New York City is still obsessed with the fact New Jersey makes it smell better

Again New York City stands amazed and in awe that the syrupy-sweet smell coming from a North Bergen food additive factory could make the Big Appletini smell like something other than a public urinal. Mayor for life if he has his way Michael Bloomberg yesterday felt the need to hold a press conference on this pressing matter. Newspapers and rags like the New York Post wrote articles on the smell wafting into The Big Stink.

Again, New York, you're WELCOME. We realize that urine and trash smell is something you're used to and probably have grown to like. We're sorry is the sweet syrup smell upsets you, but really, consider it a free upgrade.

There's the Holland Tunnel, the Lincoln Tunnel and now the 'Johnny Action Space Punk Tunnel'

That's right rail tunnel transportation fans (and who isn't?), the federal gubmint has given the go ahead to a $5.7 billion ($10 billion after requisite cost overruns and delays) new rail tunnel between New Jersey and the Big Appletini, which Johnny is insisting we at the Jersey City Desk refer to as 'The Johnny Tunnel'.

It'll provide jobs, and lots of jobs, upwards of 40,000 to 50,000 jobs by the time it's done in 2017. The new 'Johnny Tunnel' is expected to make the word a greener place eliminating a possible 22,200 car trips between NJ and NY a day. It's expected to double the rail trips at peak commuting hours leading to much less congestion on the PATH trains as well meaning you citizen might get a seat once in a while.

Good news all around here and well done by those who got their names in the paper...
