Anyone driving down Woodward Road or near Route 33 has seen an abundance of lawn signs for da Democrats and Republicans in Manalapan, as da election is now less than 30 days away. For da most part we know who is running for da Manalapan Township Committee. Representing da GOP'ers is current Manalapan Mayor for this year Andy Boy with his running mate, da darling of da Yorktowne Club, Jordan "Stu" Maskowitz. As for who is representing da Capo di Tutti Capi, da Boss of all Bosses Gerry "One Bourbon, One Shot & One Beer" Ward has handed us two guys we call "Da Unknown Candidates," or as some on our comment section call them - Beevis and Butthead.
We have already discussed da two "unknown candidates." You can call them "Beevis and Butthead" or even "Spectacularly Unqualified" or just "Rocky & Bullwinkle." We have not discussed da GOP'ers. So, lets do that.
A special daTruthSquad investigation has uncovered a "Manalapan 2010" website for Lord Lucas and da "Masked" Man. What we have learned from their website is da following:
1. We are fairly certain that neither Jordan "Stu" Maskowitz or Andy Boy have "dabbled in witchcraft" or hired illegal aliens to be maids in their households, as far as we can determine.
2. Jordan "Stu" Maskowitz has much more hair than Andy Boy.
3. They have a platform called "Pride," which says they will (P) protect open spaces for our children and our quality of life, (R) reduce the potential for wasted time and money through technological reforms, (I) increase efficiency and affording greater transparency through technology in government, (D) define pride in one word MANALAPAN and (E) ensure quality in township infrastructure at every level to make sure Manalapan works for YOU!.
What does this mean? First, we have learned they can spell. Second, they have chosen five topics here that both GOP'ers and Democrats, including Andy Boy himself, for da most part have run on before! This means - and clearly - that nobody who has been running for office since maybe da Mosked Man seems to be doing anything to solve da issues they have run on in da past!
To be fair, and Democrats whomever they are who are running may wish to take note if indeed they really are campaigning - not one place is da words "Cut Taxes" found in their platform. Neither is anything about "Property Taxes," including what they pay -- or don't pay. To not include a pledge to cut taxes in their platform is either a mistake, or a general slap-in-da-face to GOP'ers but a question that must be both asked and answered!
4. They also have a news site webpage entitled "Latest News." One thing we can say is it is full of news. Another thing we can tell you is that it contains absolutely not one stitch of news about these two particular candidates, unless one of them was involved in da serious car accident on their news page, or da other one plays football for Manalapan High School.
5. On a good note, we found out that da two GOP'er candidates apparently are aspiring bloggers! On their website they also have a "Blog" page called "Our Blog." It is great to see that both Andy Boy and Jordan "Stu" are bloggers! We at daTruthSquad not only welcome da competition, but we salute da fact they apparently support blogging by becoming bloggers themselves! One word of advice --- We can however only hope and pray da Manalapan Township Committee doesn't try to sue you for what you write. If they do, we can definitely recommend an excellent First Amendment attorney. And, Andy Boy and Jordan "Stu," you can also look up da Mosked Man. We hear he's a very good attorney, and he seems to do very well going up against Manalapan politicos.
Oh, and since you two guys are new to blogging and da blogisphere, we should note that da one thing missing from your "blog" page is --- well --- an actual blog!!!! Now, daTruthSquad as you know knows a little something about blogging, so what you may want to do is type some sentences and make them into a blog, make sure you don't upset da Manalapan Township Committee with what you write, post them, and guess what --- you have a blog!!!! If you like, maybe you can even hire daTruthSquad to blog for you. We can always meet in Freehold during business hours to discuss da matter.
6. Their website also contains "About Andy Boy" and "About Jordan "Stu" pages, containing the usual blah, blah, blah about each of them.
7. Their website also includes some photos, links to other GOP'er candidates and a page where you can get one of those fancy GOP'er lawn signs.
It contained some interesting tidbits and was nicely laid out, but then again, there are some things it did not contain. Let's see what their website didn't contain:
ISSUE 1: TAXES! Despite Andy Boy's blah page about himself claiming he passed a budget "under his leadership" with no tax increases (unlike prior years), there have been some questions raised about how that was done and even if it was an election year stunt. Cutting taxes is not to be seen anywhere on their platform, so we must ask ourselves da question - since it's not on their platform, will they cut taxes in da future? "Cutting taxes" not mentioned by a GOP'er is like Stalin not mentioning da word "Socialist."
ISSUE 2: TECHNOLOGICAL REFORMS! What new technological reforms are they talking about? Are both of these guys sequestered in Andy's barn somewhere in Silicon Valley coming up with new and improved technological advances? You have to admit it was a great line. You also have to admit it completely lacks any substance and evidence of their new technological creations.
ISSUE 3: GARBAGE-GATE! As we all know, Manalapan's trash boys who once refused to pick up 50 gallon garbage cans will now again take them. If you ask those who claim to be GOP'ers, they might tell you that it was Andy Boy who solved this issue. We should then thank Andy Boy for reminding da garbage boys that they're supposed to be picking up trash.
ISSUE 4: FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE-GATE! While it was not Andy Boy who allegedly bungled his own financial disclosure statement, he has shown 100% support for da guy who did it - his current right hand man, Lyin' Ryan. This could potentially open da door for da old "cronyism" claim from Beevis and his running mate what's his name - or, at least it should if they were actually campaigning.
ISSUE 5: SURPRISES! Three questions you will need to ask yourself over da next 30 days - (1) What will da silver haired guy with da silver shovel dig up on da GOP'ers, now that da alliance is over and he has da green light to farm for clues, (2) What will da Queen say during a Manalapan Township Meeting that will make news, and (3) what legal maneuver does da Mosked Man have up his sleeve, and will he be rolling up his sleeves and become part of this election process?
DaTruth is, these two darlings of da Yorktowne Club will win because GOP'ers have gained strength in da town and county, and even if they both moved to Freehold next week (no pun intended) they'd both still win. You have to question though what their platform says, or especially what it doesn't say. Also you must question Manalapan's financial picture. From what our embedded Cadre sources are saying, apparently they will be.
