The Gooch, The Gooch, The Gooch is a Liar

My magic 8-ball was right - Acting Governor Codey has ordered a probe into the Monmouth County Prosecutor's office and its alleged interference with the FBI sting.

John Schabe, the editor NJ.com, has posted some more photos of the cast of Monmouth's 11, including Joseph "Tricky Dick" McCurnin, the operations manager for the Monmouth County Department of Transportation.

Allright, enough of this scandal business for a day or two.

On 2/22 I wrote about how the Two River Times stopped publishing its articles online (first item). In its 2/25 issue the TRT published a letter from David Prown of Red Bank complaining about this new policy. The paper provided a response:

We are working to address the problems our subscribers are having with our website and hope to have them resolved very soon.

Mr. & Mrs. Gooch (owners of the paper): you're lying. There are no "problems" - you simply decided not to publish your articles online anymore. And I quote from the TRT website once you click on a story:

Want to read this article? The Two River Times is available exclusively in print. Subscribe or click here to find out where you can buy this weeks issue.

The problems subscribers are having is with the silly decision to not publish the paper online. As Mr. Prown notes in his letter, "do you really think you are losing subscribers to those who only read your paper online only?"

Check out this Jersey blog from Mike Hill (no relation): Sluggo Needs A Nap. Mike covers everything from NJ politics to history, literature and life with the family. He even has his novel, Asbury Park, posted online. He also provided a link to the hit new snack from the makers of Doritos - Politicos.

Check out AH resident and publisher of the Atlantic Highlands Herald, Allan Dean, on News 12 New Jersey this weekend. Show times here.

Here's your weekly progress report on the Marxist-Communist revolution brought to you by everyone's favorite wacky uncle, Bishop Gordon.

Let's all go to FoodTown at the same time and be real nasty to each other!

Customer 1: That's MY MILK YOU BASTARD!
Customer 2: Hey, wait, you're THE JERK THAT CUT ME OFF IN THE PARKING LOT.
Mayhem ensues in aisle 8

The stars have aligned and all that is good will be coming together on March 14th at the Waldorf in New York City - Bruce Springsteen will induct U2 into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. The flip side, well it's a little scary that the band I grew up idolizing is now in the Hall of Fame, isn't that for like, The Beatles, The Stones and Lynard Skynard? Second, how rock and roll is the Waldorf Astoria? Shouldn't they do these awards at some dive bar in the Lower East Side?
