Meet Lordi, band representing Finland in the wildly popular Eurovision Song Contest. One of their hits is "Chainsaw Buffet." Celine Dion won it in 1988.Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman at Common Dreams list the The Ten Worst Corporations of 2005, & why they are the worst. They had so many to choose from. I'd like someone to make a list of the ten worst governed towns in New Jersey. No large cities. Not even obvious smaller picks like Asbury Park & Plainfield. We know all about those. There are plenty of municipalities with lousy zoning boards, poorly managed finances, overt cronyism, shakey public safety departments, mediocre schools.
In my on-going project to clean the bathroom, waiting to see if the Drano Max Gel unclogs the sink, which has been draining slower & slower for months, & environmentally sound attempts to plunger it open have failed. [update: success!] The floors & walls have been scrubbed once over. They need a second. Also have to purchase an air-conditioner; it rarely gets really hot inside in the summer, I'm on a middle floor & have a ceiling fan, but like anywhere else in Jersey you gotta wring some humidity out of the air.
