difference at the polls (5% vs 95%).

Obama threw them under the bus, calling them "rich", and the "wealthiest Americans", and offering them as sacrificial lambs to the disgruntled voters who blame them wholesale for the rising income gap and other ills.

And it will be the overachieving HENRYs who will feel the pain of more taxes most acutely.

Obama's buddies, the truly rich Hollywood airheads and the Oprah Winfreys could not care less - they have so much money they won't even notice paying 10% extra in taxes. Plus, they have ways to get around them.

I want to see those Hollywood a-holes react to a truly socialist tax system like in Sweden or Denmark - where the top tax bracket for the multimillionaires and billionaires is like 70-80%.

They'd be scurrying to Monte Carlo and Monaco like rats.
