The tomb is empty


Matt 28:5-6 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

Matt 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Real Results Spamburger?

A question has been posed over at Hoboken Revolt about folks’ emails getting hit with promotions from the Real Results BoE slate.  Apparently people are stating they never signed up for it.  Now they want to know how their private emails have been obtained and used for political purposes.

The last time MSV recalls such an event was when Hobo411 spammed every single email account he collected from website registrations.  The outrage was pretty powerful in the community and it didn’t help Beth Mason in the end.  In fact it may have backfired and caused an even larger blowout margin of defeat.

Hoboken Alert: BM is working, just not for you

In this week with many focused on religious observance, others planning time with family or vacation, word of a massive city wide campaign mailer from Councilwoman Beth Mason, the unannounced, self-annointed and self-financed leader of the resistance to all things Mayor Zimmer continues apace or rather to run amok.

With the Y uptown crumbling in the wake of its inability to meet payroll in Beth Mason’s own 2nd ward, you’d think maybe a fundraiser with a nice fat donation would be the kind of leadership to garner some publicity (or rehabilitation) but no such luck.  The descent into the abyss of ambition is taking yet another strange and terrible turn.  Last year Hoboken had mayoral elections spanning most of the year but now Beth Mason has decided it’s really still 2009 and this time she’s really in it to win.  She’s not kidding.  You may think it’s 2010, but Beth is geared up and ready to make a mayoralty run splash right now.  If she wakes up and discovers there’s no city hall election, her Hoboken consulting team, devoid of any Hobokenites has mapped out a plan.  First sting the mayor with a Passover gift of wine filled with oodles of gelt instead, video cameraman at the ready for later editing, followed with impeachment proceedings to be held in the court of Beth Mason.  Hey, we hear there’s a new courtroom going up at 13th and Washington right now.  The Y swimming pool is going to be rebuilt into a romper room kangaroo court, the Honorable Beth Mason presiding.  All please rise.

City of Hoboken announces:

CENSUS KICK-OFF DRIVE SET FOR HOBOKEN ON APRIL 6th =&1=&

City of Hoboken, April 1, 2010 – While announcing the launch of Hoboken’s U.S. Census awareness campaign, Mayor Dawn Zimmer highlighted recent news reports that the State of New Jersey’s participation rate with the 2010 Census is lagging the rest of the nation.

“Hoboken residents need to know three things about the Census: It’s important, it’s safe, and it’s easy,” said Mayor Zimmer. “Hundreds of billions of federal dollars are at stake each year. If Hoboken is undercounted, we could lose out on critical funding to improve our streets, schools, hospitals, and more. We strongly urge all residents to mail back their census forms as soon as possible.” Read More...

Gov. Christie: Go ahead NJEA, make my day

Unless you are part of the NJEA, this is one chilling video.  Gov. Chris Christie says he isn’t going to back down and all but calls out the union leadership of the teacher’s union as indifferent to not only children but their own membership.   You will either applaud him for it or attack him for what MSV predicted earlier would be charges of hating seniors, children and puppies.  Either way, this is a must see.

Fund on Fraud

John Fund of the Wall Street Journal came to Amanda’s Restaurant yesterday to discuss voter fraud and his book on the same topic.  Since Da Horsey was doing a live stream of the BoE budget meeting, Davidd submitted the following report for MSV.

This week you wouldn’t know the Republicans were a minority party in Hoboken. Tuesday night the Republicans of Hoboken hosted John Fund of the Wall Street Journal. Solid turnout packed Amanda’s main room with almost 75 folks paying to attend.  Fund’s speech centered on the subject of voter fraud based on his book, Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy. This successful event followed hot on the heals of the Lincoln Dinner that featured education commissioner Bret Schundler this past weekend.  A mixed crowd of GOP and some Democrats attended included local politicos Nathan Brinkman, Mike Novak and Councilman Mike Lenz. None volunteered that they were ‘voting fraud enthusiasts.’  Former mayor Peter Cammarano was not in attendance although his absentee ballot tally approaching 10% of his vote total last spring would have made for some interesting examination.

The first Hoboken BoE live stream ever!

For those who viewed the live stream, MSV hopes you enjoyed the important approval of the BoE budget.  There were some technical challenges – beaming this out from a basement on only a 3G network but the whole meeting was telecast.  Not entirely glitch free, the last six key minutes of the meeting were preserved with a software problem but still capturing a discussion with Business Administrator Robert Davis and Board member Theresa Minutillo and Board President Rose Marie Markle leading into the final approval vote.
