Ooga Booga


My friends Da Horsey and Da Kurt have covered this story already, so here are my 2 cents.

On Thursday, June 10 Beth Mason sent out a 473-word email-blast (I included "Beth" in the word count). Now, 473 is a lot of words. Our previous president, you-know-who, didn't like to read lengthy reports or his daily briefs so had aides summarize them for him. Which I will do for you here.

So what did Councilwoman Mason say in her 473-word email? Here is my summary:

Ooga Booga.

Do you know what that means? Think of it as an incantation, something a witch doctor or shaman might utter to frighten you senseless or make you believe a patent falsehood.

Please click on above links to read Mason's 473-word email in it's entirety. You won't find it on GA. Instead, here are selected excerpts from her email. With some editorial inserts. Mason said:

I need your help to protect our neighborhoods. This Sunday, June 13th at 7 pm, the City Council is having a special meeting where the Mayor will ask the Council for the authority to borrow $15 million to relocate the Hoboken Department of Public Works Garage (commonly referred to as the Municipal Garage)

Ooga Booga. Your neighborhood is being threatened.

Both the City Council President and the Mayor’s Spokesman have stated that strong consideration is being given to relocating the garage on the campus of Steven’s Institute of Technology.

Ooga Booga. Fantasy-land. Show us the videotape. Ooga booga.

It is widely believed that City Administration and Stevens intend to place this garage on either the corner of 8th and Hudson Streets or on valuable waterfront property directly across from Frank Sinatra Park that would be better used to provide more open space for our residents.

WHO "widely believes" this? A nasty smear-merchant fish out of Weehawken waters? His cohorts? The two-headed monster at H411? Ooga Booga.

Now, had you read the 473-word email as I presume the Councilwoman intended, you'd have swallowed the association between the approval of the $15 million bond ordinance being voted for on Sunday and the fact that the new Municipal garage is going to be located in your backyard. Ooga Booga.

In fact, the only path to the city buying back the garage is to approve the $15 million bond ordinance.

So what is Mason up to? It looks to me like sabotaging the Zimmer administration has become her calling, to the detriment of all of us who live here now and in the future.

Ooga Booga.

  1. Is ANYONE not going to help campaign against her in '11?

  2. That's one cute voodoo doll, GA.

    Especially like the snake/bondage-action on the legs. Very Ooga Booga.

    And the XX's on hands/feet. Assuming those are the well-deserved kisses of political death in the 2nd Ward....
