So, shall we see what's shaking in the AH Herald...
Bishop Gordon takes us on a stream of consciousness ride with his tirade on the New York Times and its position on the Jets' West Side stadium. How in the world did he win "Journalist of the Year" and become a "national award-winning author" with writing like this:
...Herbert’s column on November 15 blasted the $1.4 billion proposed stadium backed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Governor George Pataki.
Why?
Because The Times doesn’t want it.
Herbert, the paper’s “token” black OP-ED columnist, prefers that any public funds for the stadium be spent instead for toilet paper and gymnasiums, athletic fields and playgrounds for the city’s impoverished public schools.
I guess Herbert forgot about the infamous $6 billion Westway project I investigated in the mid-1980s, a project so massive it would have filled up almost half of the lower Hudson River for four miles.
What? (Bob) Herbert writes he's not in favor of the stadium + Herbert believes that tax payer money should go toward better funding for NYC's public schools rather than a stadium for the Jets = Herbert forgetting something the Bishop investigated 20 years ago that is completely unrelated. Huh? I suppose Herbert did forget. All he was saying was that the money was better spent on playgrounds for kids in the city and not on a stadium for the Jets. I've no idea what the Bishop is talking about.
Paul Boyd praises the restoration work being done on the building at 33 First Avenue, across from the TGI Friday's Harborside Grill. I agree, the building is going to look great. Can anyone tell me what's moving in? I'm assuming a restaurant. I'm hoping a steakhouse. I think a nice steakhouse would draw a lot of business from the area as I don't know of any really good ones nearby. Note to Atlantic Highlands restaurateurs - if you build it they will come. Something like Uncle Jack's would be perfect.
Me thinks the AH Democrats should start their own online newspaper lest they continue getting slammed by Allan Dean and Jack "the Psychic" Archibald. Dean reports on the "rash of resignations" at Borough Hall and Archibald writes how the Dems "botched the backroom deal." Maybe the Dems are attempting to stay above the fray but it'd be nice to hear from them every once in a while.
Sister Catherine Iacouzze, a 69-year-old nun at St. Cecelia’s Parochial School in Iselin, was charged with harassment for saying to one of her (misbehaving) students, 'With an attitude like this, you’re lucky you have all your teeth.' The boy's father eventually dropped the charges at Woodbridge Municipal Court and Sister Iacouzze promptly rapped him five times on the knuckles with a ruler. I wonder how many Hail Mary's one's given after Confession for bringing a nun to court on harassment charges?
