As our commenter, Lyndi, pointed out - Nikhil Desai is actually a resident of Fremont, California, not New Jersey! He attends Challenger School in Newark, California - not Newark, New Jersey. This information was confirmed by the public relations company that sent me the information. The public relations company sent me: […]

The following came in from mPRm Public Relations:
I thought you might be interested to know that 13 year old Nikhil Desai from Fremont, New Jersey was part of the 10 finalists chosen for National Geographic children’s National Geographic Bee. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, the contest focuses on important knowledge concerning world geography. The complete […]

As if having a police force that entered renters’ homes at all hours of the night without a warrant or probable cause wasn’t enough, my roommate picked up on this news story yesterday: Pregnant Policewoman’s Request for Light Duty Denied by New Jersey Township Officials. Granted, due to the increased scrutiny from a […]

Inspired by Metroplexual’s suggestion to read the NJ Real Estate Report (linked on our sidebar now), I came across a post that compared renting a home to owning a home. In truth, the article was linked from another source, but it gave some interesting points of view on the classic owning vs. renting debate. […]

The Asbury Park Press ran a story this morning that talked about how vendors located on Asbury Park’s Cookman Avenue were gearing up for what they believe will be a very successful summer season. From the article:

USA Today is reporting that new home sales have dropped - again - to their lowest point in some sixteen and a half years. Well…duh. Is anyone surprised by this news? We have a horrible economy and that certainly isn’t helping, but has anyone actually looked at the price of a new […]

While looking around FOXNews.com I noticed a story about a high school student arguing that his “American Government” textbook is biased. The article cites some parts of the textbook that claim global warming is still being studied and that the Supreme Court decision on striking down the Texas law regarding gay sex harmed the […]

Anyone who lives in New Jersey knows that there are two kinds of police officers. The first (and more prevalent) type of officer is the man or woman who is out to do some good for his or her community. These are the folks who always wanted to be police officers and who […]

Just when you think that New Jersey can’t become a bigger disaster than it already is…surprise! The state has come in and screwed up once again. Only this time, not only does their mistake hit critically close to home, it actually contradicts previous decisions by state agencies and (most importantly) promises to destroy […]

Last month, The Esperanza was put on hold in Asbury Park. Some of you may remember this new luxury condominium building on the Asbury Park boardwalk as the place where rock n’ roll legend John Oates recently decided to purchase a vacation home. The development is put together by Metro Homes, who have […]

New Jersey, in its infinite stupidity, passed legislation yesterday endorsing the National Popular Vote movement. In short, this legislation has the potential to undermine the Electoral College and give the state’s Presidential electors to the candidate who wins the national popular vote. Think of it as the no-thought-needed “fix” to the Electoral College.
