GODFATHER HAS SUCH A NICE RING TO IT- BUT IT’S NOT HAPPENING
We would have said at one time that the obvious choice for the baby’s Godfather would have been none other than The Donald, being Donald Scarinci. Scarinci is de facto Godfather anyway in Hudson County, among other Counties, with The Don really more of a figure head. What poetic justice if Bob and Kay ask The Donald to be Godfather. Then he would really have the title and be Godfather. Wow! And Holy Cow! That is sheer poetry. Eat your heart out, William Blake.

Alas and alack, it is not to be. Things have cooled decidedly between this Butch and Sundance Couple ever since the famous Ashtray incident. In that incident there was a screaming match between the two over Menendez calling McGreevey an idiot in public. McGreevey is another one of the Donald’s Boys and the Donald did not approve his Boys fussing in public like that. But Menendez flew off the handle and heaved a heavy glass ashtray right at Donald’s head, fortunately missing him. We are glad it missed.

Those glass ashtrays are expensive. And to top it all off, just late last week The Donald got a target letter from the Feds, saying that he is under investigation, and also resigned from the post of treasurer of Organized Crime. Big doings afoot here in Hudson in what was shaping up to be an excruciatingly dull period. So we will not get our wish to see the coronation of The Donald as Godfather. Instead we may have just witnessed the beginning of “Shock and Awe,” Big Boy style. Big Boy is the nickname given US Attorney Christopher Christie by George Dubya.

You go to the US Open if you want, we will go to the US Courthouse in Newark and hang out for a while to see who else comes traipsing in. We know that Hoboken Mayor Dave Roberts has spent a couple of days there just recently. Pretty soon HCDO members will be able to sing “The Gang’s All Here,” in the various Grand Jury rooms. Bernie Kenny, Jr. should find it especially nostalgic, just like dear old Dad who was an early pioneer in pay-for-play corruption here in Hudson County.

One seasoned observer said when told of the target letter, “If they don’t indict the two of them I am moving to Bolivia or Nicaragua. At least if I am going to live in Banana Republic, I do now want to have a lot of illusions about it.

On the other hand, we cannot wait to see how the rest of this rolls out. Curiouser and Curioser. The Don, The Donald, Bernie Jr., Zulima Farber, to name just a conspicuous few. The landscape is going to look a lot different around here. What will we at Urban Times do for entertainment and sport? Take up bowling? Lawn Darts? Macrame? They may be hosebags, but they are OUR hosebags and we will miss them. On the other hand, think of the gazillions of dollars we will save.

EDITOR’S NOTE: We learned that Bernie Kenny and Nick Sacco have also received target letters at about the same time The Donald did. The letters are considered “fair warning” to subjects of federal investigations who could be indicted as a result of the investigation. Donald and Bernie Jr. are due to be deposed in Hudson County Superior Court immediately and will have to testify under oath under questioning by adversary attorney at the same time they are under federal investigation for possible criminality. HCDO attorneys told Judge Arthur D’Italia that they did not know where Bernie Jr. was and that they could not reach him. D’Italia took exception to that and scheduled a deposition for Kenny on Wednesday the 27th , two days later, come what may, and not matter where in the world he might be.
