It's a Friday news roundup so put your cat clothes on!

News Roundups, you'll pay for the whole seat but you'll only need the edge!

* Ice monsters attacked people at the WTC PATH station this morning forcing them underground. The ice shard monsters jumped off the WTC onto unsuspecting citizens below.

* The unemployment rate fell to 6.6% according to the numbers people. Stupid Obama.

* Steve Sweeney is proposing casinos for places like Camden, Newark and Jersey City. Johnny cant speak for Newark or Camden (officially) but he can speak for pretty much everyone in Jersey City when he tells Mr. Sweeney to get bent if he thinks he's bringing casinos to our fair city.

Speaking of casinos and gambling is anyone else just sick and tired of this massive advertising overload trying to get everyone in New Jersey to gamble online? If someone came to New Jersey and turned on the teevee and spent any time looking at ads you'd think gambling is to NJ as cars are to Michigan. OK back to the news roundup.

* Jersey City Ward E Councilwoman Candice Osborne wrote an open letter to the boobs at the Port Authority who decided to give an entire eight days notice that the Exchange Place to WTC PATH route is no more on weekends for almost a year.

* Ms. Marvel, the story of a 16 year old Muslim teen girl living in Jersey City who just happens to become a superhero was released by Marvel Comics and is now on sale.

See ya back here tonight for the Music Series.

Jersey City awaits it's newest Superhero

Five years is a long wait for a Superhero to arrive in a city the size of Jersey City but the long wait is over. Comic book writer G. Willow Wilson has placed her newest Marvel superhero right here in Jersey City. The crime fighter is named Ms. Marvel (In real life she's mild-mannered Kamala Khan, 16-year-old daughter of Pakistani immigrants whose powers include the ability to change shape) and she's a Muslim. Said Wilson:

“Jersey City was a really appropriate place for a junior superhero who’s figuring out her powers and identity.”

Another reason this comic will rock? They're going to use real streets and real imagery when at all possible:

“Everywhere possible, we’ll be using actual street locations in Jersey City,” Wilson said in an email. “No cop-out generic cities here!”

Awesome. Make sure to follow the link to read some nice things about our fair city and to see a few images of Jersey City's newest shield-maiden of the night.