As for da alleged Democrat candidates for da Manalapan Township Committee Rocky & Bullwinkle or da unknown candidates, who some that comment on our blog have nicknamed "Beevis and Butthead," da only thing daTruthSquad only knows for certain that they are running for office -- Because They Care -- because that's what their lawn signs say!
And that's daTruth.

A September BaconHead With A Side Order of "Bean"
As you may have seen in da comments section of this blog, there was a note from fine American Art Gallagher regarding an attack on his blog, MoreMonmouthMusings.
Now, in our great nation we great Americans have da right to do some pretty unbelievable things. One of those things is da freedom to be able to think for ourselves. Another is to actually stand by and even show support for a political party or a candidate for political office. No laws broken here - just facts from our founding fathers.
Senor Gallagher has that right. However, since he is not a "newspaper man," then there may be a small fringe out there that for some strange and potentially possibly personal reasons who don't believe he has that right - and maybe for a reason you might not think.
Recently, Mr. Gallagher and his fine and upstanding blog came under attack by former Snoozer editor, or as some call it, coupon weekly's Greg "Bozo" Bean. As MoreMonmouthMusings wrote on his blog, "The threats are real, only if you believe the convoluted logic of former Greater Media editor Greg Bean who awakened out of his semi-retirement to write a scathing column about me, this blog, our anonymous contributor Abram N. Spangel, and GOP 12th district congressional candidate Scott Sipprelle. I don’t know what it is with those Greater Media has beens, but Greg Bean and Kathy Baratta sure are obsessed with this blog."
Adding to this, "Has-Bean" made contact with MMM, and according to MMM said, "I am truly disgusted by it, and by you. Until today, I had some respect for your views, but that’s completely out the window. This is lower than daTruth Squad’s nutty (expletive), and that’s saying something."
Honestly, da rantings and ravings of "Has-Bean" are about as important to daTruthSquad as whether our favorite ice cream place on Business Route 33 has 31 or 32 flavors - but he does have da same rights as all of us to speak what he believes, thanks to da very First Amendment Manalapan lawyers tried to destroy. We believe it's something deeper. Now, if daTruthSquad can theorize, maybe there's a very good reason that they don't like MoreMonmouthMusings, or this blog either.
Here's daTruthSquad's theory:
Before ad advent of things like personal computers, smartphones, and basically any technology and da blogisphere after 2002, we only had newspapers to tell us things. We took their word to be true, because there was no real way to prove otherwise, and they cornered da market on local information. Then as these "newspapermen" watched in horror, along came blogging.
All of a sudden, proud newspaper folks now had something they never had before -- direct and almost instant competition. We didn't have to wait one week like a weekly coupon clipper does. We were instantaneous. All of a sudden, bloggers were breaking da news of da day faster than da newspapers could keep up. Was it "Has-Bean" or a blogger named Drudge who broke da Monica Lewinsky story? Was it "Has-Bean" or daTruthSquad who broke da whole "Because I Hate Italians" affair? Was it "Has-Bean" or daTruthSquad who showed everyone exactly what da whole "Da Township of Manalapan vs Da Mosked Man" lawsuit was all about? And, in some cases, proving that in some cases some newspapers may have had agendas.
Now, to be fair, someone like former Snoozer editor "Has-Bean" has da absolute right to say this blog is "Bull-@#$%", because much like we can nickname him "Has-Bean" we believe in da First Amendment. Everybody, including "Has-Bean" has da right to their opinions and beliefs, and we will not take away "Has-Bean's right to his opinions. That would be against what our Founding Fathers stood for when a number of them were anonymous bloggers of their day. "Has-Bean" has said many unusual things about this blog, as claiming once that what is written here "pulls da wings off flies" and that somehow we are a "dry gulcher." We could question what that meant, however those comments are so outwardly bizarre and we don't even have da first clue as to what he meant, so why bother.
What we do know is that this blog is actually indebted to "Has-Bean," since it was in one of his somewhat bizarre rants and off-on-a-tangent hysterics about this blog that we give him credit for inventing da word "BaconHead," a word that cannot even be found in da Webster's dictionary. Much like MoreMonmouthMusings, we also know that BaconHead winners "Has-Bean" and his former cohort Kathy Barratta for some strange and unknown reason seems to have a slight bit of disdain for this blog, and apparently they don't care much for MoreMonmouthMusings too.
And, to be fair, they have da right our Founding Fathers gave us to not like this blog or any other. However, from a purely psychological standpoint, one might think that they may think they are bigger and better than bloggers, because they use actual paper and maybe even typewriters to write what they wrote, and we bloggers use cyberspace?
Then, of course, there's da anonymity factor. As we learned in 2007 when da Manalapan Township Committee and their Manalapan Legal Dream Team attempted to sue this blog for what it was writing, a move that garnered worldwide scorn and outrage and even set a lstate and national legal precedent -- all while costing Manalapan taxpayers $$$$$$$, anonymity was not only upheld, those who tried to take it away were held to ridicule. And, lets not forget one of those, along with da Manalapan Legal Dream Team who wanted to remove da First Amendment-protected anonymity was "Has-Bean."
Sometimes, some people forget there were great patriots who blogged and wrote anonymously. People like Supreme Court Justice John Jay, founding fathers like Alexander Hamilton and Ben Franklin, folks that maybe "Has-Bean" might consider da "dry gulchers" of their day, and even a fine upstanding Monmouth County guy like Art Gallagher who rests on his shoulders da responsibility to tell daTruth and tell things like it is. All of their sacrifices and hard work and dedication to daTruth is what keeps daTruthSquad going - and we could not be here without them.
DaTruth is, despite what some who wear those funny paper newspaper hats might think, blogging is now not just on-par with newspapers, in some cases we in da blogisphere have pushed beyond paper pushers and maybe even dare we say have pushed beyond weekly coupon shoppers like da Snoozer. While we don't know da exact number of MoreMonmouthMusings readers, we know that number is quite large - and we also know statistically that daTruthSquad does pretty well too -- and our blogs don't litter driveways, get caught in da blades of lawnmowers or get shredded by snowblowers or just turn to mush on wet lawns.
This, of course, brings us to da September BaconHead Award.
