Who knew people hanging outside Crown Chicken in the wee hours of the morning could be so uncooperative?
A woman hanging out near the Crown Chicken (And since they did nothing wrong in all of this lest we denigrate a fine business let us tell you the consumer how choice you would look in a Crown Chicken t-shirt or other fine Crown Chicken apparel) on Crescent near Communipaw was very uncooperative with the Jersey City po-po after apparently springing a leak. She said she was just standing outside minding her own business when a fight broke out which according to her she did not participate in, and when she walked away she noticed blood dripping from her leg. That sounds like a leaky leg to us. Better get that looked at.
Your honor, I didn't realize I was breaking the law until I saw myself on tape doing it
Pull this one, it plays jingle bells...
La Vern Webb-Washington come on down, you're the next convict in Jersey City Cash Grab with your host Solomon Dwek. Washington who lost in the Ward F election last year was sentenced to a year and a day in the pokey for accepting dirty money from Dwek totaling $15,000.
Washington told Judge Jose Linares she didn't realize she was breaking the law until she saw herself on the FBI tapes taking money from Dwek.
Uh huh.
Judge Linares wasn't buying those magic beans either and tacked on the extra day so Washington would have to do some jail time instead of a sentence of one year which would have put her in a halfway house.
Washington is the latest in a long line of Jersey City, Hoboken and Hudson County elected officials and elected official wannabes to be convicted or plead guilty. The FBI is batting a thousand on their cases which makes the holdouts like Mariano Vega all the more amusing because it doesn't take Nostradamus to see where these cases wind up.
Til then...

It is now upon us, the greatest 4 days in sports, the NCAA basketball tournament!
In all seriousness these four days always turn out to be uber exciting, and if there are no games on you still have NHL and NBA games on later. Johnny wants to give one more shout out to Michigan State and say Go Sparty and good luck to all the Big Ten teams and a big GO LEHIGH!

OK, this one is a little strange--Secaucus man arrested for peeing on Jersey City females
No, this has nothing to do with Steve Lipski. It has everything to do with an asshat named Nitinkuma A. Patel who would actually follow women in the Journal Square area and walk up behind them and let loose actually peeing on their legs. Jersey City's finest have been staking out the Journal Square area for this idiot as he's been suspected in no less than SEVEN 'attacks'.
Wow, simply wow. We do have an idea for Mr. Patel once he gets done with the court system. Let's put a permanent ankle bracelet on him so we can tell where he is at all times. We'd also like to permanently attach a super strength dog shock collar, the kind used to keep dogs from barking, that police had the controller to and could just randomly push for fun and laughs. You know, "Hey Rutgers won today" Bzzzzzzzzt. "Sure is nice out" Bzzzzzzzzt "I heard Nidia Lopez is back at her home in Florida this month" Bzzzzzzzt.
Good GOD in all his days Johnny never imagined running a story like this.

Late night open thread
We'll end one fantastic St. Patrick's Day with a delicious clip we ran last year of Alison Krauss and The Chieftains performing the Irish lament 'Molly Ban' (Bawn).
Johnny liked this clip so much last year he went out and bought the CD on the iTunes digital marketplace.
Time for Jersey City, After Dark

U2 kicks off happy hour as this St. Patrick's Day party stumbles on
Coincidental thing about this song and the earlier Cranberries song 'Zombie'. Two very popular and famous song based on the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland.
Johnny sometimes doesn't give U2 enough credit. He'll pay for that sitting outside in the new Meadowlands in the blazing July sun when they play here.
Somebody should tell the band the venue is on fire.

Let's get traditional with The Clancy Brothers
With a favorite song by the owner here for obvious reasons.

A Jersey City Desk Editorial: NO GREEN BEER
We'd like to run a clip we ran last year discussing the ills of drinking green beer on St. Patrick's Day:
"...Johnny also knows people have a tendency to advertise or be taken in for advertising for GREEN BEER. Nobody should ever drink green beer. The Lords of Ireland would never ever condone such blasphemy. The land that gives us Guinness, Murphy's, Beamish, and Harp does not sell green beer. Johnny long ago gave up the drink, but he knows damn well those drinking green beer claiming to be Irish for the day profane Ireland."
And with that, and by request we bring you the two drunken guys spilling out of Conor O'Neill's in Ann Arbor two St. Patrick's Days ago, in 2008. This was around 1 pm in the afternoon so these lads got their drink on early. Note their fine form in landing in the handicapped spot. This picture has found it's way to German blogs in the past, it's kinda famous.
