Here we have another chance for Ocean Township to go after college students in the face of grave crime going on in their town…

A rash of car burglaries in town during the overnight hours have prompted police to issue a public advisory, urging residents to lock their cars and remove all of their valuables from the vehicles.

Given that college students aren’t around for the summer and that this area of town, the Oakhurst area, is where most of the college students live (and subsequently where most of the cries of, “College students are ruining our family town!” originate from) – I wonder how long before this reaches the puppet “Quality of Life Committee?” Why do I call it a puppet? Because this organization might as well be called the “We Hate College Kids” committee.

So at this point we have cars being broken into, scumbags trying to lure young girls into their cars, slumlords running rampant, filthy, disgusting “developers” robbing the property value of the town, a rash of underage drinking problems (more underage drinking problems), poor planning in a senior citizen center that caused flooding, and a growing drug trade problem…and yet these morons in Ocean Township are dead set on getting those pesky college kids out of their town?

Don’t these people have more important things to worry about?

Longtime ABC New York anchor, Bill Beutel, passed away the other day. The man was quite an accomplished newscaster, but I think that his passing is sad because he was one of the newsmen that I watched when I was a little kid.

Ok, so maybe I didn’t “watch” him, but I remember seeing him on my family television during the nightly newscast! I do remember, though, that he was a nice guy while on camera – which is a lot more than could be said for some of the bozos who are network newsanchors these days. I mean Good Lord – some of the schmucks that I see on the nightly network news shows are just atrocious. And I’m sorry for you folks out in the Midwest, but whenever I’m out that way I can barely stand to watch the damn news because the anchors are so bad.

So rest in peace, Bill Beutel.