Like we said before, anybody can be a blogger and blogs are everywhere. In fact, during a recent meeting in Manalapan of GOP'er candidates last week at da Monmouth County Library, at least three bloggers were in attendance. Two of them have blogs, or claim they do on their campaign website - Andy Boy & Jordan "Stu." Da other, of course, was daTruthSquad who was also in da County Library in a quiet and unassuming way milling about room and striking up a chat with some people in attendance, and we must admit there were a lot of people there.
Da BaconHead Award was created, ironically, to highlight da blunders or bizarre behavior or actions or statements of people who stick their foot deep into da hole of "duh." Many great Americans have won this award, from "Has-Bean" to da Queen to even former Governor Con-Zine, and it doesn't take someone with or without a brainpan to know why.
In this particular case, as MoreMonmouthMusings so eloquently pointed out, "That's why Greg Bean is not fair and biased. He's just biased, but tries to create da illusion that he's not. He's unfair and biased, like so many others in da media." Our friend and fellow blogger Art Gallagher has that right to make that statement. Honest Art also said, "I don't know if Bean really champions infanticide." If he does or not we don't care. That's up to him, which brings us up to this important point.
In this great nation of ours, we have da right to think and believe many things. We can believe in infanticide if we so desire, or -gasp - even decide to trust da blogisphere over coupon clipping weekly so-called newspapers. And, while we can't scream "fire" in a crowded theater, we can blog. DaTruthSquad has always had this underlying suspicion that folks like "Has-Bean" don't like bloggers because we do something that he does - write an "editorial" of da events of life. Are we stepping on "Has-Bean's" toes? Who is to say. However, you have to admit it makes a great theory.
DaTruth is, if Has-Bean wants to have only one source of information that people must and should read, then it's a sad assessment but he may be living in da wrong country. Here in da great US of A, we have this little thing that da Founding Fathers thought of called da First Amendment, freedom of choice, liberty, and yes - hard to believe - but we even have da right to read and dare we say - even write blogs! If Kommissar Has-Bean wants people to read his and only his scribings, then maybe he should consider a change of address, such as buying a new home on Barratta Alley" at Ahmadinejad-acres" in Tehran, or considering a job with da government press in North Korea. There he can guarantee he will have no other opinions getting in da way of his. In this nation, we have da right to disagree with opinions, and yes even blog about them, without da fear of being locked away eating half-cooked rice with da occasional luke-warm pumpkin soup in a North Korean labor camp.
So, for thinking that anonymous bloggers such as Abram N. Spanel, daTruthSquad and alike aren't deserving to share da same oxygen as a "paper boy," and maybe for even thinking that what eventually winds up in his bathroom's U-bend isn't all that odiferous, while we don't have any brain pans available, we do have a supply of BaconHead Awards --- and Greggo "Has-Bean" Bean, you sir are da proud recipient of da September award --- and we suspect there's probably more than enough room on your award wall to hang one of these.
And that's daTruth.
Now, in our great nation we great Americans have da right to do some pretty unbelievable things. One of those things is da freedom to be able to think for ourselves. Another is to actually stand by and even show support for a political party or a candidate for political office. No laws broken here - just facts from our founding fathers.

Will da Manalapan Democrat Candidates Please Stand Up
At one of our recent TruthTeller Pizza and Pasta get togethers, one of our TruthTellers asked a question that left us all puzzled. Da Question was - Who is running against da Yorktowne Club darlings?
We started looking at each other a bit perplexed. We weren't sure at first, but it wasn't until we looked back at the unofficial Monmouth County election records from June that we found these two guys actually won an election, albeit unopposed. We decided to look into their campaign further, and here's what we found.
ISSUE 1: CAMPAIGN WEBSITE. After an exhausting search of a number of internet search engines, we couldn't find any campaign website for the unknown candidates. Their GOP'er challengers Andy Boy and Jordan "Stu" Maskowitz have one. Theirs has pictures and alleged facts and everything. As for da unknown Democratic candidates - Nothing. No websiteto be found, no platform to be found, no nothing to be found. Whatever their "message" is, it's apparently not getting out through the worldwide web.
ISSUE 2: DEMOCRATIC PARTY WEBSITE: An internet search did uncover da website for da Manalapan democrats. We're happy to tell you that indeed da Manalapan Democratic Party has a website. Da bad news, it brings you directly to a very nice smiling picture of former Manalapan Township Committeeman and Mayor Commissar Klauber! Apparently, nobody told them they may want to update that site, especially since nearly 11 months ago, their candidate Commissar lost that election!
ISSUE 3: WHO ARE THESE GUYS: We had to do some digging, but we did determine that da two unknown candidates actually live in Manalapan (unlike questions raised in two other recent elections). While we wouldn't know them if we tripped over them, we are going to give them da benefit of da doubt that they actually know they are running against da GOP'ers. As for their names, some people who comment on this blog have affectionately began referring to them as "Beevis and Butthead." Until they solve da perils of Issue #4, then we'll either refer to them as da mythical cartoon characters or just as "Da Unknown Candidates."
ISSUE 4: ARE THEY CAMPAIGNING? Your guess is as good as ours.
ISSUE 5: THROUGH DONATIONS, CAN THEY AFFORD CAB FARE TO OLD BRIDGE? According to da latest ELEC report for candidate "Beevis", he placed "-0-" in da boxes for "Total Contributions" and "Total Expenditures" in one report, and in another report, admitted to $1,750.00 in "Total Contributions." We also uncovered that $1,500 came via a single check from the "Manalapan Democrats." As for candidate "Butthead," he also had one ELEC report where he said he raised -0- to date, but a subsequent report showed he was able to scratch together $2,000. However, $1,500 of that money also came from one check from da "Manalapan Democrats." Then another subsequent report shows that figure was raised to $3,500.00, but also included a campaign payment of $1312.50 for "signage," paid to someone who appears to have da same name as their party boss.
So da good news is they have cab fare. Da bad news is a big majority of that $$$$ came from da local party and not from da public. Da worse news is both Jordan "Stu" and Andy Boy both each has raised more $$$$$$, and their reports are nicely typed.
ISSUE 6: ELEC REPORTS: Apparently they learned from a certain 2006 candidate that those records probably should be filed. They seem to be up to date, so they get brownie points for following da rules. We will not take off any points for handwriting.
