Hoboken Journal Fact Check- Illegally Parked Car is Shared City Vehicle

Clipart from ChristArt.com
On another website in Hoboken today it was erroneously reported that the Mayor's vehicle was illegally parked on 7th and Monroe Street last night. I was able to confirm from two sources within the Administration that the car was not exclusively the Mayor's but it is indeed a City vehicle that is shared.

One of the sources Juan Melli gave me a quote:
"As opposed to past Administrations that had multiple vehicles, the City now has just one shared vehicle for use by all directors, the Mayor's office and the Business Administrator. The vehicle used by the prior Public Safety Director was returned to the Fire Department for their use. In this particular instance, Public Safety Director Alicea, who is on call and responds to situations 24/7, was using the vehicle in order to respond to emergency situations that may arise."

Additionally, the whole street is yellow because it is a school zone and since school is not in session it is perfectly legal to park there this time of year like all the other cars were doing. 

Whether it was a lie or a mistake the website that reported this false story on two counts needs to drop the anti-Zimmer Jihad agenda, hone in on their fact finding skills and rely less on the fact that they have a press pass to defend their credibility.

Thanks RG for getting the facts and setting the record straight.

I wonder if he will allow anyone to post the truth on his site . ;)
Well Kurt, you could devote your site to correcting Perry, or we could move along. Perry lies. Check. Perry edits posts. Check. Perry censors posts. Check. Perry might have stolen the Lindbergh baby. Check.

You get my point.

Give him a break - at least he remove that JibJab video in the right margin so we don't have to see LB's countenance every time we open the HJ page! : )
New tact on this website from me. We don't mention the website or it by name. We don't mention the ghost writer by name either, that would be lame. In other words we don't talk about Fight Club.

Now try it and follow my lead. Think of it like the Seinfeld episode where they talk about being the master of their own domain but never quite saying the word masturbate. Try it. I know it is right up p1wood's wooden alley. He won't splinter away and deviate from the new rules of engagement.

So what do we call them? Call them tweedle-dumb and tweedle-dumber?

I kind of like when he corrects Perry, but I do think Perry's name is on this site too much. Maybe you can substitute "Unnamable webmaster."

I am starting to do that I have removed the ghost writer jib jab. I will refer the site in question as some other website.

The original post here deleted by author as inappropriate.

The last 24 hours or so were actually a very unpleasant time on the blogs for me. Life might be so much easier if I could bring myself to be more callous.
More later.

Same here. My mom used to say "If you don't have anything nice to say, jump off the Brooklyn bridge." I ended up on that goddam bridge twice a week. You?

Infotainme- I think I owe you an apology. Just a line to let you know your post was funny, I was just in a **** mood this morning. Sorry for being so toxic. I really do enjoy your posts. On the other thread ref- 411, I a coupla hours ago posted my rambling take on all this.

I 'm sure I don't know what you're apologizing for, but if it matters, I haven't taken any offense.

This - http://thehobokenjournal.blogspot.com/2010/08/per... - I find offensive. Wonder if anyone still thinks he didn't grab a camera when his anger got the better of him.

I noticed that too. Makes me want to turn off the computer and take a shower. That kind of behavior is always by the same people that question (or haughtily acuse!!!!!) if "agenda motivated" moderating is going on. I guess they need to say something in bad taste that should be moderated to prove their case.

Kurt, now that you are gaining converts, I guess we need remember that "even rats get off a sinking ship".

That's if the rats don't have rabies. The same individual goes to council and school board meetings carrying a notorious graphic from the GA site and acting for all the world like an offended small town preacher facing down the devil.

Can you say 'compartmentalize'.
