With Even More Precincts Reporting, The Gap Closes

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Now that we are at about 58% of the precincts reporting in New Jersey, it looks like Republican challenger Chris Christie has 50% of the vote to Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine’s 44% of the vote. That’s close. In fact, that’s too close for comfort if you’re a Christie supporter.

But be wary, folks. Large portions of Camden and Essex counties and many of the New York City suburbs have not reported their election results yet. These are areas that are notorious for voting the Democratic ticket for no reason other than that it is the Democratic ticket. These are also areas where there was talk a few weeks ago about a gigantic increase in vote by mail ballot applications along with some talk about the possibility that ACORN was helping to register voters. Something tells me that if these counties come in strong for Corzine (which everyone expects them to) and in enough numbers to sway the vote that there is going to be an explosion of citizen rage in this state.

We’re tired of corruption in New Jersey and we’re tired of paying for crooked politicians and their lies.

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Special thanks go out to Joseph P. Martino of Millburn for sending in the following Columbus Day poem. Thanks, Joseph!

A special salute to Columbus, Italy, Italians and her Italian American sons and daughters. A pride of Italian heritage and culture on Columbus Day.
* Author: copyright Joseph p. Martino TRAVEL POET

Art and culture that nurtures and inspires mind, heart and soul.
Music, language and literature that that makes our spirit soar and Hearts sing with joy.
Scientist, explorers, inventors always challenging the frontiers of discovery.
haute couture fashion and designers.
home of the 2006 world cup champions, world class sports and athletes.
The beauty of her majestic cities, mountains, scenic land, lakes,
Rivers and ocean sea that captivates the mind,heart and naked eye.

Italian cuisine, wine and drink that teases the palate, the vineyards and olive gardens of tuscany that satisfy our appetite for fine food,wine and lust for life.
Hospitality and warmth of her people, that touches, then
Melts the hearts of people who come to visit her.

History, antiquity and teaching of the great saints of the church that gives us all a deeper sense
Of self, and who we are in life.

This is Italy, this is Italian and Italian American pride, heritage and culture on Columbus Day.