DaTruth is, this election was expected to be fairly quiet anyway, but that would favor da GOP'ers due to da wave of GOP-ness going on in da county. To be fair, one has to remember these candidates were chosen when there was an unwritten alliance in place and da Queen and Mayor Andy Boy were chummy. Unfortunately for da Queen and da Capo di Tutti Capi, that alliance rug was pulled out from under them after da fact, leaving their unknown and apparently underfunded candidates according to da ELEC reports up against da darlings of da Yorktowne Club.
Is it safe to say this could turn out to be a very one-sided election, and potentially a landslide win for da GOP'ers? Da answer to that is --- unless da "Spectacularly Unknown Candidates" actually become candidates and make some noise. Even da Manalapan Democrats website has no info about them as of this date - just about their 2009 candidate - and he lost!
Honestly, we're not even sure if they are going to put up a fight, or even some token resistance. So, in order to make this a more lively election campaign, daTruthSquad is going to go out on a limb here and make a friendly wager with da Unknown Candidates and da Cadre too.
Ready ---
If both da Manalapan Democrat Unknown Candidates defeat both of da Manalapan GOP'ers, then daTruthSquad vows not to blog at all about Manalapan for all of 2011 - one full year - 365 days!
If either "Beevis or Butthead" as some people call them beat current Mayor Andy Boy, then daTruthSquad will not blog about Manalapan for six months!
Knowing da love, admiration, and respect da members of da Cadre show daTruthSquad, then if this friendly wager doesn't get them to actively campaign and try to make an actual election out of this, then nothing will.
Remember, members of da Cadre, if both da Manalapan Democrat Unknown Candidates defeat both of da Manalapan GOP'ers, then daTruthSquad vows not to blog al all about Manalapan for one year! If either "Beevis or Butthead" beat current Mayor Andy Boy, then daTruthSquad will not blog about Manalapan for six months!
Da next move, of course, is up to da Cadre and their candidates. All of a sudden, da stakes for their candidates, and their Queen, just got a whole lot bigger!
And that's daTruth.
We started looking at each other a bit perplexed. We weren't sure at first, but it wasn't until we looked back at the unofficial Monmouth County election records from June that we found these two guys actually won an election, albeit unopposed. We decided to look into their campaign further, and here's what we found.
ISSUE 1: CAMPAIGN WEBSITE. After an exhausting search of a number of internet search engines, we couldn't find any campaign website for the unknown candidates. Their GOP'er challengers Andy Boy and Jordan "Stu" Maskowitz have one. Theirs has pictures and alleged facts and everything. As for da unknown Democratic candidates - Nothing. No websiteto be found, no platform to be found, no nothing to be found. Whatever their "message" is, it's apparently not getting out through the worldwide web.
ISSUE 2: DEMOCRATIC PARTY WEBSITE: An internet search did uncover da website for da Manalapan democrats. We're happy to tell you that indeed da Manalapan Democratic Party has a website. Da bad news, it brings you directly to a very nice smiling picture of former Manalapan Township Committeeman and Mayor Commissar Klauber! Apparently, nobody told them they may want to update that site, especially since nearly 11 months ago, their candidate Commissar lost that election!
ISSUE 3: WHO ARE THESE GUYS: We had to do some digging, but we did determine that da two unknown candidates actually live in Manalapan (unlike questions raised in two other recent elections). While we wouldn't know them if we tripped over them, we are going to give them da benefit of da doubt that they actually know they are running against da GOP'ers. As for their names, some people who comment on this blog have affectionately began referring to them as "Beevis and Butthead." Until they solve da perils of Issue #4, then we'll either refer to them as da mythical cartoon characters or just as "Da Unknown Candidates."
ISSUE 4: ARE THEY CAMPAIGNING? Your guess is as good as ours.
ISSUE 5: THROUGH DONATIONS, CAN THEY AFFORD CAB FARE TO OLD BRIDGE? According to da latest ELEC report for candidate "Beevis", he placed "-0-" in da boxes for "Total Contributions" and "Total Expenditures" in one report, and in another report, admitted to $1,750.00 in "Total Contributions." We also uncovered that $1,500 came via a single check from the "Manalapan Democrats." As for candidate "Butthead," he also had one ELEC report where he said he raised -0- to date, but a subsequent report showed he was able to scratch together $2,000. However, $1,500 of that money also came from one check from da "Manalapan Democrats." Then another subsequent report shows that figure was raised to $3,500.00, but also included a campaign payment of $1312.50 for "signage," paid to someone who appears to have da same name as their party boss.
So da good news is they have cab fare. Da bad news is a big majority of that $$$$ came from da local party and not from da public. Da worse news is both Jordan "Stu" and Andy Boy both each has raised more $$$$$$, and their reports are nicely typed.
ISSUE 6: ELEC REPORTS: Apparently they learned from a certain 2006 candidate that those records probably should be filed. They seem to be up to date, so they get brownie points for following da rules. We will not take off any points for handwriting.
DaTruth is, this election was expected to be fairly quiet anyway, but that would favor da GOP'ers due to da wave of GOP-ness going on in da county. To be fair, one has to remember these candidates were chosen when there was an unwritten alliance in place and da Queen and Mayor Andy Boy were chummy. Unfortunately for da Queen and da Capo di Tutti Capi, that alliance rug was pulled out from under them after da fact, leaving their unknown and apparently underfunded candidates according to da ELEC reports up against da darlings of da Yorktowne Club.
Is it safe to say this could turn out to be a very one-sided election, and potentially a landslide win for da GOP'ers? Da answer to that is --- unless da "Spectacularly Unknown Candidates" actually become candidates and make some noise. Even da Manalapan Democrats website has no info about them as of this date - just about their 2009 candidate - and he lost!
Honestly, we're not even sure if they are going to put up a fight, or even some token resistance. So, in order to make this a more lively election campaign, daTruthSquad is going to go out on a limb here and make a friendly wager with da Unknown Candidates and da Cadre too.
Ready ---
If both da Manalapan Democrat Unknown Candidates defeat both of da Manalapan GOP'ers, then daTruthSquad vows not to blog at all about Manalapan for all of 2011 - one full year - 365 days!
If either "Beevis or Butthead" as some people call them beat current Mayor Andy Boy, then daTruthSquad will not blog about Manalapan for six months!
