One wonders where the earliest a cheeseburger can be ordered if say a man were taking a day off and wanted a big cheeseburger for breakfast. A man will check and see.

If you're heading to the shore this weekend listen good

Yeah, Johnny's pretty much checked out into weekend mode as he's actually taking a day off for a four-day weekend but if you're lucky enough to be heading down to the Jersey Shore in Atlantic and or Monmouth counties there have been some disturbing shark sightings over the last few days. Great white shark disturbing.

Enjoy the weekend but do be careful.

The next time Mayor Fulop or Public Safety Director Shea say they're doing everything they can...

...to stop this shooting gallery and long hot summer that started early in Jersey City, and that they are doing EVERYTHING in their power to get a handle on the violence and stop it you can look them in the eye and say, "No, you're not."

Take cops off of construction sites and have them answer tip lines or do SOMETHING, ANYTHING constructive. We don't need (and Mayor Fulop even said so as he ran for mayor, he was going to replace cops at construction sites with trained citizen guards, WHY did he abandon these set in stone plans?) cops standing around from 8 until 3 taking developer money. We need the PD overtime more than your jobsite needs a nanny.

Yes, Johnny has actually heard uniformed JCPD offers pitch their services to stand around and help with traffic to Toll Brothers site foremen. A 20 second snippet one day was utterly hilarious in describing the apocalypse that could befall the job site without a cop around it, like a vandal. Now, the cops don't stand there at night and the idea that a whole bunch of workers wouldn't see a vandal on their site in broad daylight and club him or her to death with tools is absurd. Also, no citizen could possibly wave two cars around a stopped truck, that takes training. Cop training apparently, right mayor?

So, next time they issue a press release through Jennifer Morrill, or post something on Facebook about how no resources are being spared, point them back here and say, "Oh yes there are, lots of them."

Happy birthday to one of Johnny's heroes in this life, comedy legend Mel Brooks who turns 90 today.

An image from a bygone era

The almost postcard looking scene of a painter with his brush and canvas outside painting a scene. Johnny chanced across this gentleman today along Warren St. looking at the facade of the old Manischewitz building before Toll Brothers puts up their newest abortion of a building blocking this very view.

No England, we're laughing at you, not with you

WOW. If you'd like to see what it would be like if say the United Sates basketball team lost to Iceland, click on some of these headlines in the England media and see:

WTF Just happened?

Which player sucked most?

Next coach's name will be...

Humiliated

Humiliated by minnows

The goalkeeper sucks
