>PJ, please make it easier to post a new topic on this blog directly from the site rather than sending an e-mail.

>

“I agree with “concerned and inquiring mind”… PJ, please make it easier to post a new topic on this blog directly from the site rather than sending an e-mail. It is the greatest deficiency of this blog and raises questions about the the veracity and diversity of original posts. Why not eliminate these questions and open up the blog, as it should be?”

Once again lets clear up a few misunderstandings : first this is a free market oriented blog ,neither the democrats or republicans in this state almost ever get it right ,thus the mess we are in. We support some politicians because we like there stand on issues. To us New Jersey is more like a one party system ,the party of tax and waste .

Second this blog reserves the right to publish what ever it feels like …period! Sorry to break it to you but what newspaper or website doesn’t ? As I have stated on all to numerous occasions we hold back on police business ,because we don’t want to inadvertently interfere , we will publish some stupid comments,because we want you to know what some of your neighbors are thinking ,or they are funny ,clever just not the same poster or silly flogger repeating the same comment over and over to every post on this blog for 3 years. We don’t publish all the irresponsible its Bush’s fault because I got a parking ticket nonsense,you have national TV for that .

We try not to publish partisan or even non partisan misinformation ,misscharacterization or just plain lying from people with secret agendas trying to intentionally mislead people. There are not only many blogs,local flogs and websites for that but much of the mainstream media seems to embrace it.

We are a local blog ,that’s why its called “the Ridgewood blog” ,its about the Village of Ridgewood. National Issues are debated in the context of how they effect all of us .

We generally don’t publish “wife or husband cheating stories ” even though we recieve many. We will publish criticism ,complaints and policy debates about local issues ,get over yourself its called DEMOCRACY you don’t have to like it its the price you pay living in a free country. Questioning policies is not being negative its called thinking ,try it you might like it.

And finally ,bring your sense of humor to the table a lot of the comments on here are just busting ,you know who you are and you know who you are not. The Fly column has over 25 regular contributors and believe it or not I don’t always fully embrace everything they say either ,but they took the time to put together a coherent point of view . Don’t like it write one yourself and send it in .If you want to get it published on here stick to the point ,don’t blame some distant imaginary adversary ,have something coherent to say and don’t lie in such an obvious disingenuous manner .

And for those of you who occasionally get offended or find this blog a bit to controversial or feel its destructive ,remember one thing and smile ,you should see the posts we don’t publish they are far nastier ,more revealing and far more compromising than anything that goes live. Like the Ridgewood Blog or not people seem to tell us everything and I mean EVERYTHING.

So learn to laugh ,embrace your neighbors ,speak up ,have a little fun we all want the same things; good schools and a safe positive environment for our children .Don’t forget to say Hi when you seeing wandering around the Village .

thank you again

>Steve Lonegan : Reprint of our Exclusive Interview

>large LoneganTues
Thursday, March 05, 2009

The Ridgewood Blog presents an Exclusive Interview with Gubernatorial Candidate Steve Lonegan

So after a little phone tag I finally had an opportunity to sit down with Steve Lonegan and talk the campaign ,Chris Christie ,Governor Corzine and the New Jersey Supreme Court .What stuck me the most is that behind the visions of a tough veteran campaigner is a very passionate man that cares a lot about people .Our interview in the midst of a long day on the campaign trail was only interrupted by a call from his mom.

So I started with something that always bugs me How can a guy running against government subsidies ,take matching funds to run a political campaign ? You see ,he said and i paraphrase ,Corzine can reach into his pocket and take out $60 million bucks but my own mother can only give me around $3400 so either you have to lift the limits or I would be at a huge disadvantage in not taking the matching funds.

I pressed him on why he thought he could really cut state spending and he assured me that cutting down and consolidating the number of departments in the state was very doable . He also reminded me that Pennsylvania one of the states New Jersey residents have been fleeing to ,has a flat tax so there was no reason we couldn’t do it here. He pointed me to his record running Bogota and how he enacted similar cuts .The difference being on a state level you had to add more zeros .

This moved our conversation to Bogota and that it had only 8000 residents and I wondered if he thought that was a fair comparison to Trenton ? Again he reminded me and I know this to be true from running this blog ,that in Trenton you have a lot of room to hide but at a local level you are looking people in the eye everyday who you might be dramatically effecting their lives.

