Way to go Obama administration

This petition is so ridiculous I don't even know where to begin. Mr. Silverman has been gracious enough to offer the residents use of his property as a temporary park and now you want to give him agravation because the temporary park won't allow your precious dogs? Way to go lunawolf, start ruining the entire proposal for everyone else.

re: Hamilton Park Closure

To: Jen, Steve, and the rest of HPNA:

Please feel free to close Hamilton Park at your earliest convenience so that the park renovations can be completed ASAP. I am aware I will not be able to use the park during the reconstruction however I am perfectly capable of finding other things to do while the park is being renovated.

Thanks for all of your work and patience,

Regards,

Greg Rutha

Did you not see the word "perhaps" in GnomeGeneral's post?

Makes one wonder exactly how many times these pieces of metal come flying off and luckily land harmlessly someplace and therefore unnoticed. I have to believe this happens many more times than the incidents that actually make the news.

Poverty is a motive for crime. And if you want to throw in bad parenting, societal injustices or any other forms of disenfranchisement that's fine. But they are all only motives at best.

What causes crime is a conscious decision to become a criminal.

It sickens me how many people here seem jump to the defense of minorities the minute somebody intoduces the notion that "non-diverse" communites might have better aspects than "diverse" communites. It's as if the very second anybody dare insults the minority communites you are a rascist or (worse) an un-intellectual conservative neanderthal.

Bottom line is I don't need an astonomer to tell me that the sun rises in the east and I don't need some possibly scewed statistics to tell me in which communites I'm most likely to get shot in and what type of person is going to likely be the shooter.

What country are you living in??? I know in this country everybody has access to good schools, a stable community and opportunities to do things like go to college.

It's the choices people make regarding that access that separates decent people from the murdering pieces of sh..

And no matter how bad things get in life for anybody it's still requires a conscious decision to pull a trigger on a gun. Society doesn't force your hand on that.

Isn't it obvious??? The collective feeling of hope and change actually formed a physical force of lift underneath the aircraft to keep it going just long enough to make it to the river. The collective good feeling that exuded from the passengers and crew actully kept the plane in the air just enough (even while traveling at a slow rate of speed that normally spells doom) so that a soft enough landing resulted.

You got the "seems" part right at least. Understandable given the amount of Democrat ass kissing that goes on in this neighborhood.

Outsourcing does not the cost tax-dollars to be spent. If anything it's a tax dollar saver.

Now that's an obvious tax dollar expenditure. And more than one economist considers this to be throwing tax dollars down a rat hole.

If President Dope accomplishes his stated intentions this country is going to hell in a hand basket. Goodbye long-term prosperity peppered with short-term downturns in the economy....Hello long-term economic stagnation and malaise.......

I agree with your sentiments exactly. I remember being really pissed at the fare situation when I took NJ Transit from NY Penn to Newark Airport. It is a complete rip off. I am assuming that the fare situation is the way it is because NJ Transit figures mostly tourists will be using the NY Penn to Newark Airport system and most cities/governments are more than willing to fleece tourists.

Now I take the path to Newark Penn and take a $15.00 cab from there to Newark Airport. I end up being dropped off right at the terminal entrance at Newark Airport and all for just about the same expense.

Well, since the posting of articles about President Platitude are so popular here's my contribution:

The Wall Street Journal:
BUSINESS WORLD NOVEMBER 19, 2008

Obama Hears a Giant Sucking Sound
His legacy is spent before he gets his hands on it.
By HOLMAN W. JENKINS, JR.

His friends advise Barack Obama to launch a "New" New Deal. Maybe that's because the old New Deal is sinking fast.
Mr. Obama's one deeply false note during the campaign was his harping on "deregulation" as if that were the source of current troubles. His real problem is the crack-up of the world FDR built.

