Media Double Standard...

http://allspinzone.com/blog/index.php?itemid=940

This speaks volumes about the way things work with the SCLM (So-Called Liberal Media) when it comes to missing women (if you're not white don't even try getting any national media attention when you turn up missing).

Atom feed...

I've just added a syndication feed to this blog so if you just can't get enough of my political ramblings (and occasional other stuff) you can always syndicate seanfromnj to your preferred reader.

You can find it here.

I'm going to wait on this one...

I'm loath to believe anything that comes out of Forrester's mouth so I'm going to wait on this one before passing judgement. I'd like to see the numbers on the risks located in the different Democratic controlled municipalities as opposed to the Republican ones. I'd bet you'd find that many of the places with huge risks located there (like Camden with all its infrastructure and landmarks) are Democratic controlled while many of the Republican controlled places are one stop light and a gas station. But I could be wrong.

If Doug Forrester had his way I think every Democrat in the state would be resigning, at least that's how it seems to me. Every day he seems to be calling for another Democratic official to resign, it's all just an attempt to trap Corzine by creating a faux scandal where none exists. Hopefully the people of New Jersey will see through his blatant attempts to drum up controversy and see Forrester has no plans for this state other than destroying Property Tax Relief and bankrupting the state treasury (he wants to do to New Jersey what his buddy Dubya did to America).

Catching up...

Just catching up, it's been so long since I've posted anything...

First K Street, then MLB, then the world...

Fresh from the subjugation of K Street to the Republican's whims, now they're trying to ensure that Major League Baseball only allows those who contribute sufficiently to Republicans to buy teams. What's next? Demanding corporations only hire CEOs who have donated enough money to the Republican Party? You never saw this blind ambition, this ruthless power grabbing, when Democrats controlled things. There were times when they could have brought the entire apparatus under their control but they didn't.

Those Republicans, eternal optimists...

Never let it be said the Republicans don't know how to look on the sunny side of things. They look at a tragedy and all they see is the profits they'll make off of others' misery.

Who'd have thought, a non-political post...

I've heard both sides on this one but I seriously think Moorestown was a good choice. One of my co-workers suggested that it was odd that Moorestown is the best place to live and Camden, just five or so miles down Rt. 38, is the most dangerous city in the country. But if you lived in Moorestown (which I don't) you'd know that it might as well be on a different planet from Camden.

It's about time New Jersey was known for something good. Moorestown is a great community. It has a church for pretty much any political affiliation you could ever need (it even has a Quaker meeting house, two Friends schools and a Friend's retirement home all just on Main Street). It has a huge mall on the outskirts of town but it also has a lot of small businesses that give the town character.

Main Street is another feature that makes Moorestown so great. It's such a nice little community street. I was walking up it today and it's really what you'd hope to find in any small town in America. We went to get my Mom a pair of shoes at Carl's (a local institution for decades). The building they were in for years burned down recently and PNC Bank was nice enough to lend them some space in its branch a few doors down so they can continue operating until their new building is built on the same location as the old one. They'll probably be in that new building for decades to come.
