Looks like we have to wait until October to watch Mariano Vega crash and burn and head off to jail

Mariano Vega, disgraced Jersey City council member and vile human being has a trial date set more than a year after his arrest on graft charges stemming from taking money from fake area developer, Mr. Laughs Solomon Dwek. The FBI who has yet to lose case in this graft sweep says Vega took at least 30K in bribes. Slappy Vega's trial is set for October 12.

The Justice Department has filed fraud charges against our Paulus Hook neighbors, Goldman Sachs

Johnny doesn't know the ins and outs of securities The Justice Department says Goldman failed in it's disclosures that were sold tied to subprime mortgage securities. He'll never figure it out. From what he HAS read and what he DOES understand there ought to be villagers with pitchforks and torches outside Goldman Sachs chasing employees to their cars to and from work. Goldman in our opinion committed terrible malfeasance on this nation's economy and then tried to use the confusing nature of the matter to get out of all responsibility.

Your day is coming Goldman, it's coming and the sooner the better....

People, no need to panic, it was just a mortar shell on a Jersey City Heights street corner

A local resident being all alert and stuff saw a cardboard tube on Sherman Avenue on Monday and looked inside and saw a mortar round inside. He actually moved the tube out of the road and put it in his front lawn to keep kids from playing with it (Because standing there warning them away wouldn't have worked, no had had to pick it up) and then called police.

The police evacuated nine buildings in the area before a bomb squad arrived and found the shell was not live.

OK, who left the mortar round on the street? You really need to make sure those stay in your backpacks or handle bags.

Tomorrow after working on the JCD Johnny will head home and build his Red Wings shrine. Old player cards, playoff game tickets, waving towels, bobbleheads and yes a working goal light that goes on when the Wings score and Al, the squeaky toy octopus that whomever grabs when the Wings score gets to squeak. A high honor indeed.

Here we go again kids, gut wrenching, ulcer inducing, staying up late for those west coast starts for the greatest reward in sport.

Tuesday open thread

Johnny's got a bug of some note which he's hoping for relief from ASAFP. In the meantime feel free to talk about whatever floats your boat. NHL Playoffs, or if you were Barack Obama whom would YOU nominate for the Supreme Court, or whatever else floats into your mind.

Dear Dweeb who thinks they somehow own the Jersey City Wikipedia website...

Are YOU the one who thinks they can decide which blogs or social media sites qualify to be included? Johnny very respectfully added the Jesey City Desk after the Jersey City Independent, a blog which we link to, and yet Skippy the Wikipedia Dweeb took down the Jersey City Desk reference. Does this site not comment on exactly what Johnny said it did on Wiki? 'A Local blog that comments on local politics, community activities and sports'. Is this misrepresented? Hardly.

Some of you Wikipedia dorks need to realize the true idea behind it is that everyone can access it and make factual changes. It's not just the personal fifedom of some kid who lives in his parent's basement with an American flag where curtains should be. We're going to perfect this posting one more time and add it again. If Johnny has issues with someone deleting his info, woe be to the entire Jersey City page. Ask Trixie here the havoc one Johnny Action Space Punk can wreak upon website after website should he get the urge.
