And when the same is said of the IRS abuses, of which there is a TON of evidence, well, ex-destroying of evidence (some of which has now been recovered), you're silent. So convenient.

I think I get it now. I sincerely believe you're a paid government agent of misinformation. I've always wanted to meet one, so it's cool to know the government cares enough to send you here. It makes the rest of us feel kind of important.

It's the only way I believe someone as obtuse as you would be here.

Re: Jersey City prepares for decision on Ferguson indictment

This Garner non indictment is horse shit. Pure and simple. I for one am vehemently against the rise of a more aggressive and militarized police presence. This case may not relate directly to that concept, but overall it was a completely unnecessary tragedy.

Hell I'll even go so far as to say most cops I've met are a cocky bunch of assholes on a power trip because they were mostly losers in school. They got this one dead wrong. I'm allowed to disagree with the GJ decision. They're not infallible. And yes I will take solace if that scumbag cop loses his job.

Still, the cop in the Eric Garner case should have been indicted. That one's a little f*cked up. Gotta scratch the head at this one.

Why on earth would a police officer's family member be at the scene? To bring him donuts during his shift? What kind of nonsense is that?

Would you like to talk about the tooth fairy or the Easter bunny next?

I am starting to think, and I mean this with all sincerity, that Old Skool has been playing hooky from the A. Harry Moore school and we need to call someone soon. No one with sufficient mental faculties can be this asinine, can they?

Re: The Kitchen at Grove Station (corner of Columbus and Marin)

Home away from home

Love this place! Went for brunch, and had some great steak and eggs. Service is still working out the kinks, but the food is very good.

The only complaint is that they need a curtain or outside door system when it's cold out. Every time people come in, a massive freezing wind comes in with them.

Other than that, what a great use of the space!

As someone who doesn't agree with Monroe on much I agree that this PC outrage over Michael Brown is out of control. The guy had a criminal record and robbed a store ! We will never know the real story on the interaction between Brown and Wilson. But all this wringing of hands for a thief who refused to follow the orders of a police officer is ridiculous. Trayvon Martin's death was a tragedy. This incident doesn't reach that level.

Agreed. All this hub bub over the wrong person. Not a role model. Not a stand up citizen. A low life. Yet little to no outrage over the 12 year old that got blasted by the police. So many useful idiots it's hard to count.

That's funny. I didn't know Congress passed Executive Orders...

It'll continue to get worse as long as we have a POTUS who encourages illegal immigration and porous borders.

Realistically, it is politically expedient for democrats to encourage large Latino populations to enter the US, legally or illegally, and then amnesty the illegals thereby permitting them to vote (or to simply fight voter ID laws). Romney won the white vote by what, close to 20 pts? A few generations ago that would have been determinative.

Precisely! That's why I laugh when Bill Maher (whom I actually like) tried to "Flip a District" (but failed miserably). He's ardently against gerrymandering, when in fact this type of policy is the biggest gerrymandering of all!

What makes me laugh harder is that black voters would overwhelmingly vote for Barry for a third term despite the fact he just made blacks more of a minority voice by about 5 million people. Such stupidity.

My only beef with tapas joints is they're usually a huge ripoff. Some have portions smaller than appetizers yet cost 7, 8 or 9 bucks! I hope this new spot gets it right.

I'd guess not.

Privilege is being able to loot while talking heads apologize and make excuses for you.

I think the proper term is "white guilt". It something Jon Stewart etc all suffer from.

Small group rallies in Jersey City for justice in Ferguson, Mo. - Jersey Journal

A rally for justice, spurred on by the events in Ferguson, Mo., was overshadowed by the promise of free turkeys this afternoon on Martin Luther King Drive in Jersey City.

The North Jersey chapter of the National Action Network held a rally to protest the grand jury?s decision not to indict Police Officer Darren Wilson in the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Less than 10 people participated in the rally, but they made sure that the hundreds of people lined up for free Thanksgiving meals across the street heard their message.

?We?re standing for people who can?t stand for themselves,? said Kenyaetta Williams, 45, of Jersey City.

?I expected it,? Williams said of the grand jury?s decision. ?But I also expected more people out here today,? she said. ?All the turkeys are giving out turkeys,? she said.

Jersey Journal - Story & Photos

?All the turkeys are giving out turkeys,?

Nice thing to say about people who are volunteering their time to help the needy, just happened to be police officers and who had NOTHING to do with the events in Ferguson. Would she rather that people don't eat on Thanksgiving?

I wonder if she had a protest for the senseless killing of that cop this past summer.

What an idiotic thing to say.

Vigilante, you are familiar with the concept and definition of an accident right? And really, parenting advice from a fool who can't even have the decency to leash his own dog? Get your head or of your ass, man.

Now, I'm with you, if, due to a parent's pure negligence the child got hurt and then they sued the city (even though it probably is a safety hazard). But jeez man, just TRY to put yourself in someone else's shoes for just one minute and break out of this myopic world view of selfish asshole-ness in which you live.

For all the morons who keep shouting the "but, but Bush and Reagan did the same thing!" No,, they didn't even do close to the same thing. Try to read more than just the headlines of CNN and MSNBC.

CONGRESS granted amnesty in 87 and 89 I believe (as is THEIR JOB, not King Obama, the person who said himself "I don't have the authority to do this"!) for around 3 million people. But it excluded the spouses and children of those given reprieve. Bush and Reagan, seeing the unintended consequence of breaking up thousands of families, issued executive orders to clean up the bill Congress passed.

Get your facts straight.

7 years of Booker is indeed a long time and one would expect to have seen some kind of accomplishment during that time.

By saying he's "a significant upgrade over Sharpe James" how do you measure this? Because he wasn't as corrupt (or at least caught being such) or stole millions upon millions? That's all great, but it's a very very low bar and hardly qualifies as doing a "good job". Same goes for Fulop. No dent in crime. No dent in anything meaningful. But they've both got GREAT PR spins, that's for sure.

What exactly did Booker accomplish to transform Newark in a way that made people say "yeah, that guy should be senator" aside from him being black and a democrat. (yes, I get it, this time around he had no real opponent).

He did nothing, except he had flashy PR campaigns saving animals from burning buildings and using the city as his personal leaping for his political aspirations. It's resume padding at its finest.

And, in your response, please stop going back to the broken record response of "Well, Christie....blah blah blah" because I didn't vote for him, and wouldn't if he ran for president. Answer these questions on their own merit Pebs (or anyone else).
