Governors Race

  • Fresh off headlining a panel on the economy at Netroots Nation this weekend, Gov. Corzine will talk to Blue Jersey Radio today. We'll play it for you tomorrow. Here's the Governor's shout-out to Blue Jersey at NN09.

  • New York Times examines Chris Christie's record, going back to his one-time stint as a Morris Freeholder, and finds hypocrisy. He ditched his promises to end no-bid contracts, and approved hundreds of them including many benefitting his contributors. But Christie doesn't want you drawing conclusions from that, because he's more "mature" now.

    Pleeeeeese officerrrrrr did I do something wroooooong?

  • Bob Dylan gets stopped by Long Branch PD.

    Buffer zone

  • Farmland preservation and open space purchases by the military are expected to expand a buffer zone between local residents and McGuire Air Force Base, Fort Dix and Lakehurst Naval Air Station.

    Vets

  • Almost 3,000 returning NJ National Guard members, look toward their future, after serving in Iraq.

  • Six Wounded Warriors visit Hoboken.

  • Remembering that movie GI Joes aren't as important as real veterans.

    Go, New Jersey!

  • Yeah, you can take a couple hours off your wall-to-wall obsession to watch some Jersey kids play the game of their lives, tonight, right? The Somerset Hills team is one win away from the Little League World Serious Series. ESPN!

    Global warming

  • It's finally summer in New Jersey, only 2 months past the solstice (almost). It's hot. Take it easy out there.
