Senator Joseph Doria and the New Jersey Political Tradition.

New attacks against my computer make posting essays very difficult. I am unable to scan for new viruses. May 29, 2007 at 3:22 P.M. My blogs have been indexed and quoted at:

Ronald Smothers, "New Jersey Moves to End Its Dual-Office Tradition," in The New York Times, May 27, 2007, at p. 29.


Sunday, May 27th, I experienced a particularly bad computer attack. I was unable to print items from my msn group, so I signed out and tried again. I received a blank page with the following address on it:

1. http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/N3754.sitemsn.com/B1602301.118;sz=728x90PI=msn_ron_35cl_728x90;0...

I signed out yet again and tried once more to print the item, only receiving a blank page with this address:

2. http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/N2998.MSN/B2244638.11;sz=728x90;ord=2066958742?

I tried one more time. The result was the same; the address was different:

On May 29, 2007 at 9:29 A.M. there were 787 intrusion attempts against my computer. My printer is frozen, so that my child was unable to print out her homework assignment yesterday. Main attacker 24.192.174.68. Political whores in New Jersey managed to prevent my child from printing her homework on time. This is their victory for the week.

I live in a society that guarantees my freedom of expression and criminalizes efforts to suppress freedom of speech. I do not believe that this level of attack against my computer and myself, over decades -- much worse has also been done to me -- can take place without the participation and cooperation of New Jerey government officials or their hirelings. For such officials to speak to me of "ethics" is hypocrisy and mendacity elevated to an art form. New Jersey's legal system is self-covered in feces.

"TRENTON, May 25 -- Sometime next month, the New Jersey Legislature is expected to end the state's well-worn -- some would say worn-out -- practice of [politicians'] holding more than one elective office at a time."

"The measure, which had been bottled up in the Senate, finally won the approval of that body's president, Richard J. Codey, last week, setting up a vote in the Assembly, where it originated."

"Its chances of passage are good and there is little doubt that Gov. Jon S. Corzine will sign it. [Corzine] had told law makers that if they wanted his help in grappling with property tax relief, they had to go along with him on eliminating the dual-office tradition, a practice that feeds into New Jersey's reputation as an ethically challenged state." (emphasis added -- AND HOW!)

Those who already hold multiple positions -- will still be able to draw increased pensions -- so they will not be affected by the new legislation, not surprisingly. Among those shrewd politicians is Senator Joseph Doria, of Hudson County. Mr. Doria is known to play "bad cop" to Bob Menendez's preferred role as "good cop" -- the two "Hudson County Boys" are thick as fleas -- when trying to muscle money or perks for their political turf. Mr. Doria is known as a strong political "enforcer" for the Hudson County Democrat organization.

These two ... eh, "gentlemen" (Menendez and Doria) combined to finagle some $30 MILLION in so-called federal "seed money" for a building project in Bayonne's, allegedly, "chromium-saturated" landscape. Both men are said to chuckle merrily over this finagling.

Won't the tax payers and developers be surprised at the full value of their investment? Or is it at the lack of value of that investment?

"State Senator Joseph Doria, who is also the mayor of Bayonne, plans to retire from the Legislature. [Doria] would not lose either job under the proposal's grandfather provisions, but, for the record, he said he does not favor the ban."

"... In 2004, Mr. Doria was sharply criticized because he wanted to receive a third paycheck from the state as the president of Ramapo College. He ultimately abandoned that plan, but not before Mr. Codey, who was acting governor at the time, came out in support of Mr. Doria's appetite for another state job."

Hey, wadda-ya gonna do. Dem guys ... Just let 'em wet their beaks a little. Geez. What's the problem?
