Fish Story

Here's some minor scuttlebutt concerning Trustee on the Board of the Mason Civic League, Inc. James 'Finboy ©' Barracato.

Barracato is 'the brains' of the Mason Gang, Matt Calicchio the 'brawn'.  Unfortunately this Weehawken-based 'brain' has some wiring defects; its synapses fire at each other resulting in disaster after disaster for his boss, Beth Mason.

His latest blunder: buying up a block of page 3 ads in The Hoboken Reporter under the alias "Mason FAMILY Civic League" in exchange for a hit piece about 'Nazi discourse' on MSV and GA.  Not only did the stupid ass feed reporter Stephen LaMarca utter nonsense, he gave him doctored  screenshots from this blog to make his 'point'. But left his electronic signature on his fakery.

created on July 21, 2010- page 2

Needless to say, The Hoboken Reporter was embarrassed by this, Barracato's Nazi story went up in smoke, and paper felt compelled to explain what happened- which Al Sullivan sort-of did in his column.

So what does a covert, behind-the-scenes Hudson County operative DO after this kind of humiliating exposure?

Find a new profession or disappear for awhile.

Lo and behold, GA heard some buzz that Finboy© had "left", "moved away".  Really?

GA tapped a reliable source to confirm and was told that Finboy© was "doing campaign work in New England."  And would be back "in a week or two".

Campaign work in New England?  What's going on in New England? Why would they need to import 'talent' like him from Weehawken, NJ?

Yeah, right.  A minor operative who's only worked in Hudson County is needed in New England- and needed there, because  phone, email, internet just aren't good enough.

What a load. Another Finboy© fish tale.  More likely, Finboy© has taken himself off the radar, waiting for his notoriety to cool.

"A week or two."

Judging from recent events: questions raised about the income and expenditures of the Mason Civic League, Inc. and looming publication of the Calicchio trial court transcript, Finboy© may wish to hide out in his tank a lot longer.
