Paul Mulshine NJ Voices: Opinions from New Jersey
How Christie can avoid a K.O.
By
April 30, 2011, 4:12PM
I've been joking that the endless Abbott school-funding cases denoted by Roman numerals resemble Super Bowls. But perhaps a better comparison is the Rocky movies, of which there were VI. A staple of the series is the slow-motion shot of Rocky taking a punch in the face — exactly like every governor who’s ever been on the receiving end... Full story »
Shocking ignorance about Edison at Blue Jersey
By
April 30, 2011, 2:56PM
Not to pick on our liberal friends over at Blue Jersey, but can't they get anything right? Note this post concerning the restoration of a memorial to Thomas Edison. The writer, who goes by the name of KendalJames, has some sort of grudge against Edison for not having lived according to 21st century mores in the 19th century. That seems... Full story »
Good piece on the invincible ignorance of the talk radio/neocon crowd
By
April 30, 2011, 2:46AM
I spent Friday evening at one of those gatherings of well-meaning but not-so-bright people who aspire to become conservatives but can't quite meet the standard. The occasion was a viewing party what may qualify as the first event of the 2012 presidential race. It was a candidates' forum in New Hampshire for potential contenders for the Republican nomination. You... Full story »
Will John Dough beat Heidi Hohl and Moe Lester?
By
April 29, 2011, 3:02PM
I got the e-mail below from Mark Lagerkvist of New Jersey Watchdog about this website. Thanks to New Jersey Watchdog, Chief John Dough of Essex County is now an Internet star. Double-dipper Dough is a candidate in the humorous "Name of the Year" election. He faces Yolanda Supersad in his first-round match-up - and needs your vote to continue his rise... Full story »

The Donald gave dough to Charlie Rangel
By
April 28, 2011, 10:43PM
Not that I have anything against Charlie Rangel. This is pretty funny: “The serious part of what I was saying was that it’s going to be hard for him to explain giving $4,800 to Harry Reid in the last cycle and giving $24,000 to Charlie Rangel,” Mr. Paul said, referring to the longtime New York Democratic congressman. He... Full story »
Another alternative to the public schools
By
April 28, 2011, 11:01AM
NOTE: Point proven; no more comments needed. I put up this post to make a simple point: The defenders of public schoools are incapable of answering even the simplest of questions about them. My request was thay they "make some effort to explain why the public-school bureaucracy can't produce the same results for the same investment in real dollars."... Full story »
Residents of this village have to destroy it in order to save it
By
April 27, 2011, 11:22PM
Earlier this month we saw what happened when the geniuses in Trenton redrew the legislative districts. A monkey with a Magic Marker could have done a better job. Imagine what would happen if the Trenton crowd ever got a shot at the municipal map. The savants of the Statehouse, whether Democratic or Republican, love to bemoan the multiplicity of...

A little quiz on presidential candidates' birth status
By
April 27, 2011, 4:40PM
There have been several interesting questions about whether presidential contenders have met the constitutional requirements for citizenship. Here's a little quiz. Name the 20th century contender who could have arguably been declared ineligible because the place where he was born was not a state at the time of his birth. Name his running mate, who was the sole Catholic to... Full story »
Move over birthers and big-Barbie-boob boobs; here's the original hoax
By
April 27, 2011, 12:04PM
Now that Barack Obama has released his long-form birth certificate, a lot of credulous types have a lot of explaining to do - such as why they accepted the notion that his mom would have made a long and costly flight to Kenya in 1961 for no reason whatsoever. As I noted in my prior piece, this form of stupidity... Full story »
You went to public school, right?
By
April 27, 2011, 1:35AM
Blue Jersey goes through an entire blog post on a Democratic assemblyman without once spelling his name right. A hint, lads: The legislator named "Connors" is from Ocean County, not Burlington. Full story »
Want to get really depressed?
By
April 26, 2011, 11:54PM
Read my old pal Ambrose Evans-Pritchards' blog. Ambrose is an English journalist I met in Guatemala during the war there. He has some expertise is in the world of finance. As you will see, there's not a lot of good news on that side of the pond either. The Europeans managed to screw up their own economies quite as thoroughly... Full story »
The Paul for president: Looks like it's Ron, not Rand
By
April 26, 2011, 9:13PM
Ron Paul has set up an exploratory committee. So that may settle the question of whether he or his son Rand will be "the liberty candidate" for the GOP nomination for president. He'll be a long shot, but then so will everyone else. And at least there will be one candidate standing up for the constitution - and driving... Full story »
The real birther problem: People who were born yesterday
By
April 26, 2011, 12:54AM
Uh-oh. Barbie’s back. I’m talking about that urban legend about the Barbie doll. Years ago, someone began circulating a nefarious rumor that if the famed Mattel doll were blown up to adult size, she would have the body of a go-go dancer. The figure given was usually 38-18-34. That this is nonsense should be obvious to anyone who has... Full story »
Beach Betty's surf blog: We've passed the magical 50-degree barrier
By
April 25, 2011, 9:43PM
Winter: An epic challenge for manly men and all that, but gimme warm water any day, Just got back from a trip to the beach with my dog Betty. Earlier in the evening I was out for a surf. The waves weren't much, but I noticed a really positive development: The water was no longer cold enough to freeze the... Full story »
More on why high-speed rail deserves to die
By
April 25, 2011, 4:27PM
As I've noted, I am not opposed to rail transportation in places where it actually works, such as the crowded Northeast Corridor. But those pie-in-the-sky high-speed rail projects would consume tens of billions with little prospect of success. Go to this site for some good articles on why we won't miss high-speed rail if it's cut out of the... Full story »