Knowing da love, admiration, and respect da members of da Cadre show daTruthSquad, then if this friendly wager doesn't get them to actively campaign and try to make an actual election out of this, then nothing will.
Remember, members of da Cadre, if both da Manalapan Democrat Unknown Candidates defeat both of da Manalapan GOP'ers, then daTruthSquad vows not to blog al all about Manalapan for one year! If either "Beevis or Butthead" beat current Mayor Andy Boy, then daTruthSquad will not blog about Manalapan for six months!
Da next move, of course, is up to da Cadre and their candidates. All of a sudden, da stakes for their candidates, and their Queen, just got a whole lot bigger!
And that's daTruth.

Manalapan Democrats Fire da First Salvo in Da Election of 2010
You knew that da Manalapan Democrats had something up their sleeve. Now we know what it is. Tactic #1 - Show GOP'ers break da rules! Or, "Find Da Oldest Dirt You Can Find!"
Even though they won da election of 2006, da Manalapan Democratic leadership led by da Capo di Tutti Capi, da Boss of all Bosses Gerry "One Bourbon, One Shot & One Beer" Ward hasn't forgotten alleged improprieties they believe were allegedly orchestrated during da election by Manalapan GOP'ers and their then-candidate Little Nikki.
Now, nearly 4 years later, da Capo has fired da first shot.
Da Manalapan Democrats have filed a complaint with ELEC, saying da Manalapan GOP'ers broke da election rules on more than one front. Da Asbury Park Press, not da local Snoozepaper, got da news.
Da newspaper says that:
http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2010100907058
ISSUE 1: "Among the charges are that Pezzullo failed to report a $500 contribution made in September 2006 from the law offices of Cleary, Alfieri, Jones & Hoyle, now Cleary, Alfieri and Jones of Matawan. The firm's partners include politically connected attorneys Salvatore Alfieri, a former Marlboro Republican County Committee Chairman, and James Cleary, a former attorney for Monmouth County and the Western Monmouth Utilities Authority."
ISSUE 2: "Pezzullo never reported the address or reason a check for $1,708 from her general election campaign account was made out to Martin Mabe of Manalapan" who was her alleged campaign manager.
However, this may not be all. DaTruthSquad has heard from an embedded source within da Cadre that da Manalapan Democrats also questioned who paid for a plane that had a banner attached to it on election day. They were also not impressed with some responses that Little Nikki gave on some of their questions, and possibly unanswered questions.
Here's what daTruthSquad knows:
1. There are open questions as to who was da actual treasurer of da Little Nikki campaign. It could be possible that Little Nikki may not have known who was doing what behind da scenes. Regardless, as da "name" on da candidate form, that should not excuse her from not knowing.
2. There are also open questions as to who was da actual campaign manager. Da name listed on forms that daTruthSquad saw through da complaint was Martin Mabe. However, was he really in charge of da campaign? There are some who believe that he may have been da "MINO" - "manager in name only." That is a question nobody really knows da answer to, but it appears da Capo may try to use this in some way.
3. Why bring da complaint now - 4 years later when many people wouldn't know who or what a "Nikki Pezzullo" is?
DaTruth to Question 3 is simple. During 2007, 2008 and 2009, da theory that there was an unwritten alliance becomes more clear. Why pick a fight with da guy who brought da pizza to da pizza and beer party? Da losers of those election years had about as much of a chance of winning as a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest. However, since da Manalapan Democrats were butt-kicked out of da alliance by Team Andy Boy and his handlers, da gloves are off and now, we see three plus years after da fact, da dust was blown off this complaint and now it becomes news in da newspaper - and here on daTruthSquad - which it seems is what da Cadre really wants.
Next question - will this matter?
DaTruth is, by itself, this news is about important as finding out Governor Christie has a weight issue, or that New Jersey borders da Atlantic Ocean. However, when you have a Capo and a Queen who most likely feel betrayed by Team Andy Boy and his GOP handlers, and da Manalapan Democrats who were in alliance-mode selected two guys to run against Andy boy who we wouldn't know if we tripped over them, it means da Manalapan Democrats need to make a political case that da GOP'ers are just a bunch of good old boys who never met a rule they didn't break. It seems like their plan will begin here, with a candidate who ran during da middle of George Bush's second term.
Now, while da Little Nikki campaign appears at least for now to have nothing to do with Mayor Andy Boy, it appears that da Cadre plan here may be to tie in one of Mayor Andy Boy's handlers. A common link between da Little Nikki campaign and Mayor Andy Boy is da Manalapan GOP'er Grand Poobah, Steve "Iron Girth" McEnery. Even though Little Nikki, according to daTruthSquad sources has had nothing to do with da Manalapan GOP since after da election of 2006, Iron Girth is a link between both candidates whose both presence and girth cannot be ignored.
What will they dredge up next?
DaTruth here is, anyone who knows da Queen and da Capo well know they don't use a rest room without a plan. First, you had da silver haired guy with da silver shovel dig up startling news about Manalapan Township Committee GOP'er "Lyin" Ryan Green's missing information on his financial disclosure form. "Financial Disclosure-Gate" was a black eye to both Green and Andy Boy who supported him. If you're into betting, you'd have to wager that da Democrats will again send their shovel guy up with more questions to ask.
Why are they doing this?
DaTruth is, da Manalapan Democrats have no choice. They are facing a current two-time Republican mayor along with da darling of da Yorktowne Club with two Democrat guys that you wouldn't know if you were sitting on their laps at da Olde Silver Tavern. They are so unknown that someone in our forum recently nicknamed them "Beevis and Butthead." Nobody knows who they are, where they live, what they do. Whoever these "Unknown Candidates" are, they have to work 10 times harder because they have no name recognition, da Yorktowne Club is backing da GOP'ers, and da Capo and his leaders have an ax to grind against those who pulled da alliance rug out from under them. So, a negative campaign is coming soon to Manalapan.
DaTruth is, this was not unexpected. We saw this coming after da alliance fell to dust and left da Queen on da Manalapan Township Committee island by herself. Da busting up of da allliance made da Capo look like an amateur, and left da Queen without any defenses on da governing body. Now, da only thing they have before da Queen's election campaign next year is to damage any way they can da GOP'ers campaign this year - which apparently includes da perception campaign launched by da Manalapan Democrats that da Manalapan GOP'ers somehow are rulebreakers.
