Time for Jersey City, After Dark

It's happening all over, Ward B's new councilman is not who was expected to win

New Ward B Councilman Chris Gadsden didn't just run against history in that if he won he'd become the first African-American to be elected to represent Jersey City's west side. Gadsen didn't just run against any opponent in incumbent John Hallanan. Gadsen also was running against the entire Hudson County Democratic machine as well as Mayor Steve Fulop who enjoyed his automatic support from Hallanan as well as the guy before him who had to hurry up and leave, court's orders and so forth.

Terrence T. McDonald tells us how the race was won:

Behind the scenes, political operatives are pointing fingers about who is to blame for Hallanan's loss. But most of them agree that Gadsden, with the help of friend Jerry Walker and political operative Joe Cardwell, outworked his competitors.

"He just went out and, the old-fashioned way, knocked on a bunch of doors," one Democrat said.

Welcome to Jersey City's new Ward B councilman, a refreshing choice.

Those Devils fans sitting around waiting for the game in San Jose to start at 10:30 EST now know why Johnny was so happy when the Red Wings moved east. Imagine waiting for a 10:30 game that could go into two or three overtimes to start felt like.

Did you see the LEAKED Black Friday ads/deals from Walmart, Target, Macy's, and Kohl's?

More than likely leaked by Walmart, Target, Macy's, and Kohl's.

Since we here don't support this nonsense so we're not sharing it here, we just wanted to point out these things get leaked by the companies to move to the front of your shopping line so you can budget them in.

Now you know.

Wind damage sure came to Hudson County today

From Jersey City to Harrison to other points, the wind sure took it's toll around the area today. While it actually snowed early this morning it was around 6am when the winds came causing damage and power outages in Bayonne and claiming scaffolding on the Newark Ave. pedestrian plaza in downtown Jersey City. You can, as they say, read all bout it, at this handy link.

Wanna know what's cool? SC State running back Joe Thomas Sr. entered the game with about 4 minutes to play in the first quarter, and ran the ball for 3 yards. So what you ask? Mr. Thomas is 55 years old and enrolled with his son at SC State 4 years ago. His son now plays for the Packers but Joe Sr., now the oldest college player to play in a game in history, got something just as important we figure

In their honor tonight, carry on you Wayward Sons

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with MARVIN GAYE!

In about 20 minutes Johnny is gonna take the dire wolf out for a late night walk. He'd better hear this coming out of every open window and people singing along because on this one, well, there's no excuse. 

 SING! 

 Marvin Gaye with "I Heard it Through the Grapevine'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with LINDA RONSTADT!

with CHUCK BERRY and KEITH RICHARDS and ROBERY CRAY but those won't fit and Johnny hates run on sentences.

This version should be the goddamned national anthem, we could all enjoy this before ballgames and get fired up. Please do appreciate the phenomenal voice of Linda Ronstadt here as she now has a condition that does not allow her to sing as much as one note of anything. A crime against nature. Linda Ronstadt and a cast of thousands on 'Back in the USA'
