This past weekend, I was in full Advent mode, in that I was physically preparing my place for Christmas.  I’m sure the spiritual stuff will come as well, usualy at Midnight Mass.

The tree is up, the lights are lit and I’ve wired the rest of the abode for sound.  Now, over the years, I have managed to collect just about 11 hours of Christmas music (not counting 48 hours of a very cool radio program). Over the last 48 hours, I listened to just about all of it and therefore am in a great mood today. But not that annoying mood where I’ll come to work in a Christmas sweater and tell people to cheer up. I do work in Manhattan, after all and have my reputation to consider. read more »

Newark Mayor Cory Booker has a tounge in cheek response to a Tonight Show joke about Newark.  I am sure this will be tossed back and forth for at least a few days.  My favorite part, forbidding Conan Obrien from flying into Newark Airport.

I think it’s a brilliant way to get his agenda across and defend the thousands of people who make fun of New Jersey all the time.

As a resident of Jersey City, the only thing our Mayor did when late night TV made fun of JC, was get drunk.  Which is what he allegedly does every night anyway.
