Driving the Left Crazy

For the past two years, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has been working on renovating the plaza in front of the museum along it's 6 block facade on 5th Avenue. This month, the new plaza opened (pictured above).

Despicable Disney Tours

I'm going a little off political topic and on to the topic of Disney on this one. Came across this story on Drudge this week - there is a tour guide company that offers 'black-market' VIP tours of Disney led by a handicapped person.

Thoughts on the Patriots Day Bombing

Every year on the third Monday in Massachusetts, Patriots Day is celebrated, which signifies the Revolutionary War Battles of Lexington and Concord; the battles that opened the American Revolution. What has become tradition in recent years in the running of the Boston Marathon on Patriots’ Day. Yesterday’s running, unfortunately, will forever be known for the fact that two bombs went off along Boylston Street in Boston; close to the finish line of the marathon and at about the time when most of the runners were completing the race.

A Dead Dictator

In 1996, I had the opportunity to travel to the nation of Venezuela. Pictured above is the view from our hotel room on Margarita Island. It is a beautiful country with a friendly people, warm climate, multitude of tourist sites and potential for economic growth. In 1999, its government was taken over by a cancer named Hugo Chavez and today, cancer has taken the life of the cancer.

The Obama Crusade against the 2nd Amendment

Nothing new in this, but today, we saw the President using American children as props when he decided to, again, go around the Constitution and Congress, signing Executive Orders to attack the 2nd Amendment.

Janeane Garfalo Attacks Joel Surnow and 24

I honestly get a nails on a chalkboard cringe whenever I hear Janeane Garafalo speak, and today, it happened again.

2013

Happy New Year! We finally made it to 2013.

Christmas 2012

The Epcot Candelight Processional

As we approach Christmas, one of the Holiest Days of the Christian calendar, I wanted to take a moment to share with you one of the most moving and uplifting presentations I had the pleasure of seeing at the Walt Disney World Resort: The Epcot Candlelight Processional!

Disney December

I previously predicted it and that prediction will come true, as I'm off the Most Magical Place on Earth this week!!!

The Break

As my readers have noticed, I have taken a bit of a break since the presidential election. The intial shock (which subsided after learning more about the reasons why) of the loss, combined with everything coming to an end, has required me to take a bit of a break. As we make our way though the holiday season, I will soon return on a daily basis. Thank you for your patience, my readers.

Hurricane Sandy: A Documentary

Nearly one month after Hurricane Sandy hit the Jersey Shore and the Northeast, I discovered the following documentary that was compiled by Charlotte Nagy, a 16 year old Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School student, who is a Rumson resident and has, her whole life, spent summers at Sea Bright.

Lincoln

His personal politics aside, I was very disappointed with the product Steven Speilberg has been putting out there after the 4th Indiana Jones movie and was wondering if he lost his creative edge. Well, after seeing Lincoln over the weekend, I'm glad to see he has it back!

December to be an Exciting Disney Month!

OK, it's been two tough weeks up here in the Northeast...first Sandy and its aftermath, then Obama winning re-election. As a result, I'm quite drained and ready for an escape, and my readers know that a visit to the land of Mickey Mouse may soon be in the cards.

Hurricane Katrina Sandy Strikes the Northeast

This is the first time I have been able to get online for a significant amount of time since Hurricane Katrina Sandy struck the northeast last Monday, and I would like to thank my readers for sticking by me and following along on Twitter in my blogging absence.

Storm Front Coming: Sandy Bears Down on the Northeast

We've been hearing about it the past week, but it looks like Hurricane Sandy will hit land on the Jersey Shore sometime this evening, somewhere between Atlantic City and Asbury Park. The storm surge is already being felt in New Jersey and all the way up toward New York City!

Ann Coulter in Philadelphia

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a book talk/signing for Ann Coulter, hosted by AM 1210 radio host Chris Stigall at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

Far Hills Races 2012: 92nd Annual Running of the Races

Another year of the 92nd Annual The Far Hills Race (known locally as The Hunt) has come and gone!

Happy 30th Birthday Epcot!

October 1st is finally here! Before I touch on the first presidential debate, the unemployment figures to come out on Friday, the question of the fairness and accuracy of the media, as well as any possible October surprises that may occur, this October 1st signifies the birthday of one of my favorite places: (a place I hope to escape to once the election passes) Epcot!