Fannie Mae was a New Deal creation, subsidizing the securitization of mortgage debt. FDR's successors piled on the subsidies for housing debt and incentives directed at low-income borrowers. Kaboom.
Then there's the UAW, born in 1935. For decades the UAW steadily traded away domestic auto market-share to imports and transplants to keep its aging membership toiling away toward their golden pensions and collecting wages and benefits twice those of their competitors. It worked for a while . . .
Mr. Obama must be looking around and beginning to suspect he will be pouring his political capital, along with considerable taxpayer capital, down bottomless holes for the next four years. He won't be building a legacy as the new FDR, but cleaning up after the last one.
Fannie and its twin, Freddie Mac, have already come back for a second helping of taxpayer money as their once-profitable business model devolves into a politically directed subsidy machine for propping up home prices and delaying foreclosures. Their next meltdown, in government hands, is all but written in the cards.
AIG, an otherwise healthy insurance company that went bust betting on housing debt, has already consumed taxpayer loans and capital injections nearly as big as AIG's $200 billion market cap when it was one of the world's most admired firms. AIG still has a valuable insurance business, but ignoramuses in Congress and the press are busy destroying it. The company sells many of its products through busy independent agents. It uses lush "seminars" to encourage them to sit still for pitches about why AIG should still be trusted despite AIG's purgatory in the headlines. But these seminars only produce more outraged grandstanding from the political commentariat.
It will take years for the government to get AIG off its hands, and there likely won't be much value left for taxpayers when it finally does.
But the really giant sucking sound is the auto sector, getting ready to gobble up whatever hopes Mr. Obama might have had for an ambitious, forward-looking presidency.

He and Nancy Pelosi naturally insist that any "bailout" must hit multiple bogies. They want UAW jobs to be preserved. They want the shibboleth of energy independence advanced. They want "green" cars to please the Tom Friedmans of the world. They want to tell taxpayers they're getting more for their money than just a bailout of Detroit.
All this makes sense to a politician, but not to any practical person, who knows that multiple bogies are bound to be conflicting bogies. You could just barely envision a bailout that wouldn't necessarily be a disastrous waste of money, one that would help Detroit create a competitive cost structure in pursuit of building products that are competitive in the marketplace. But this is just the opposite of what Mr. Obama and his Democrats have in mind.

That Mr. Obama had been sent by history to assuage the insecurities of the middle class with a "New" New Deal was always a tad detached from reality anyway. The reason is those giant legacies of existing New Dealism known as Social Security and Medicare, about which he was careful to say nothing intelligible during the campaign. These programs worked for a while too, but now their expected revenues are (in present value) about $99.2 trillion short of the expected outlays required to assure present and future workers their promised comfort in retirement.
Then again, Mr. Obama did say something in his campaign about tax rebates for all these payroll taxpayers. He also said something about government matching contributions to incentivize today's low- and middle-income workers to save for their own retirement.
Voil?, personal accounts funded by payroll-tax givebacks -- strangely similar to the solution our current president promoted to help workers escape the impending insolvency of the government retirement programs. Mr. Obama envisioned himself extending FDR's work. He may end up finishing George Bush's.

I've dropped off boxes of books at Grace Van Vorst church recently. I've only done it on Sunday afternoons though. Don't know if you can drop them off there at other times.

You got that right. Evidently President Platitude can fool some of the people all of the time.

Quote:

It should be noted that it was Republicans in Congress that voted against this bailout. Democrats and Obama voted for it. And now look what we got.

I watched it from the roof of my building. It was a fire at the Lukoil gas station at intersection of the street that heads into the Holland Tunnel and Erie Street. It looked like two cars were burned up as well as one of the gas pumps. It was raging at one point but once the fire trucks came they were able to put it out pretty quickly.

I believe they have 8 large flat panel TV's. I find this place to be really good for all-day NFL Sunday action. I didn't go there last Sunday. However I was talking to one of the bartenders two days ago and I was told that this past Sunday was off da hook in terms of people / atmosphere.

I really miss Simple Cafe too (i.e., before current management). It used to be such an awesome spot to chill. Now I feel like crying everytime I see what it has become.

I have a series 2 Tivo and a series 3 in my apartment and both have lifetime subscriptions. They are both connected wirelessly through the Netgear router I have. I actually just connected the series 2 tivo last week with the Tivo wireless adapter I purchased on Amazon. Everything has been working fine.

Being that I live in downtown Jersey City and therefore have a stake in what gets built I'll take "Option A: Generic Yuppie BS" anyday.

Every morning when I walk past the Cordero School on Erie Street there is a beautiful white mercedes parked right on the corner of ninth and Erie in front of the school. And it has a handicapped tag and is parked in a handicapped spot. Now maybe the person is truly handicapped but if I find out otherwise I'll key that thing so fast.

The small church garage is where the Vespa dealership is going.
