Ex Pa. Senator convicted of bilking millions from Senate & Non Profit Org.

Long time Democratic Senator from Pa. Vincent Fumo, was convicted of more than 130 counts of fraud & corruption schemes that enabled him to live the life of the Rich & Famous. Not that he needed the money, Fumo already a multimillionaire banker & lawyer defended himself by saying that he only borrowed tools & equipment that actually cost a fraction of the amount in question. My questions then is, were there any Home Depots nearby? Senator, you deserve what you got. The next time you need some good tools will probably be in the machine shop of Leavenworth Federal Prison where you will most likely need them to pull your head out of your a**. Tired of Dirty Politicians stealing tax payer money, call your State Representatives and let them know how feel...

Bye, Bye Bernie

Bernie Madoff, the shameless Ponzi schemer, who bilked billions of dollars from clueless investors, was sent off to jail after pleading guilty. Facing a possible 150 years behind bars, Madoff plead guilty in hopes of working out a deal with the Feds. Let's face it Bernie, you will not be seeing the New York Sklyline again any time soon. If there is any consolation to the hundreds of investors that were duped is the fact that Mr. Madoff may be willing to share information that may lead investigators to some of the hidden accounts. Meanwhile, Mrs. Madoff maintains that the 70 or so million dollars she has laying around had nothing to do with the Ponzi scheme....Sure, and I believe in the tooth fairy as well..Why not arrest her too? Wasn't she privvy to all this information?

I have a suggestion. Why not take some of that remaining TARP money sitting around in Tim Geithners backyard and bailout all of those unsuspecting investors who were ripped off by Bernie. That would be such a great PR move for the Obama administration that his approval ratings would probably go thru the roof.. "Obama bails out Bernie's bamboozled bunch."

Another Corrupt Politician Facing the Music

Ex-Mayor Joseph Vas is in the biggest fight of his life. Charges of corruption had plagued the former Mayor throughout the last few years of his administration, and now finally, he will have to defend himself against these charges.

Once a larger than life figure and the face of Perth Amboy's ressurgence as a prominent waterfront town, may now just become another number in a long list of shameless & unscrupulous politicos to hone their skills in New Jersey.

If he is found guilty of all allegations, he should immediately renounce from his Legislative seat and opologize to the residents of Perth Amboy and his Legislative constituents.

Allegedly, some of the stolen money went towards the purchase of beachwear and sneakers for himself. Hey Mayor, if you had asked me, I would have given you the money. No mayor should be seen walking the streets of Perth Amboy in any pair of sneakers. The beachwear, I understand. After all you did clean up the waterfront area, so you do deserve the privelege of some nice beachwear to stroll down the boardwalk while on the way to work..
I'd like to see how the local liberal media will spin this bit of news. Read Complete Story
