The REAL issue behind The Medium
 Posted
4/11/2012 10:38:00 AM
Look, it's bad enough that some satirical "publication" called The Medium tried to generate a cheap laugh or two by trying to find humor in Adolf Hitler. I'm sorry, but that is the biggest lose-lose for anyone attempting humor. You can come up with the funniest and best Hitler joke ever told, and no one will find it funny. But that's not my issue with The Medium. I'm a middle-aged guy, and I get cheap humor. The problem I have is the fact that this rag is funded in part by The University. Now I'm all for freedom of speech, and everything that goes along with it. But please; this thing is boderline pornographic, and I don't like the fact that MY TAX MONEY, as well as YOURS, are backrolling this trash. And until that changes, I will have an issue with it. In terms of viewing future issues of ...

Politcal payback or a sound decision?
Posted
3/23/2012 9:59:00 AM
Governor Christie's nominees for the state Supreme Court are 0-for-1. With Thursday's rejection by a 7-6 vote, Phillip Kwon will NOT become the first Asian to hold a seat in New Jersey's highest court. In what would have been a history-making decision, Mr. Kwon is now a footnote in history: it's the first time, in modern times, a Governor's appointee has been rejected. Was this a form of "political payback" that the Governor's detracted have waited for, or was this decision that was made in the best interests of the people? The Governor says this is an attempt to "punish him" for his attempts to reform salaries and pension, while those who cast the "nay" votes claim Mr. Kwon is a Republic (not the Independent he claims to be), and he wasn't completely forthcoming on a legal settlement that his family was a part of. So what can we expect ...
Not a good week to be an animal

I've always maintained that the human being is, at the same time, the BEST thing and the WORST thing to ever happen to animals, and this past week, we learned why. Let me remind you of the ways that humans are the BEST for animals. We craft laws to protect them; we invest millions in sheltering and housing them; and in some cases, we treat them better than we treat other humans! With that said, the tragic events of the past week remind us why we are the WORST thing to happen to animals. First, we learn of the THIRD horse to die during the filming of the HBO series, "Luck". The 3rd horse? What happened to the other 2? We have to needelessly kill THREE horses before something is done? What is that, a clause in someone's contract that NOTHING STOPS until we hit 3? That is simply SHAMELFULL! The other incident this week surrounds a rare, earless ...
New Jersey TODAY @ 1

What a year it's been for WCTC and New Jersey TODAY! What started out as not much more than something to bridge the 2-hour gap between Laura Ingraham and Mancow has become something that in my wildest dreams I would have never thought possible. It's amazing just how many people we've featured ...how many events we've covered...and how many lives we've touched in just 365 short days. People are always asking me what I think makes the show so special, and the answer is obvious: the guests that I've invited on. So many people have a story to tell; I'm just the guy that gives them the platform. Believe me, I've had a few guests that I couldn't wait to get rid of, (no, I'm not naming names); to others that have brought me nearly to tears with the trials and tribulations of their lives, or tears from laughing so ...
It's back to the drawing board for marriage equality in NJ

Love him or loathe him, you have to give Governor Christie credit for one thing, and that's his ability to keep his promises. We saw that this past week with his (as promised) veto of the gay marriage bill in New Jersey. Sure, it passed the Senate, and yes, it managed to garner enough votes to clear the Assembly; but even as those votes we're being counted, and before the echo of the cheering supporters who were at the State House had completely faded away, the Governor was waiting with with his inked-up rubber stamp, ready to slam the word VETO across any document that would have legalized same-sex marriage. Maybe as he listened to the bill's supporters cheering its passing in the Assembly, and perhaps as he watched as they celebrated with loud cheering, hugging, and by shedding tears of joy, he twirled the rubber stamp in his fingers, ...
