Olbermann slams Hillary like never before

It’s not often you’ll hear Keith Olbermann slam anyone more than Bill O’Reilly or President Bush. But after this latest fiasco with Hillary Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro and racially charged remarks about Barack Obama, Keith unleashed at Clinton in perhaps his second-strongest Special Comment ever. Regardless of what you think of Mrs. Clinton, Ferraro, Obama or [...]

Have Granell and Tanelli healed rift with Sarlo? It sure seems that way

Could it be that the major rift between North Arlington Councilmen Al Granell and Steve Tanelli and state Sen. Paul Sarlo, D-36, is beginning to heal? If a story on the Democrats’ Web site, N.A. Today is any indication, it sure seems that way.
Both Granell and Tanelli have attributed statements that in essence praise the [...]

On Willie, Stevie, Stevie, Rudy and more

Say, did anyone take a look at the video posted on this site of Hudson County Register Willie Flood fleeing Fox 5’s Arnold Diaz, when he tried to interview her as to how she could hire her son to two paid positions in her two elected offices? Flood ignored Diaz’s questions, covered her face with [...]

Finally, my (likely) next-to-last Imus posting

The day I’ve been waiting for since April 12 is finally coming. After months of speculation, rumors, arguments — and sometimes-nasty dialogs — Don Imus returns to the radio Monday morning at 6, on WABC 770-AM on your radio dial. I’ve been blogging about Imus a lot since he went off the air, and except [...]

Here we go again in Hudson

If ever there were a time where it would be right to scream and yell about an abuse of the use of taxpayer money, perhaps it’s now, with a situation that is ongoing in Jersey City. It seems Hudson County Register and Jersey City Councilwoman Willie Flood has done the unthinkable — she’s hired her [...]

To morph or not to morph?

It’s not all that often that I write about what other newspapers do. But after seeing the front page of Sunday’s Asbury Park Press, I feel somewhat compelled to do so.
The Press had a front-page package of stories about the state of affairs with Gov. Jon S. Corzine and his plans to potentially lease some [...]

Some Harrison candidates’ rhetoric needs clarification

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but just a few days before the election in Harrison — and with a new candidate entering the race for a 3rd Ward seat — there’s some political gimmickry going on. And it’s clearly coming from both camps.
First, we took a look at the Web site put [...]

An analysis of next week’s election locally

It’s just a week before Election Day 2007, and it’s an off-off year. There aren’t all that many exciting races locally, but some will certainly bring about some tense moments come Nov. 6.
First, let’s start off in Harrison. While initially it didn’t appear this way, there will apparently be four contested races in the town. [...]

A year later, Olbermann’s words still scream the truth

Watch the video for yourself. One year after he made these comments from Ground Zero, Keith Olbermann’s words still scream the truth. Each time he says “five years ago,” replace the words in your mind with the words “six years ago.” It’s frightening how little has changed and how easily interchangeable Olbermann’s words of a [...]
