Unlike many states, New Jersey has refineries, pipeline infrastructure, and natural gas storage that would promote and sustain an expanded energy industry in this state. In the 1970s, Texaco was exploring for natural gas off (far off) the Atlantic City coast, but those probes were terminated when Congress in the 1980s banned continental shelf drilling.

Garden state tea partiers have received permission from the state Supreme Court to present their case for recalling Senator Robert Menendez. The hearing is to break a conflict between the US Constitution that denies recalls and the NJ State Constitution that provides for them.

According to Newsmax, the stimulus spent $55 BILLION on 57,000 projects that created SIX JOBS. Here is the way the “system” worked: using $3.03 million, a mere drop in the bucket, for a few NEW JOBS costing $303,114 a piece: $393,778 to study yellow monkey flowers. NO JOBS. $50,000 to train administrative staff at one college. NO JOBS. $300,000 to study how fruit fly bodies | Read More »
I have written about how every year the Law and Orders, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, yadda, television staples, find right-wing, gun-nut, 2nd-Amendment toting, Bible-hugging, bomb-making, Nazi-spouting terrorists running loose all over NYC, Phila., and your home town. So, right now, one of these banes of society just became the corpse of the question of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (the Vegas version). It’s not bad enough | Read More »
Maybe I am just being math challenged. GM is running an ad claiming it has recovered from its bankruptcy (it was never in real bankruptcy) and has now paid back the gov’t $6.3 billion–”bailout plus interest.” But the bailout was $85 billion, plus last Christmas, we have GMac $5-6 billion more, so how does GM’s $6.3 bill become a paid off debt? I think this | Read More »

Twelve (12) anti-resolution voters were Dems. and one was a REPUBLICAN: R-OH George Voinovich. Shouldn’t George be replaced? | Read More »
The recall for Senator Robert Menendez, an appointee, polls at 39 percent in favor, according to a Rasmussen poll. Phil Sovereignty reports on his blog that 34% would vote to keep Menendez in office, and the rest are undecided. The recall movement is based partly on Menendez’ record of voting with Obama, and especially the Senate late-night vote for Obamacare and his support of the | Read More »
According to a Washington Times editorial April 1, Obamanationcare institutes a month “charge” for long-term health care of $150/$250 a month in 2011 (unless you opt out). If you remember, 2011 is also the year the Bush tax cuts elapse and, according to the Wall Street Journal, could cost a family of 4 making $75,000, up to $2500 a year. Let’s see, $250 a month | Read More »
