It's a free day, Johnny's got nothing
Even imbeciles need days off.
Head on over to the Naperville City Desk and leave your letters to Santa. Trixie has a thread there for bad people who should get coal. Drop a line on what YOU should get

Late night open thread
So, the Big Ten Conference is talking about adding a 12th team to land those big bucks two division of six teams and a conference title game and Rutgers name has popped up on several lists along with either Pitt or Syracuse being considered. What say you New Jersey, would Rutgers be any kind of good fit?
Just a point of order, Rutgers would be slotted in a Big Ten eastern set up and would be in a division football wise with Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State (who has recently supplanted Michigan as top dog in that state) and perhaps Purdue or Indiana. The better half of the conference football wise. Basketball wouldn't matter, Michigan State runs the conference and the people in it. How has Rutgers been doing against UConn lately in hoops? There you go.

We shouldn't have to tell you this but apparently we do---If you drop something on the PATH or Subway tracks, leave it go man
NOTHING is worth what happened to a 39 year old man at Central Park West and 110th street yesterday. He dropped his MP3 player on the tracks and jumped down to get it. It cost him his life and no doubt necessitated therapy to those on the platform who were, yes, wearing parts of him afterwards. Yeah, that was a disgusting way to put it but THINK McFlys of the world, IT'S NOT WORTH YOUR LIFE for anything lying on the tracks.
A fantastic editorial by the Jersey Journal over Judge Maurice Galipolli's hideous decision on Nidia Lopez
One of the finest editorials you'll ever read on Judge Maurice Galipolli's just plain baseless and mollycoddled decision to allow Nidia Lopez to continue to represent Journal Square. Nidia Lopez, who not only claims Florida as a residence so she can avoid taxes, who not only votes in Florida AND New Jersey and who, the day after voting for the rest of us to pay more in taxes spent the next day in her Florida home.
RECALL Nidia Lopez Ward C, you CAN do it.

Johnny was thinking about movies in the way he does sometimes. He was considering roles that you simply cannot imagine anyone else playing; ie now Heath Ledger as the Joker, or Jack Nicholson in The Shining, Gary Cooper in High Noon, Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. You get the idea, roles that were SO perfect for the actor who turned in such a performance they OWN the role.

One for the guys this morning--Remember the Pinewood Derby?
A most excellent article on the entire process (either real or imagined) on the Boy Scouts Pinewood Derby fun on the Speed Sport Life website. A quick excerpt:
THE PEOPLE
Racers are comprised of Cub Scouts. These are good ole fashioned honest young kids working hard for an achievement patch. If you want to compete you’ll need to be a kid between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. So, either invent a time machine and go back to race, or do what I did, have lots of sex and get yourself a son. Then you’ll have to sit around impatiently until the kid is old enough to become a Cub Scout. Once he finally hits that magical age, get yourself a drill press, a Dremel, some sand paper and get to work. I mean, get to work, uh, letting your son build the car.
A fun and excellent read. Johnny well remembers his first car (Of course HEAVILY dad influenced) and the trauma of watching a wheel come off 3/4 of the way down the track.

This afternoon, the Devils alumni are playing the JCPD in a fundraiser for the children of Marc DiNardo
Many former Devils greats will face off against the JCPD at the Prudential Center at 3 pm today in a fundraiser for the three children of slain Jersey City Detective Marc DiNardo. Some of the former Devils who are going to participate include Bruce Driver, Ken Daneyko, Grant Marshall, Chico Resch, Rob Skrlac, Valeri Zelepukin, Jim Dowd, Andy Brickley and Laurie Boschman.
Tickets are only $20 and the proceeds will be spilt evenly among DiNardo's three children. Over 3000 tickets have been sold already so come on Jersey City, let's get out to Newark and have a fantastic walk up gate, let's see if we can't get 5000 fans to The Rock this afternoon to help DiNardo's kids and honor one of our bravest.
I mean really, what were you going to do watch the Jets play one win Tampa Bay? The Giants play tonight so no sweat, plenty of time to get out on the old PATH train and do something positive.

Shocking, Santa's helpers work for a pimp
Johnny never would have believed it himself if it were not for this video proof. Some of Santa's helpers/toymakers being escorted on the PATH train late last night by one of Santa's enforcer pimps. If you click the image it'll get bigger and you'll note Santa's enforcer pimp hiding his face in shame.
