Johnny was just saying he hadn't seen a video of old Stu "The Grim Reaper" Grimson losing his ever-loving mind and trying to fight the entire Toronto Maple Leafs team at once so what say we pop some corn and watch the fun.

Come on down to the War Memorial, we've got fun for the whole family.

President Barack Obama has endorsed Mayor Healy for another term

You can say this about President Obama, he remembers those who got behind him early in 2007 in his uphill climb for the Democratic nomination against Hillary Clinton. The President endorsed Mayor Healy, one of Obama's first backers when he announced his candidacy, for another term in Jersey City.

Said Mr. Obama:
“To continue moving America forward, we need more leaders like my friend, Jerry Healy. He’s made Jersey City a vital engine for economic growth, innovation and opportunity."

Not a bad endorsement Mayor. Certainly it will sway some voters in Jersey City.

Your thoughts dear readers?

Spelunking with Johnny!

Inspired by the guys who climbed to the inside top of the Chrysler Building and reader Sean's link in that same post to the guys who go where they are not invited, deep under the streets of NYC as well as some fine bridge views, Johnny recently did some Jersey City spelunking of his own. There are a lot of unused warehouses about. Many of them long abandoned. Some have taken on a new vibe after Superstorm Sandy. Now for legal purposes Johnny can't tell you where this warehouse walkabout took place, some may frown on this kind of thing, but it took place in Jersey City.

Had to be a cell phone camera sorry, people hanging out around buildings with Nikons looking to get in get noticed.

Boy howdy did all the weathercasting services and weatherpeople on teevee miss this one today. The old backdoor snow 'storm'.

One more wintery mess before spring arrives

Now, the weather will be worst north and west of the Jersey City Desk immediate area. That being said we're supposed to get our share of rain, snow and ice over the next 24 hours. The snow could arrive (less than an inch) as early as 2pm while the overnight will bring ice pellets, snow, and a little rain after midnight. If you have to drive home from work tonight or into work in the morning, take caution. Ice is no fun. Remember too, no matter what vehicle you're driving they all are four rubber tires on ice. Don't let your vehicle make you fee invincible.

In honor of the NCAA tournament brackets coming out, a quote tonight from famed UCLA had coach John Wooden:

"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"

Who doesn't love a good Irish joke?

Johnny's Irish, he can get away with it...

There was once an Irishman named Murphy who walked into an American Bar. He sat down and asked the Bartender "Give me three shots o' your finest Irish Whiskey!" the Bartender complies.

After about a week of this routine the bartender asks, "Murphy, would it be better for yeh if I put all three shots of Irish Whiskey into one glass?"

Murphy replied, "Well no. See I have two other brothers back at home, Patrick and Owen, and everytime I come into a Pub or Bar I order a shot for each o' them so I can remember the good times."

Well, after another week of this, Murphy comes into the bar and only asks for two shots of Irish Whiskey. The bartender immediately says "Murphy, is everything ok? Did somethin' happen to one of your brothers?" "Oh no", Murphy said, "I just decided to quit drinkin."

It's after the noon whistle, church is out, drinking songs ahoy!

The Boondock Saints favor us now with some Irish Drinking Songs.

An Irish jig over coffee? Why not?

And to that end please enjoy Dick Solberg (A nice Irish name, no?) and the Sun Mountain Band with an Irish jig sure to get you going this morning!
