Pass the Mutz, Keep the Yutz

Read about making (DELICIOUS) mutz at M & P Biancamano Deli in Hoboken

My goodness, Tuesday night's BoE meeting is the gift that keeps on giving!

Giving to this blog, I mean.

GA just got two more eyewitness testimonials  that are so compelling, I've decided to make them their own post.  

Here's the first, from someone who sat through the entire raucus BoE meeting and lived to tell.

Peter Biancamano sat at the dais Tuesday making a complete ass of himself (which is the norm).

It started with him pointedly accusing the seasoned, renowned BA Davis of presenting a budget without publicly noticing it in the newspapers. Only to be told that this was NOT the Budget Presentation but was simply an explanation of the anticipated projections for the Budget and that only the board can present the budget on the agenda. DUH!

You are a sitting board member and don't know this?????  There's more.

One of the funniest and most embarrassing points of the meeting for Deli Boy was when he tried to pull a "gotcha" regarding the public petition the Raia clan was trying to use and was told to "cut" by one of his handlers.

Deli Boy had slyly commented some thing along the lines of  "WELL, it is my understanding that the BA received a petition this afternoon at 2:30, BEFORE this meeting, containing 2600 signatures"- with a shit eating grin and a twinkle in his eye...

Only to be told by the attorney that said petition was irrelevant.

Aghast, Deli Boy began stuttering and belched out- "Buuu, buuu, buuutt there were 2 petitions!  You got 2 petitions!  The public has already decided in those 2 petitions!"

He sounded like a fool- it was SO bad, that Nick Callichio, from the rear of the room, was wildly gesturing "CUT" to Deli Boy. Unfortunately Deli Boy was so stunned he didn't pick up on the "cut" sign himself so Theresa Minutillo, politely informed him, "Nick, in the back of the room, is telling you to be quiet."

Deli Boy got silent and sat in pure dazed confusion- which, again, is the norm for all meetings.

You think Tim is dim? You should go to a few  BoE meetings, they must have been twins separated at birth- Deli Boy obviously got the short end of the oxygen stick.

Yes, reader I DO think Tim is dim.  Don't you?

So dim in fact, I'm dedicating this original knock-knock joke to him:

Tim: Knock, knock.

Hoboken Mayor, City Council and all her Directors:  Who's there?

Tim:   It's me, Councilman Occhipinti.  There is graffiti on the 4th Ward overpass into the country of Hoboken. I’d like to think that this is one of the “gateways” into our country and this is unacceptable. Graffiti not only lowers property values in our nation but this is what visitors and residents see first upon entering our land.  I am not entirely certain whose jurisdiction this falls under so I included Freeholder Romano and the entire team investigating me at the Newark F.B.I. office.  Perhaps I should send this to Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno in Trenton?  Please work on a corrective action plan to address the graffiti on multiple walls and let me know your course of action to resolve this. I would like you to provide the plan to address this at next week’s council meeting.  Pop-up book format preferred, but a coloring book is acceptable.

Hoboken Mayor, City Council and all her Directors:  The overpass is in Jersey City, and belongs to NJ Transit.  And Hoboken is not a country, you frigging idiot.

Tim:  Thanks for clearing that up!  Which reminds me, there are big piles of doggie doo under that overpass which lowers property values and is the first thing that visitors and residents see when entering the country of Hoboken...

Once an idiot, always an idiot. 

Now, for our next eyewitness testimonial to Hoboken's own Jerry Springer Show.

Toward the beginning of the meeting, the guy who assaulted a Kids First supporter in a polling place last year and grabbed her camera, Michael Holmes, was walking around the back of the room slamming his fist into his palm yelling "Why can't we just take care of this like old times? The old-fashioned way?" He did not look like he was kidding. He is notorious for a long history of assaults and altercations over politics, but it's pretty surprising that these people still pull this stuff out in the open nowadays. It just doesn't play well at all, what used to be their own private turf is now public domain, and all they do is show their true colors.

Oh boy.
