  • Congressman Frank LoBiondo is afraid of Rosie O\’Donnell and Barbara Streisand. Read the article and you\’ll know why maybe he should be. I guess when you\’ve never had a serious challenge, you grow a little thin skinned.

     

  • The NJ Clean Elections program is slated to make (limited) comeback this campaign season. I suspect that if folks like me and you were ever to make a run for office, this type of scheme would be a the way to go. So who\’s running?

     

  • A budget without Wayne Bryant is like a fish without a bicycle.

     

  • I hesitate to use the words \”McGreevy\” and \”blower\” in the same sentence, but here goes: McGreevey subpoenaed in whistle-blower suit.

     

  • Maybe one day the powers-that-be will turn Petty\’s Island into the next locale for the reality show Survivor. They can vote contestants off one at a time and the winner gets to choose the island\’s future. But that\’s just my morning fantasy. Find out what the real plan is here.

     

  • The new chief at UMDNJ sees a bright future for the state\’s medical school. With a salary like his, I\’d be optimistic too, but that\’s just me.

     

  • Way down in South Jersey, Whelan joins race for state Senate and provides the Dems with the best chance to flip that particular disctict in decades. More from South Jersey here and here.
