    Their Own Little Mayberry on the Jersey Shore

    I saw a piece on this on NYC tvnews and had to chuckle at Joe Scarpelli's comments. " I credit this to the mayor's policies..." he is the mayor! Nice job Joe, patting yourself on the back, hope you didn't hurt your arm! I used to cover local twp meetings when I was in radio, Brick was...

    Interest Check - NJPB T-Shirts

    Ben, I'm not trying to sell you on Cafepress, but once you come up with a design, set up a free store, upload the image and buy one for yourself to check the quality, and see how it actually looks on a shirt. I will say the first shirt I bought has faded a bit, the second was a baseball...

    Interest Check - NJPB T-Shirts

    Ben, the shirts I got from cafepress are Hanes, and I haven't had a problem with them, either the dye sublimation process or the new process they use. YMMV.

    State Shutdown

    not for the career politicians it wasn't, they got to put their pork through late at night, and try to look like the solved some problem.
