Zisa to Testify at Cop's Hearing.

October 12, 2010 at 2:15 P.M. Obstructions to my computer's cable signal, shockingly, resulted in shutting off my computer. I rebooted my computer and tried to run a full scan of my system.

October 12, 2010 at 4:10 P.M. Obstructions of my cable signal, again, shut off my computer. I was unable to run a full scan of my system. I will try to update my protection, back-up whatever I can, then I will write from public computers. I will try to run a full scan, once more, tomorrow. Perhaps federal authorities are unable to prevent these incidents of computer crime.

I am sure that all of this is only a coincidence. However, if there is any doubt concerning my seriousness in Trenton, I am reasonably sure that these obstructions will not prevent me from writing about New Jersey's continuing spectacle of corruption and criminality.

"HACKENSACK -- Police chief Ken Zisa has been subpoenaed to testify at an upcoming disciplinary hearing of a police officer who has been departmentally charged with driving with a suspended license."

Apparently, Zisa was responsible for issuing the "administrative charges" against the attractive female officer, Alessandra Viola, sometime last year.

Allegations of a "romance" or rejections of Mr. Zisa's sexual advances or "overtures for sex from Viola" could neither be confirmed nor denied. Evidently, more than a driver's license was suspended in this matter. What's a guy to do? Threaten her, Mr. Zisa. Women like that.

Zisa has been arrested and charged with criminal fraud and official misconduct in connection with another matter (or matters), also involving an alleged female paramour.

Zisa is quite a ladies' man.

" ... Richard ["consigliere"] Malagiere [Zisa's lawyer] has applied to quash the subpoena ..."

"We don't got no time for this here!" Mr. Malagiere said.

"Attorney Patrick Toscano, Jr. of Caldwell, who is representing two other city officials Lt. Vincent Rialto and Joseph Al-Ayoubi in their disciplinary hearings, said he also plans to question Zisa."

Did Ms. Viola's rejection of a sexual proposition from Zisa result in administrative charges against her? We'll find out. This is getting good. Like "Gossip Girl" or something.

" ... Christie pulled the plug Thursday on the once-estimated $8.7 BILLION [N.Y. rail link] project because he believed cost overruns would reach a final total anywhere between $11 BILLION and $14 BILLION. [More like $20 BILLION probably.] New Jersey would be responsible for additional costs."

The amounts of expected mafia thefts from such a project in New Jersey would be in the billions of dollars.

6,000 jobs created by this project would probably include 4,000 jobs that would go to deceased workers. The mob is pissed off because Christie won't let the boys "dip their wicks." They're willing to kick back to Christie. What's the problem? Harassing me doesn't seem to help for some reason. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")

"The way to get out of a hole is to stop digging. That's metaphorically true [?] about debt. It is literally true[?] about an $11 BILLION to $14 BILLION tunnel to Macy's."

A philosopher we got here? "Metaphorically true?" Somebody's been reading Wittgenstein. Don't you know that it's all relative? ("Why I am not an ethical relativist.")