Unfortunately for da Manalapan Democrats, their plan for Kingdom domination starts with nearly 4 year old information that people most likely won't care about. Where will it go from here -- wait for da next Manalapan Township Committee meeting --- if that one isn't canceled too like last week's.
We'll know more during da open public sesson.
And that's daTruth.

A BaconHead You Can't Blame On Someone Else
Those who have commented on da most recent daTruthSquad blog have spoken, and their words have been heard. It has become abundantly clear that not only has da alliance between da Manalapan Democrats and GOP'ers has folded like a cheap suit - at da hands of da GOP'ers who not only dumped da Queen at da side of da road with no cab fare, but also made da Capo di Tutti Capi, da boss of all bosses Gerry "One Bourbon, One Shot & One Beer" Ward look like even more of an amateur leader than Adam "PuPu"Puharic was when he almost ran da Monmouth GOP'ers into da ground.
Here are some of da comments left by some of our faithful TruthTellers:
1. "What a total disgrace Green turned out to be. Let's see what other info they didn't mention as Mayor Spodak looks further into Green's and his wife's closet. Come clean Green!"
2. "You say "The fact that Ryan Green's wife provides for his Health Care benefits does not matter." It does matter Ryan Green tried to mislead the public with a political stunt that backfired on him, sorry his integrity is now gone. A Proud Manalapan Republican."
3. "Did he or didn't he disclose the fact that he was getting free health care from the State of NJ from his wife's plan, during the time he was demonizing Roth for choosing to take her Health Care from the Township ? if so..he is a phoney..plain and simple.. And since when is it the Clerk's job to make sure that he fills a form out correctly ? is he an educated adult or a kindergarten student. Is he reviewing Township documents, contracts etc..God help us."
4. "Unless the township hired Madaam Cleo as their Clerk, how would she know what his personal information is ? Thats why it's called a disclosure form, you need to enter personal information how the heck is the Clerk supposed to know he already has free health care ? Don't blame the little people for his Big Oops."
5. "Good that Spodak exposed the sneakiness of Big Oops Green. They should have run Joey D who wouldn't be sneaky in filling out forms. They really messed up running Big oops Green now how can anyone trust him? Joey D you can trust. Big oops was a big mistake."
6. "If Ryan Green is to stupid to fill out his OWN important documents how can the residents of Manalapan trust him with township business? He was clearly a jackass for blaming the Manalapan Township clerk for his pre school I.Q. incompetence. I'm very disappointed to learn this and now he has no choice but to resign. He tried to mislead the residents and blamed a hard working public servant for his own non disclosure. "Lyin Ryan" I agree with everyone else and should step down."
We think you get da idea here. DaTruth is, Ryan "Big OOPS" Green making a mistake on his financial disclosure form isn't earth-shattering and isn't something that he should have to resign over - and we will not demand his resignation. Everybody makes mistakes, even lawyers, and we should know. However, as someone who works in da education field, what kind of role model are you when you make a mistake, and blame it on a senior citizen clerk who just retired and wasn't even there to defend herself -- and -- more important -- it wasn't even her job to know his personal finances or even go over his legal documents!
This is very simple - you make a mistake, cowboy up and admit you made a mistake. It should not have to take a silver-haired former mayor with a silver shovel to dig this up and call you out on it, and then instead of thanking that senior citizen, you blame another senior citizen for your mistakes that you still haven't fully owned up to.
To be fair, in his defense, maybe Big OOPS Ryan is living in "Green-land?" How was it da fault of da former Township Clerk to know what your financial situation is? Is it da fault of your accountant if you get a speeding ticket? If your child skins their knee at a playground, is that da fault of your veterinerian?
If anything, his financial disclosure mea culpa has only made da situation worse, but not just for him. By standing by his right-hand man, now Mayor Lord Andy Boy gets a front-row seat to Big OOPS's problems. And, with election day just over 60 days away, it is a possibility that Big OOPS's problems could become Andy Boy's problems.
Now, if this weren't a potential headache for Mayor Lord Andy Boy, another headache will be da Democrats. Considering how da alliance crumbled to dust, they are about as unhappy as a hen in a fox house. And, they have good reason to want to work harder than they ever have to derail Andy Boy's election hopes.
Now, of course there were other ways our August BaconHead Award winner could have handled this situation. With that in mind, here's daTruthSquad's Top-10 excuses that Ryan "Big OOPS" Green did not use in regards to his recent mea culpa:
10: "The dog ate my financial disclosure form."
9. "Oh, you mean the State of New Jersey is serious about this financial disclosure stuff?"
8. "Wait, Michelle Roth isn't the former Township Clerk? Did I blame the wrong person?"
7. "I knew I would be in trouble when I first put my financial disclosure form in my 50-gallon trash can and Waste Management orange-tagged my trash can and left the form in there."
6. "Damn rassin-frassin silver shovel carrying pain in my @#$%^& &$#!"
5. "If Mayor Spodak were a member of the Yorktowne Club this would never have happened."
4. "I should have taken da advice of my handlers and blamed Susan Cohen or daTruthSquad for all of this."
3. "No problem. I'll just have the Manalapan Legal Dream Team send out a subpoena and handle everything. They did such a great job in the Moskovitz lawsuit."
2. "Hopefully this won't come up when I run for President."
1. "Wow. I thought that members of the Manalapan Township Committee were legally allowed to break da rules."
And Andy Boy and "Come Clean" Green thought that Garbage-Gate was the worst thing they'd need to worry about.
DaTruth is, "Financial Disclosure-Gate" could become a big problem for Mayor Andy Boy's reelection bid. Hypothetically speaking, how will da fine folks at Covered Bridge feel when they are told by da Manalapan Democrats about a senior citizen retiring clerk being blamed for Big OOPS's big oops. Add this to da "Pearl Harbor" job the GOP'ers did to the alliance with the Manalapan Democrats which caught them completely off guard, and the gloves will surely be coming off when the election battle really begins.
Da question is, with two candidates you wouldn't know if you tripped over them, and not much time to get their campaign even started, how will da Manalapan Democrats generate any buzz for their candidates and attempt to derail Mayor Andy Boy's "shoo-in" election chances?