This moved us to an other issue it seems Steve has his work cut out for him not only does he have to compete against the deep pockets of Jon Corzine and the Democratic machine but he also has to fight the “chosen one” every Republicans favorite son Chris Christie and the extremely liberal Republican party in this state .

Abbott and COAH were next on the table for discussion and changing the extremely redistributive almost socialistic NJ Supreme Court (my words ). Steve once again reminded me that as Governor he will have the opportunity to appoint 4 new justices and he assured me that the there is a pool of traditional constitutional defending judges.

Finally he stated that he is far more optimistic in the future than I and that the chief threat to New Jersey’s economy are the policies of Jon Corzine and in particular the very destructive policies of Barack Obama .

>Reader:some neighbors have been intimidated into supporting the opposition, or remaining silent, with the suggestion that their own variance requests

>For Elaine Fernandez (5:43) – God Bless you for having the confidence to identify yourself.

Many who remain anonymous find the tone of the opposing group to be intimidating and threatening. 8:28am blogged that neighbors from surrounding areas attended the meeting to voice opposition to the deli: in fact individuals were solicited very selectively. As well, the opposition informed individuals in support of the deli that the May 12 meeting was closed and only those within 200 feet of the deli who received notification could attend. Further, some neighbors have been intimidated into supporting the opposition, or remaining silent, with the suggestion that their own variance requests would be collectively and vehemently opposed.

Once the racist signs were posted regarding the “bodega” many felt they too could become potential targets of such hatred. The use of the term BODEGA was to infer the presence of unwanted Hispanic’s in the neighborhood. It is shameful that a Ridgewood High School teacher would post such a racist sign on her front lawn. Anyone with a Hispanic heritage should be outraged! Anyone with Hispanic friends and family should be outraged! Anyone with a conscious should be outraged!

MANY support the deli and would be more than happy to have it back. Those complaining purchased their homes across the street from the deli and knew it was there when they bought. The deli should come back as soon as possible. Perhaps PJ would be good enough to post pictures of the bigoted signs that are littering this neighborhood, and then, while at it, post pictures of the current deli along with the deli owner’s proposed modifications. It is a huge improvement and will compliment the neighborhood.

if some one could send in a pic of the disputed “deli” send jpeg to [email protected]

>Consumer Alert :Virgin Mobile Condones Stealing customers money

>Update:

the Ridgewood blog has been informed by several readers that on the Virgin Mobile’s website if you change or attempt to change your plan or account information you will automatically charged the full monthly change with out any prorating of charges and fees .Like most mobile phone companies customer service is almost impossible to get on the line and when you do there answer to everything is you changed your plan so you were charged for a new plan no refunds end of story. the Ridgewood blog would suggest that dumping Virgin Mobile is a better end of story.

let us know if you have been riped off by a business or government agency

>Malee Thai Restaurant

>Malee Thai Restaurant

Thai Food

2 E Ridgewood Ave
Ridgewood, NJ 07450
(201) 612-7797

We have always liked the place and have noticed many of you share our views:

these are from a site called https://www.yelp.com/biz/malee-thai-restaurant-ridgewood

This is my absolute favorite in Ridgewood. The food is fantastic. This is a family owned and operated restaurant and everyone is so friendly. We have been coming to this restaurant for over 4 years about 3-4 times a month! We know the menu by heart and have never been dissapointed. Start with the delicious Chicken Sate and some Kanom Jeep (dumplings). Then some of my favorites are Pad Thai, Kai Med Ma Moung , all three of the Curry dishes – Massamum, Panang and the Red Curry with Chicken. The Duck dishes are great as well. I highly recommend this restaurant. It is also family friendly. BYO.

and another…….

By far my most favorite restaurant in Ridgewood. This small quaint place is home for me. Excellent service, excellent Thai food. They prepare the food as hot or not as you desire. Their specials always exceed my expectations. I usually start with the papaya salad that just jumps in your mouth! If you like whole fish, theirs is outstanding in a lime Thai sauce that cannot be beat. And if you are the adventurous type, try their devil meat! It is simply divine! This little place is hopping especially during summer since they have outdoor seating!
