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.

New Jersey: We're #1! We're #1! We're #1!
Number 1 in property taxes that is.
The highest property taxes in the nation. For the 3rd year in a row.Thanks Jon Corzine! Same to you Dick Codey, we couldn't have done it without you! Albio Sires, come on down and collect your award!
But Joe DiVencenzo, you're falling down on the job. When the data is broken out by county, Essex County ranked behind Hunterdon and Bergen counties. Better luck next year!
Now you'll have to excuse me while I go dig around in the sofa cushions for some tax relief.
UPDATE 23 Sep 2009 21:20:
And we rank dead last for business thanks to our state's oppressive tax policies.
The two ranked 50th and 49th respectively in the analysis of state personal, corporate, sales, property and unemployment-insurance taxes in the year that ended June 30. The study, released today by the Washington, D.C.-based institute, said South Dakota and Wyoming, which have no corporate or individual income taxes, have the best business climates.
Oh yea, the hits just keep rolling in, don't they?
And the people keep moving out:
Through August 2009, 58.6 percent of the New Jersey moves handled by the St. Louis-based national moving company were "outbound," or exiting the state. Only three states — Maine, Nebraska and Michigan — had a higher percentage of people fleeing.
Get out while the getting's good? It's too late for that.
