Boy were the entitlement biking crowd back on Twitter this AM

Johnny had over 17 Tweets he was mentioned in when he hit Twitter this morning. The entitled bike crowd is still apoplectic over Johnny's words yesterday. See, you take on one sacred cow and they get all up in arms like children denied a juice box. They're back at it today, still trying to answer the question (and failing badly) Johnny put out yesterday, "When CAN'T you ride you bikes on the city sideWALKS?

We'll tell you if we ever hear back with a cogent answer...

Ward E Councilwoman Candice Osborne is an emphatic NO on a casino in her ward

Johnny tweeted a question to Councilwoman Candice Osborne if there were any plans she'd support to put a casino in Ward E. Her answer? Absolute NO. The correct answer! Winner winner chicken dinner.

Can't get much more straightforward than that and we appreciate that kind of a no-hedge answer. In reading comments on this idea on the NJ.com website Steve Fulop would appear to have quite a fight on his hands over this idea. The Mayor should either deflate the trial balloon or start building the metaphorical breastworks around his city hall office because we can see right now this is going to be one difficult battle for him.

Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer takes to Twitter to yell at helicopters

Maybe you follow the Mayor of Hoboken, the Honorable Dawn Zimmer, on Twitter. Then you know about the headline. If you're not into the Twitter that's fine but here is what she said:

Dawn Zimmer ‏@dawnzimmernj 3h
Outrageous number of helicopters flying over NJ & NOT NYC. If NY wants  tourist helicopters then keep them on your side!

She used an exclamation point so it's yelling alright. She does make a point, a point we folk on the sunset side of the Hudson River can discuss. Do the sight-seeing helicopters stay on the Jersey side while coming nowhere near NYC? Don't a lot of these helicopters depart and land from the South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan though? Living near there would suck. You'd get 'Nam flashbacks even if you didn't go.

If Johnny were running things in Hoboken, which he is not, he'd tell residents to put really offensive 'greetings' to the helicoptourists on rooftops. Really offensive.
