WyBlog, the best thing about New Jersey since the invention of the 24 hour diner.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." - Ronald Reagan

Woman of the People Michelle Obama donned her rattiest designer overalls and ventured out among the bitter-clingers in NASCAR-land, spreading her message of Hope. And Change. And Socialism.
Many of the fans had the temerity to boo her obvious campaign appearance on behalf of Dear Leader.
Michelle Antoinette was reported to have exclaimed, "Let them eat my dust!" as she beat feet back to the safety of a nearby vegan bistro. Aides said she dined on a delightful melange of free-range arugula and Tibetan goat cheese while waiting for Valerie Jarrett to issue a press release chastising the unwashed yahoos who dared to disrespect Her Royal Highness.
And in an apparently unrelated development, I'm hearing reports that 70 hotel rooms in Gstaad were just booked by the White House travel office.
Here in New Jersey the long arm of the nanny state reached out to snatch a newborn baby from his mother's arms, hours after he was born. Hons Campbell was taken into protective custody by state DYFS officials because his three older siblings have Nazi-inspired names. The older children are already in foster care, after a Shop Rite bakery refused to decorate a birthday cake with the name Adolph Hitler Campbell and reported the parents to authorities.
You know what the parents' mistake was? They didn't name their kids Che Guevara Campbell or Mao Tse Tung Campbell. Then the state would give them a parade.
I now pronounce you Congressman and Donor: Rep. Rob Andrews (D-NJ) spent more than $9,000 of campaign funds on a European wedding for a key political donor.
Andrews said the expense was legitimate because the wedding was for a donor and volunteer adviser, allowing him to consider it a political event. Citing privacy concerns, he declined to identify the adviser, who he said helps his campaign with opposition research.
Re-elect Rob Andrews, he'll pay for your wedding!
From the not-so-friendly skies: flight attendants will now be coming through the cabins to serve beverages and collect all your spare change so we can buy gas.
Hundreds of passengers traveling from India to Britain were stranded for six hours in Vienna when their Comtel Air flight stopped for fuel on Tuesday. The charter service asked them to kick in more than $31,000 to fund the rest of the flight to Birmingham, England.
The situation may represent a new low in customer care in an era when flyers are seeing long lines, long waits and few perks. Britain's Channel 4 news broadcast video showing a Comtel cabin crew member telling passengers: "We need some money to pay the fuel, to pay the airport, to pay everything we need. If you want to go to Birmingham, you have to pay."
Wow, that's a far cry from the Orient Express.
Next time, don't take the bus either.
Passengers say it was a travel nightmare. A Greyhound bus bound for St. Louis was stranded all night at a truck-stop after the driver got off the bus and never came back.
Remember when travel used to be fun?
Remember when the phone company used to be reliable? My FiOS went down last week. "Swapja" from Verizon said the problem was with my router, so he sent me a new one via UPS. I plugged it in over the weekend and much to my amazement it worked. For most of Saturday anyway. Then it started dropping packets faster than Braylon Edwards could drop a Mark Sanchez pass.
So, after spending more than half an hour on the phone with them this morning (OK, now I want you to unplug your phones and reset the router, again...) they're sending a guy out to take a looksee, sometime tomorrow.
And that's why there was no Sunday WyBlogging.
