The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Clifton, NJ protection racket puts the kibosh on popular Halloween display
The police are really concerned about your safety. Which they'll gladly ensure, if you hire off-duty officers to direct traffic.
Police are cracking down this weekend in one Clifton neighborhood to keep out-of-towners from checking out a house that draws hundreds of visitors each year with its massive Halloween display.
The elaborate display at 562 Grove Street features some of the scariest sights around, with scores of bloody corpses on the ground and the roof, tombstones, zombies, ghouls and goblins and more.
Many of them are robotic that move and make spooky sounds as people pass by.
I saw it last weekend; it was awesome.
This Halloween weekend, the city has posted no parking signs around the neighborhood as a safety measure.
Uh huh, safety.
"The city reached out to me at one point trying to find out how they could mitigate complications of last year of which I'm not sure what they were speaking of because there were no traffic accidents that I'm aware of and no injuries that I'm aware of," [Homeowner Wayne] Gangi told 1010 WINS. "But they were trying to insist that I be paying off-duty police officers to control the traffic in front of my home."
I can just imagine how that conversation went. "Nice little Halloween display you got there, be a shame if nobody got to see it."
Go ahead, tell me that isn't a page right out of Tony Soprano's Shakedown 101 playbook.
The only difference is, when the cops do it, it's legal.
