Jesus Christ a tanker truck just shit a skinny AMC Pacer. First off slow that truck down as you barrel through the gas station. Nobody is going to see your cheap looking can of Spam on wheels if you roast everything in a four block radius. So ah, other than gas mileage did anybody hear anything about the motor or the interior or the tires or the bossanova AM radio? Welcome to the 1979 Datsun 210 Hatchback.
"You'll hate yourself every time you take this fart cart to the mechanic, your friends will point and laugh, but you won't spend a fortune on .90¢ a gallon gas."

Where are major mayoral candidates falling short in their duty to Jersey City residents? Red light cameras
We already know where Mayor Healy, who brought these thieving abominations to our fair city, stands. The Mayor has drunk the revenue Kool-Aid. He's even got his lackeys out spewing half-truths and downright un-truths.
First off the FACTS about the cameras; they lead to MORE accidents and are often mistimed to trap drivers. Again, FACTS.
Now to hear Healy spokesperson Joshua Henne tell it, you'd think none of the facts Johnny just posted was true:
“Studies show that these safety cameras lower the number of red-light running violations and decrease the most deadly collisions commonly attributed to red-light running..."
Sorry Joshua, you look really bad repeating your crap when Google can quickly show otherwise. But hey, you guys are addicted to the money, yes? Safety's got nothing to do with it. It must be the money. One follow up if we may Joshua, what percentage of the ticket money does American Traffic Solutions take?
OK, so let's listen to the supposed newer and more sensible guy running for mayor. Certainly HE will have an opinion, perhaps different from the guy holding the job he wants.
We're waiting on a call back on that. And waiting.
If Johnny were in charge these things would be gone tomorrow. He'd point out yet again with the use of facts they're never about safety. He'd then have to cover the stupid agreement the city signed to pay a penalty to their American Traffic Solutions paymasters if they end the agreement early. It'd be money well spent. Put police back out on the streets. What's that? We don't have the manpower? Funny, when Occupy Wall Street sent a handful of protesters over to the Goldman Sachs building Jersey City suddenly had hundreds of extra cops, some in boats. It's not money strapping us friends, it's Mayor Healy's priorities.

Remember last week when we said we were pleased with Ward C Councilwoman Nidia Lopez's independence from the mayor?
Well listen to this...
Steve Fulop will have Nidia Lopez as HIS Ward C candidate on his May ticket. This is big big news though many will say they saw it coming. WHY they saw it coming is the big news. Lopez who ran on Mayor Healy's ticket in 2009 and won has changed sides. Said Nidia:
“My decision to join Steve’s ticket was easy,” Lopez said in a statement from Fulop’s campaign. “He’s the only candidate who has forward-thinking plans to fight crime, improve schools, make government more accessible and ensure that Jersey City's growth benefits everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected.”
How's that for intrigue Jersey City? It certainly gets Fulop's story and reputation out into the neighborhoods away from the waterfront into Journal Square where Healy said Fulop would run into trouble. This sure helps.
Wait, what? It's good but you want more? Well then, Councilwoman at large Viola Richardson said she is running on Mayor Healy's ticket this very day as his third at-large candidate. Said Viola:
“Just like Mayor Healy, I’m driven to always do what’s best for the residents of Jersey City and those who work here,” Richardson said in a statement from the Healy campaign. “And together, we’ll continue to work hard to make Jersey City a better place for all.”
Mom, is it time for the debates yet?

Good news for weekend PATH riders
The PATH will return fully to overnight weekend trips between Newark and the WTC beginning, well, now. The PATH system sustained $300 million in damage after Superstorm Sandy and is just about to fully throw off the storm shackles. The Hoboken Terminal reopened just today and only one more month of closures at the Exchange Place and World Trade Center stations between Fridays at 10 p.m. thru Mondays at 5 a.m. remain. Beginning in March everything should be hunky dory. Just in time for Syracuse fans to smell it back up when they hop from MSG to West Village bars during the Big East Tournament.
The snow is just the first part of the fun today!
Welcome to a very pretty Monday about to become a very slickery Monday. The snow should be tapering off after giving everything a nice white kiss but then Mr. Snow's angry cousin Icy Sleet comes over for a while. When Icy Sleet lays on Mr. Snow for any amount of time, cars go sideways. Luckily Ms. Rain will clean up the mess later though the roads stay dangerous.
Then we get three days in the 50's.
