You waited all day for this......Weehawken police officer OK after shooting himself

No information can be given other than to say, well not much, not his name, rank or serial number. All Weehaken PD are saying is that "It's just a flesh wound". To this news we're grateful.

Time for Jersey City, After Dark

In case you missed it over this past nice weekend, water and sewer bills are going up 24%

According to Daniel Becht, Jersey City Municipal Utility Authority Director, 60% of Jersey City faces a 24% rate increases or roughly $144 per year.

Becht says fixed costs have continued to increase while there hasn't been a rate hike since 2005. "We postponed the increase as long as possible and reviewed all options," said Becht

More of the technical per square footage info is available here.

Well, amazingly Johnny was wrong on the Giants game prediction.

Just stunning.

Sunday football thread

Well pigskin fans it's a full on weekend of head knocking fun.

The Giants are out in San Diego at 4:15 in a game one has to wonder if the Giants rebound from their recent atrocious play or if the Chargers can exploit some open spots from the tight-ends behind the linebackers to the flats the Giants have seemed baffled by in how to defend the last little while. Our guess is a fourth quarter Giants victory.

The Jets enjoy the week off as this is their BYE week for the season. It comes at a very very good time.

Yesterday's college football action was excellent stuff. Michigan State won while Michigan had their bowl hopes thrown into great peril by fudging a game at home to Purdue. Michigan MUST beat Wisconsin on the road and Ohio State at home the following week or no bowling in Ann Arbor for the second straight year.

In the Big East, leaders Cincinnati stayed perfect but by barely withstanding a furious UConn charge winning 47-45. Johnny doesn't care HOW perfect Cincinnati finishes the season there is NO WAY IN HELL the NCAA will allow them to play in the National Championship game. They'd jump a one loss team over them faster than you can say Jack Robinson.

Stanford ended Oregon's wild run 51-42, Ohio State dominated Penn State 24-7 while USC looks human more each week squeaking by Arizona State 14-9.

Of course Lehigh lost to Holy Cross 24-20 to continue their abysmal season and speaking of abysmal seasons, Northern Illinois kicked the living crap (and there wasn't much living crap left in EMU they've been beaten so badly all year) out of Eastern Michigan 50-6.

Let the NFL games begin!!!!

Saturday morning MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SMASHING PUMPKINS!

Rocking and rolling your way off to a fabulous tri-state Saturday afternoon. Johnny's contract is FINALLY up on his piece of crap AT&T contract phone so he's heading into the big city and he's coming home with something different and no, AT&T you do NOT have a lock on Johnny's business. Oh you MAY get it but Johnny's a freeeeee agent and willing to listen to others since you've been such an average carrier. And word, if he gets an iPhone that think will be jailbroken by tonight.

So, to get YOU fired up and to get Johnny fired up to go do some shopping, the Smashing Pumpkins with 'Zero'

Saturday morning MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with NELLY FURTADO!

Did you even know there was an alternative video for this song? Well lucky for you there IS one. So here is Nelly Furtado with 'Turn off the Light' (Underground Version).

Saturday morning MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE CRANBERRIES!

Live from France it's the beautiful Dolores O'Riordan singing 'Ridiculous Thoughts' with the Cranberries. Excellent live number. Ya know the Cranberries have reunited and are touring again if you'd be so inclined. Their show in November at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square is sadly sold out so StubHub it is for you bunky.
