Get your hot fresh news roundup, get it while it's HOT

* On a personal note, as Dan Levin pointed out on Twitter after Ward E councilwoman Candice Osborne had a cow about a skunk under or near her own porch:

Daniel Levin ‏@DanLevin_inJC  59m
murder left and right, out of control spending continues, NO budget and the only thing concerning downtown is skunks

* Atlantic City has raised property taxes 29% to cover what the failing casinos can't put back into the coffers (though they PROMISED it to get tax abatements). Ironically Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop is in AC today talking to AFSCME workers. No doubt telling them they'll pay more if his wrongheaded 95 story casino at Liberty State Park ever gets off the ground. Casinos in NJ are a bad bet for everyone.

* For long-time New Jersey residents or those who are fascinated by cold cases, a woman living in Florida has finally been charged with the 1991 murder of her son in Sayreville.

* The Port Authority has said "No way Jose" to the charges that they owe Jersey City some $400 million is a lawsuit filed by JC Mayor Steve Fulop.

* Accuweather is predicting early snow for the Garden State, Thanksgiving to be exact. They say a big snowstorm is practically expected around Turkey Day this year.

* Finally, a trip to Jefferson Township New Jersey where a bear has it ALL figured out. People, I'll act like people...

If you're gonna put up a giant sign hating on the President in your yard, don't be a remedial

Dateline rural Georgia: Yes, we know this is making the rounds on the Twitter this morning and yes we know Johnny's English isn't 100% perfect (that encompasses sentence fragments, run on sentences, grammar mistakes, punctuation and spelling errors) but this luddite is in a class by themselves. Wow, the hatred, and certainly the punctuation alone gets this one into the Hall-of-Shame. Are they saying someone named Libety is a Tranny? Help a friend out here...

Stupid Obama, LOL

So that pothole that might have been classified as FIXED, you gotta see this

As some will recall on Sunday Johnny posted pictures of a crater of a pothole looking for a place to emerge and showed the before and after the MUA/DPW dropped a couple shovels of asphalt on it and called it good. So here we are on Wednesday and Johnny's bitching and complaining got somebody's attention:

As you can see from the ladder in the hole a couple shovelfuls of anything wasn't going to fill it. If you want anything done right Jersey City be prepared to have to see it through. Ring some phones, send some emails and when all else fails get a blog and a Twitter account.

Avoid the Pulaski Skyway if you're headed out this morning

Traffic is backed up from the Pulaski Skyway back to the Tonnelle Circle here in Jersey City this morning due to an injury accident closing ALL lanes on the Skyway into Newark. NJ511.com can help and keep checking the Jersey Journal for more.

Yes, nothing shows eternal love like a headstone from Dignity and a funeral from Assman's.

When my time on earth is gone

And my activities here are past
I want they bury me upside down
So my critics can kiss my Ass...man funeral, where we offer the most eternal compassion for you and your family...in this price range.
