Ridgewood Nj, a reader made some strong point promoting what they claimed was “protecting the environment “

“So the problem of carrying food home is a false argument: someone goes to the store and carries their own bags, which are empty, they carry the bags home, full.

On the drive up to Newark to view the trial of our senior senator on corruption charges, I heard a radio talker complain that the media are ignoring the proceedings because Bob Menendez is a Democrat.

I wanted to discuss that with the guy who’s been sitting next to me for the past few days of the trial.

Unfortunately, he fell asleep.

When I saw  him in the hall during a break, I mentioned that to him. He replied, “Poke me if I start to snore.”

The prosecution seeks to pound into the heads of the juries all of the instances in which the senator got treatment that few of us will ever experience. All came courtesy of  his friendship with a Florida eye doctor who was found guilty last spring of 67 counts of defrauding Medicare of $105 million.
