Ye Olde News Roundup

Some breaking news, some odd news, some traffic related news, and of course feel free to chime in with "Teh Snark." (and yes we meant teh -- ed)

*On the breaking news front the mother of the baby found alive four days ago in a trash bag in JC has been arrested.

*Mayor Steve Fulop will go before a very friendly city council and ask for paid sick days for both full and part-time workers for businesses operating in the city. Zoltron and Kiki, both loyal to a fault, are still technically interns here and thus, no paid sick days. Interns for life.

*Former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey should begin his job in Jersey City in, well, about now.

*Something being called an "adaptive traffic signal system" will be used on local traffic lights to help alleviate some of the expected massive traffic shifts when General Pulaski goes partially dark.

*The westbound lanes on 139 are back open after yesterdays game of dodge rubble.

*Disgraced losing city council wannabe Lori Serrano (Solomon Dwek) seemed awfully happy for someone who just got hit with a $1000 fine, 18 months probation and no ability to run for public office again. Yes we know it's nice she has seemingly gotten her house in order but you know what? One is supposed to not sink back into a life of crime. You're supposed to 'rehabilitate' yourself.

*Johnny can smell a nuisance motion in Hoboken a mile city away. Luis Zayas, who represents Angel Alicea, former Hoboken public safety director says Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer somehow perjured herself in a deposition. Zayas used a lot of legalese and lingo and fancy legal phrases you'll be sure to want to write down next time you play lawyer Bingo.

*Finally, the NFL kicks off tonight in an overhyped, overblown, overproduced season opening spectacular when the Los Angeles Rams visit the Houston Oilers.