And, what a great lesson someone who works in the public education field (at taxpayer expense) is giving da youth of our great nation --- It's OK to make a mistake, but if you do, be sure to blame it on some "old" person who just retired and is not there to defend themselves. Your parents must be proud.
So, congratulations - for you not only made a mistake on your financial disclosure form, for which we would have given you a free pass on, but your "deflect & accuse" put the blame on a senior citizen clerk who just retired and wasn't even there to defend herself! You may have inadvertantly opened up a Pandora's Box of trouble for da guy on your left, Mayor Andy Boy. For reaching a new low and blaming a senior citizen for your own mistakes, da August winner of da coveted BaconHead Award is none other than Ryan "Big OOPS" (aka: "Lyin Ryan" and "Come Clean") Green!

BREAKING NEWS: "Disclosure-Gate" Is Da Latest Manalapan Town Hall Fiasco
DaTruthSquad must first admit that lately we have had some serious headaches that we almost had to seek out an expert physician. There were two reasons we didn't make that doctor's appointment - (1) We weren't sure whether our insurance was being picked up by a spouse that works for da state or by da township, and (2) we figured out da root cause of da headaches - unbelievably but true, daTruthSquad found ourselves in total agreement with da Queen on an issue for da first time since Truman was President!
It was daTruthSquad that first told our readers about da breakdown and da dissolving of da four year "alliance" between Mayor Andy Boy (Lord Lucas) and former Mayor da Queen, at da hands of Lord Lucas and his "Gray" handlers. We told you that da Queen would not go quietly into da night and allow this to go unpunished, especially during an election year where when da alliance was in play, da Democrats through their Capo di Tutti Capi put up two virtual unknowns to match up against da Yorktown Club's finest.
Remember, we told you this would happen!
Call this a "Spodak Moment" - In a stunning turn of events that da local snoozepaper has completely missed, da Queen, thanks to a silver tongued shovel toting card carrying Democrat has unearthed information that could play an embarrassing and significant role in da upcoming election - and we told you first this would happen.
In what was definitely "Must See Manalapan TV," Manalapan Committeeman Ryan "Big Oops" Green admitted before da Manalapan Township Committee and also to anyone in attendance or who was watching MTTV that he apparently botched his all-important financial disclosure form, a duty that all Manalapan Township Committee elected officials MUST submit!
In his own words, "Big Oops" said during da meeting, "A resident referenced my financial disclosure form. There was an oversight on my form. When I originally submitted the form at the request of the township clerk I asked it be glanced over to make sure it was in compliance. Turns out it wasn't. My wife's financial info was also not on there. As soon as it was brought to my attention I updated the form and resubmitted it."
And you thought crossing Route 9 (a state-maintained highway despite da thoughts of some on da Manalapan Township Committee) against da traffic light was bad!
But wait TruthTellers - it get's worse! Let's delve into what "Big Oops" said.
ISSUE 1: "There was an oversight on my form"
What "Big Oops" fails to tell us was exactly what da "oversight" was. Was it one thing? Did he not sign it? Did it involve a Swiss Bank account? Were there donations to da "Obama-Biden 2008 Campaign?"
ISSUE 2: "When I originally submitted the form at the request of the township clerk I asked it be glanced over to make sure it was in compliance"
When "Big Oops" made his mea culpa, he didn't blame himself, or gremlins, or da spirit of his late Uncle Truthie. He instead blamed da fact he left something off his disclosure statement on da Manalapan Township Clerk!
Oh, so let us get this straight --- in da eyes of at least one person, it's da job of da Manalapan Township Clerk to proofread all of our personal and private family documents for accuracy. Does this mean if daTruthSquad runs for Manalapan Township Committee next year and wins, then will it be da job of da Manalapan Township Clerk to proofread this blog for spelling and grammer errors?
What's next -- will it become da job of da Manalapan Township Clerk to give committeepeople haircuts so they look good on MTTV? Is it da job of da Manalapan Township Clerk to apply da Queen's makeup before meetings too? Will she soon be giving Mayor Andy Boy manicures and pedicures before each meeting?
If we follow Ryan "Big Oops" Green's logic, then one can assume that it will become da job of Tara Tiara to take out da Town Hall building trash. Even worse, da Town Clerk wasn't even at da meeting to defend herself! So, in effect, he blamed someone who cannot defend herself and most likely never saw this one coming.
And, by da way, how is da Manalapan Township Clerk supposed to know about intimate details about da financial well-being of one "Big Oops?"
ISSUE 3: "My wife's financial info was also not on there"
Is this something else he may or may not have left off his financial disclosure form? Does she have offshore accounts? His answer, to be fair, obviously adds more questions to what turned into a very suspect mea culpa.
DaTruth is, blaming da Clerk for his own obvious mistake was not only a mistake, it was also childish and completely 1000% disingenuous, and we can guarantee could become political fodder that can be used against Mayor Andy Boy and his running mate, Jordan "Stu" Maskowitz. Da reason -- if "Big Oops" made a big mistake on this one issue, what else in his past has he not disclosed?
What ever happened to "TRANSPARANCY IN GOVERNMENT?"
And, you know da silver haired silver shovel guy won't be da only one who will be looking to see if "Big Oops" didn't forget anything else he may or may not have disclosed.
Our embedded sources within da Cadre believe this is not da first thing that could come back to haunt da GOP'ers that will have "Big Oops's" name on it. We believe something big will happen during one of da September meetings that will be raised by da Queen or by someone during da open public session that could become very newsworthy.
And, apparently this wasn't all that "Big Oops" made a "Big Oops" on. He also was caught playing what one TruthTeller called "an elaborate Ponzi scheme" with da issue of health care.
Ryan "Big Oops" Green wanted to make health care an issue during a recent meeting. He wants to put a resolution forward that said in effect that Manalapan Township Committeepeople could have a paid salary, or health benefits paid by da taxpayer - but not both.
Of course, that sounds very positive and makes a lot of sense. Already, Farmer Don gets one perk but not da other. Deputy Mayor Susan Cohen refused health benefits when she first took office. Mayor Andy Boy gave up his stipend, but has health benefits. Da Queen gets both and will not give up anything. Now, that sounds like she wants her cake and eat it too. However, to be fair, you haven't heard da whole story.
