Ms. Klassy Kakes 2015 nominee

Boy sometimes classy people just find you. Perhaps you're walking your dog and hear from a block away a woman yelling some very vulgar words into her cell phone, all while smoking cigarette after cigarette (and of course throwing the butts on the ground like classy people do), barefoot, leaning on a car in front of kids getting on busses and walking with parents to their schools.

For your display this morning lady, you are hereby nominated for Ms. Klassy Kakes 2015

Look up tonight and you might just get a treat

The Northern Lights may make an appearance in the New Jersey skies tonight as a minor geomagnetic storm is currently affecting the Earth. The Aurora Borealis could be seen as far south tonight as Maryland. Now, this is the greater NYC ambient light area so #1 good luck. If you can find a somewhat darkish secluded spot look north and if the Northern lights are visible, well then you're in for a treat.

More info on the best places to look and on the Aurora Borealis itself follow this link.

Johnny is voting to keep Jersey City elections in May where they belong

Tomorrow when Johnny steps into the voting booth he's sure and shootin' going to vote to keep Jersey City municipal elections for mayor and council et al in may as it has been forever. Why move it to November and then have a ballot 3 pages long? Why take away the importance of the Jersey City elections to mix it in with county and state and federal voting? Then there is the question about actually WHY it's getting moved right now (To help Steve Fulop be able to run for mayor should he lose the Democratic nomination for governor) and why even consider moving it when it benefits ONE person.

So though it's a non-binding vote and Johnny is pretty sure the council is in the bag with Fulop once again on this he's voting to keep the importance of the Jersey City elections front and center, not moved under county drain commissioner on the November ballot.

Six more shot this weekend and no comments really from anyone

Six more were shot in Jersey City this weekend adding to a rapidly rising total this fall. Our comments last week are the same; What is the city doing about this other than telling the media those who were involved haven't been the most helpful? We get that a lot of those who are involved in such matters won't talk to cops. It doesn't make it any less disturbing to have a city looking like a shooting gallery just because of those who are involved. Are we waiting for an innocent bystander to get killed? What are we doing? Nothing of substance from the mayor or his spokesperson about what is being done to protect innocent citizens or bring those guilty to justice.

We have cops standing at construction sites with hardhats on when they're not texting from their own cars. If we have money for millions upon millions in tax abatements and loans to Bruce Ratner we should have money for more cops on the streets. Are we doing this?

The administration that was gonna be all about communication must have only meant store openings and fun events.

It's the Saturday Night Scoreboard Show Halloween Edition, now 20% more scary!

Miami 30
Duke 27
Sure the Miami player was down when he lateraled it, sure a player from Miami comes running onto the field at about the Duke 15 yard line to help celebrate early making it 12 Miiami players on the field at once. Sure that same player who made it an even dozen was carrying his helmet yet another infraction. It happened to Duke so in the words of Chrissie Hynde, "Well ha ha and too bad." Halloween, and we're gonna use THAT word, zaniness:

Michigan 29
Minnesota 26
Good thing Michigan was playing these Gophers and not the Golden kind. That was some ugly shit right there. Someone on the Twitter said Minnesota decided to eschew the costumes today and just go as themselves. Ouch.

Notre Dame 24
Temple 20
Charlie Weis sure has the Irish in fine second-tier bowl form doesn't he?

Oklahoma 62
Kansas 7
Kansas is considering instituting a campus-wide draft ie mandatory enlistment in the football program

Wisconsin 48
Rutgers 10
Rutgers fans, this is the season of your discount tent

Holy Cross 34
Bryant 33
Holy Cross kicking legend Connor Fitzgerald kicked a 31-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining

Colgate 31
Fordham 29
A tough loss for Fordham and an odd standings situation in the Patriot League. Fordham is 7-2 after today and Colgate 4-4 BUT Colgate is 3-0 in conference thus leading the team with the best overall record

Harvard 14
Dartmouth 13
Harvard scored all 14 points in the fourth quarter and took control of the Ivy League race

Ferrum 32
Methodist 31
Ferrum got power really up in the fourth quarter (a lot of that today) by scoring 25 and getting their first win, speaking of which...

The Jersey City Desk Game of the Week®
New Mexico State 55
