The last time I was in NJ I had a hard time finding anyone who spoke English. I'm not talking about Patterson or Union City - I was out around Madison and Morristown.
Lo siento. No hablo English.
Parle vou francais?

WASHINGTON -- The line of people waiting to get into the U.S. Capitol was halted briefly this morning while police checked out a suspicious package.
U.S. Capitol Police Chief Terry Gainer said officers saw a man who they thought was acting strangely. Gainer said the man jumped over a barricade and attempted to retrieve something from a backpack.
Gainer said police then detained the man then inspected the backpack with the help of bomb-sniffing dogs. Gainer said nothing was found and an all-clear was sounded. Police then checked to see if any warrants were outstanding for the man and when no warrants were found, he was released.
The U.S. Capitol police chief said this has been a problem at different times during the night. People waiting in line have left items behind and when they do, police have to fear the worst and inspect them. Authorities are asking people if you plan on coming down to view the casket of former President Ronald W. Reagan, to please come empty-handed. Link to Article
