Congratulations to the local organizations that make a grand effort to open up food banks and to those entities that actually deliver food to senior citizens that live in low-income housing. I'm sure someone up above is recording your good Samaritan deeds. Thank you.

This article is just a silly excuse to rip Springsteen apart for being successful and idolized by so many. Mr. Cizmar's Chris Christie argument is completely childish and begs the question, what makes him such an authority? His astounding command of the English language and his persuasive skills? Judging by all the ot...

I don't care how many warrants you have out for you, or what you are under the influence of. You don't hit someone, then leave. The really wrong thing to do. When they get you, and they will get you, you will find out just how badly you have messed up. Good luck sleeping with those thoughts.

He called from home, not from his business,and he called 7 times in 10 minutes using the EMERGENCY line. That's taking time away from people who actually have real emergencies. You should be ashamed of yourself for thinking complaints about homeless people warrant use of 911.

In the first place, a DA doesn't have to accept a defense attorney's acknowledgement of a fact. They can still prove it with evidence.

How is not giving the dividend to "non-working people" considered fair? Who needs it more, a person who has a job that allows him to support himself, or a person who doesn't have a job and so can't support himself? The dividend is constitutionally based upon residency, and that was settled long ago. Get over it.
