Quote of the Day by HHFi

[Jeff Chandler]

I think this bears repeating (an ode to the poet):

There once was a negro from Newark,
Whose opus did Christian and Jew irk.
When branded a bum,
Chortled LeRoi, aplomb:
I'd rather defécate than do work.

Dennis Prager should have mentioned its no wonder The Sopranos are such a perfect fictional fit for New Jersey. Its hard to imagine an organized crime family make such a wonderful living any place but in The Garden State. Indeed, real life New Jersey politics and culture is one big happy mob family.

I like to get on the nerves of Jerseyites by asking them how things are in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey. Now, I have to contemplate the future with Ed Rendell as my Governor. In a few years, I will vote with my feet.

Why, John : Thank you ever so much for defecating so profoundly on New Jersey !

OK : Let's talk about Leroi Jones/Amiri Baraka . He is, as nearly as I can figure out,one of the least important people in our state; and I continue to be astonished anyone has taken the time ( and/or the requisite medications ) to actually read anything this self-described cultural icon has written !

Anybody in New Jersey with half a brain knows this gentleman was made "Poet Laureate" as a taxpayer-funded " thank you note" to Sharpe James : the REAL Black Power in North Jersey. Ol' Sharpe delivered the vote for Mc Greevey, as promised, and Mc Greevey had to deliver some sort of payback...or else !

We could go on and on about our ( unread ) Poet Laureate, and how nasty he is , but why give him the publicity ??

There is a " whole OTHER issue " worth exploring: NJ's State Police Director. Was he appointed because he is/was Sharpe James' " bagman " ??

Barak represents Governor McGreevy and the democrats in New Jersey. Leave the rest of us out of it, if you don't mind, Mr. Prager
