Here is one of the classic early 1990s WNBC “We’re 4 New York” promo composed by Edd Kalehoff. New Jersey gets a brief mention with Jersey Shore at about 55 seconds in, but only after they mention Greenwich in Connecticut. It is still a bit better than what happened with the original 1992 version, which didn’t even mention the Garden State. But the original is truly a classic and you get to see Chuck, Sue, Len, Al Roker, Carol Jenkins, and the late great Ralph Penza, which sort of makes up for the short shrift of New Jersey. This is what happens when almost all of the state’s TV coverage comes from next door! Although we should mention that WNBC does have the best New Jersey coverage of any of the New York stations including the “Yeah we’re a New Jersey station” WWOR.
The scandal with the former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has nothing on the Jim McGreevey scandal which still has legs even a couple years after it is over. The latest is that Jim McGreevey got a young driver into a ménage à trois with his then wife - something which she deinies. It was enough to make several front pages, some more prominently than others. Political scandals, nobody does them better than New Jersey!
The Garden State has some strange, odd, bad, and/or funny road signs, yet another endearing characteristic. Here are some we have personally found around the state. Click on the photos for more details and locations.
We all know one of the things that makes New Jersey great is the Garden State’s great political scandals from Sharpe James to Jim McGreevey. No other state, with the exception of Louisiana. The New York Times has revealed that the call girl of choice “Kristen” of the Emperors Club “Client #9″ (aka soon to be former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer) was a Jersey girl.
Matt Kirkland has the right sort of idea for New Jersey taking over some inferior and less beloved states in the sake of greater efficiency. It would have to involve some exit renumbering though.
According to PolitickerNJ Monmouth county GOP Chairman Adam Puharic wants former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to run for the U. S. Senate from New Jersey against Frank Lautenberg. One catch, Giuliani lives in New York!
A drunken woman decided to park her car on the tracks of New Jersey Transit’s Pascack Valley Line tonight in the Bergen County town of Hasbrouck Heights. Thankfully nobody got hurt and the woman wasn’t in the car, which was destroyed after negatively impacting with a New Jersey Transit locomotive. Remember, the train always wins!
