The Real Story behind the Lyndhurst (bait and) Switch

Boy, talk about the tip of the iceberg.

Here is an article in NAToday.net North Arlington news website that gives a little bit more of the local flavor.

This completely helps shed more light on the story that Ferriero-crats in Bergen County want to keep a lid on by by throwing out more red herrings before an election than a guy fishing with dynamite. Don't get lost in the distractions, folks. Here's what you should know about the situation.

Remember Paul Sarlo? (a Dual office holder - Triple if you consider he is a sitting state senator, as well as the Mayor of Wood Ridge and also a highly paid Professional Engineer for the Borough of Carlstadt) Well, former Democrat Mike Guarino who had the AUDACITY to run against FOJ Paul Sarlo for Senate as a Republican but who had his bid VOIDED by the powers that be (remember that story, folks?) figures into this. Reminds me of how Katherine Harris - I mean the Bergen County Clerk tried to get the entire Bergen County Dems line disbanded on a technicality.

Apparently Guarino was interested in the Encap mess as far back as 2005 according to the following article in the Record and has annoyed the powers that be - Sarlo particularly.

This is why Guarino switched from Democrat to Republican. He could not stomach a Paul Sarlo win unopposed by anyone. Guarino won about as many write in votes to be on the Republican ticket - by grass roots Republicans no less - as Sarlo got for the Deocratic ticket by machine Dems.

Funny how Guarino's votes were voided and in a town that is SUPPOSED to be non-partisan. Guarino makes Ferriero-crats like BlueBergen see red.

But now you know "the rest of the story." And so another Bergen County town falls to the Ferriero-crats.

Boy, I can't wait for the new Party Democracy Act to become law. Poor, poor anonymous BlueBergen, enjoy these last few wins, and then find another line of work. You're tap dancing is so frantic now and obvious, that I'm quite afraid you'll faint like poor Marie Osmond.

Have you heard about the LiveEarth concert coming to Giants Stadium this summer?

In the spirit of Live Aid or Farm Aid, Live Earth will be a 24hr. world-wide event that uses great music and star power to raise attention and money for a good cause. In this case, Mother Earth is the focus and the lineup is a stellar one: Melissa Ethridge, Dave Matthews Band, Alicia Keys, Bon Jovi, Roger Waters among others. Did I mention that Ludacris would be there too?

Rumor has it Pink Floyd may reunite for this show. Al Gore will be there. He's the spiritual godfather of the modern movement and a partner in this event. The concert is July 7th, with venues from all seven continents and the choice in North America is our own East Rutherford. How cool is that?

Read about the event's light carbon footprint after the flip.
