If you're reading this you probably weren't one of the mobsters rounded up this morning

The FBI launched an early morning roundup of several crime families from around New Jersey and New York City this morning. The DeCavalcante family right here in sunny New Jersey had members arrested.

Seriously though, the New York City mafia? They don't make teevee shows about them now do they? The Sopranos wasn't set in Park Slope. One of the most famous mob hit men of all time, The 'Ice Man', Richard Kuklinski is from right here in Jersey City. So while a lot of people from NYC were rounded up in this sting the media is missing the boat by concentrating their story on the eastern shores of the Hudson. See here in NJ we're got government corruption on a grand scale AND mob crimes on a scale just as grand.

They weren't finding bodies when they built the new Yankee Stadium. Just sayin'.
