Johnny smells a news roundup coming on

Lots to talk about but sadly today Johnny has little time to be in the offices.

*A storm that could cause some substantial coastal flooding will begin tonight and last into Thursday. This storm has the potential to drop 3-6" locally. Despite how The Weather Channel is being absolutely arrogant in naming storms unnecessarily, which has the potential to confuse people, the NOAA NOR  THE NWS DO NOT NAME WINTER STORMS. Winter storms DO NOT have names. Go screw yourself Weather Channel.

*A woman stole a cop car in Camden and drove it across the Ben Franklin Bridge into Philadelphia. When the guy she was with was being arrested, she then stole a Philadelphia PD car and took off. Click the link to watch the race through the streets of Philly.

* A group calling itself National Organization for Marriage has just used Tyler Clementi's suicide to try and push their narrow and unAmerican agenda. Nothing like invoking a dead person you never knew or met to try and score points.

*British scientists have reported out that the cause of the Hindenburg explosion was static electricity.

*The charges he hired a prostitute who spoke on camera against New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez appear to have been made up. Right wing blog Daily Caller, we're looking at you. Tucker Carlson is a little bitch isn't he?

*Finally today, yes, your commute DOES suck New Jersey.

Camden adjusts to life with 163 less police officers

A while back we had written a tongue-in-cheek piece encouraging all the Jersey City criminals to consider Camden, who through budget cuts and no tax money coming in had to lay off almost half their police force. Well now that the new normal has set in down Camden way, one can start assessing the horror of living there via a great piece in the New York Times.

Apparently crooks love the sight of 40 something officer jumping out of police cruisers to give chase rather then their more nimble and much faster 20 something colleagues used to do.

An open letter to all the killers, crooks, rapists, thieves and nere-do-wells in Jersey City

First off, welcome to the Jersey City Desk, we realize we're probably not on your required reading list. Now, why are we writing you a letter? We'd like to advance your careers in a southern locale, near a big city. Think of it, a warmer climate and symphony orchestras and ballet to boot. So get your gym bags and burglar tools together while we tell you about an incredible opportunity to leave Jersey City in your rear view mirror for bigger opportunities.

Camden. Yes, crooks and killers of all shapes and sizes, Camden just recently lost most of it's police department which in our estimation would make your jobs and lives easier and more fruitful. Camden just let go 168 police officers, practically ALL of the cops they have hired since 1998. Think of it, your criminal mind allowed to hatch nefarious plans free of police intervention. Hey, if arson is your game Camden just let go 67 firefighters. Your homeboys would be right next to you in Philadelphia so big city entertainment is IN!

That's a lot of value for a criminal in Camden, 50% less cops, fewer firefighters and less people to even process arrest records and court documents. Hell, anymore Camden is gonna make Newark look like casino security. Can you say rapid job advancement? We knew you could.

So think on it, and to entice your move south, how about this, a postcard from Camden New Jersey, your new home.