You see, again to be fair, at least da Queen admits she enjoys taking sips from da public trough. It appears "Big Oops" wanders there in da dead of night when nobody can see.
Ryan "Big Oops" Green decided he too would make a political statement. He's keeping his stipend, but he says he will not have da taxpayers of Manalapan pay for his health benefits. Sounds great. You'd want to vote for a guy like that.
Only problem --- Big Oops says he will not have da taxpayers of Manalapan pay for his health benefits. However, you may not realize it --- BUT YOU ALREADY DO!
Da reason Big Oops can boast that he doesn't want YOU DA TAXPAYER of Manalapan to pay for his health benefits is because he gets his health benefits from his wife. She works for da state -- and gets state taxpayer paid-for health benefits that extend to him - da state plan is da very same plan Manalapan Township workers get - including "Big Oops.". Meaning ---- YOU ALREADY PAY FOR HIS AND HIS FAMILY'S HEALTH BENEFITS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ironically, it was da Queen herself who made that point clear during a recent Manalapan Township meeting, saying "he (Green) gets his state health benefits plan paid for by taxpayers!"
Meaning --- much like leaving something off his financial disclosure form, he tells da residents he didn't take state health benefits from da Township of Manalapan - because he already gets them free from da state!
And, adding insult to injury here, it was of all people da Queen herself who drove that nail into da pine box.
DaTruth is, this entire situation of "Disclosure-Gate" is something that has to make you seriously wonder about da honesty of not only "Big Oops," but also his handler, Mayor Andy Boy. Lord Lucas didn't come out against Big Oops, or say anything about it. His silence on da matter could be construed as an endorsement of Big Oops's actions. If that is da case, one might suspect da Manalapan Democrats could use this as political fodder - along with "Disclosure-Gate" in da upcoming election against Lord Lucas.
Da questions are - will they - and what else do they have up their collective sleeves? And, is this da only thing they believe they have on Big Oops?
And, you'll want to check out an upcoming issue of daTruthSquad, because we're researching what Lord Lucas and former President Bill Clinton may have in common, and if "Big Oops" will become Lord Lucas's "Waterloo."
And that's daTruth.
It was daTruthSquad that first told our readers about da breakdown and da dissolving of da four year "alliance" between Mayor Andy Boy (Lord Lucas) and former Mayor da Queen, at da hands of Lord Lucas and his "Gray" handlers. We told you that da Queen would not go quietly into da night and allow this to go unpunished, especially during an election year where when da alliance was in play, da Democrats through their Capo di Tutti Capi put up two virtual unknowns to match up against da Yorktown Club's finest.
Remember, we told you this would happen!
Call this a "Spodak Moment" - In a stunning turn of events that da local snoozepaper has completely missed, da Queen, thanks to a silver tongued shovel toting card carrying Democrat has unearthed information that could play an embarrassing and significant role in da upcoming election - and we told you first this would happen.
In what was definitely "Must See Manalapan TV," Manalapan Committeeman Ryan "Big Oops" Green admitted before da Manalapan Township Committee and also to anyone in attendance or who was watching MTTV that he apparently botched his all-important financial disclosure form, a duty that all Manalapan Township Committee elected officials MUST submit!
In his own words, "Big Oops" said during da meeting, "A resident referenced my financial disclosure form. There was an oversight on my form. When I originally submitted the form at the request of the township clerk I asked it be glanced over to make sure it was in compliance. Turns out it wasn't. My wife's financial info was also not on there. As soon as it was brought to my attention I updated the form and resubmitted it."
And you thought crossing Route 9 (a state-maintained highway despite da thoughts of some on da Manalapan Township Committee) against da traffic light was bad!
But wait TruthTellers - it get's worse! Let's delve into what "Big Oops" said.
ISSUE 1: "There was an oversight on my form"
What "Big Oops" fails to tell us was exactly what da "oversight" was. Was it one thing? Did he not sign it? Did it involve a Swiss Bank account? Were there donations to da "Obama-Biden 2008 Campaign?"
ISSUE 2: "When I originally submitted the form at the request of the township clerk I asked it be glanced over to make sure it was in compliance"
When "Big Oops" made his mea culpa, he didn't blame himself, or gremlins, or da spirit of his late Uncle Truthie. He instead blamed da fact he left something off his disclosure statement on da Manalapan Township Clerk!
Oh, so let us get this straight --- in da eyes of at least one person, it's da job of da Manalapan Township Clerk to proofread all of our personal and private family documents for accuracy. Does this mean if daTruthSquad runs for Manalapan Township Committee next year and wins, then will it be da job of da Manalapan Township Clerk to proofread this blog for spelling and grammer errors?
What's next -- will it become da job of da Manalapan Township Clerk to give committeepeople haircuts so they look good on MTTV? Is it da job of da Manalapan Township Clerk to apply da Queen's makeup before meetings too? Will she soon be giving Mayor Andy Boy manicures and pedicures before each meeting?
If we follow Ryan "Big Oops" Green's logic, then one can assume that it will become da job of Tara Tiara to take out da Town Hall building trash. Even worse, da Town Clerk wasn't even at da meeting to defend herself! So, in effect, he blamed someone who cannot defend herself and most likely never saw this one coming.
And, by da way, how is da Manalapan Township Clerk supposed to know about intimate details about da financial well-being of one "Big Oops?"
ISSUE 3: "My wife's financial info was also not on there"
Is this something else he may or may not have left off his financial disclosure form? Does she have offshore accounts? His answer, to be fair, obviously adds more questions to what turned into a very suspect mea culpa.
DaTruth is, blaming da Clerk for his own obvious mistake was not only a mistake, it was also childish and completely 1000% disingenuous, and we can guarantee could become political fodder that can be used against Mayor Andy Boy and his running mate, Jordan "Stu" Maskowitz. Da reason -- if "Big Oops" made a big mistake on this one issue, what else in his past has he not disclosed?
What ever happened to "TRANSPARANCY IN GOVERNMENT?"
And, you know da silver haired silver shovel guy won't be da only one who will be looking to see if "Big Oops" didn't forget anything else he may or may not have disclosed.
Our embedded sources within da Cadre believe this is not da first thing that could come back to haunt da GOP'ers that will have "Big Oops's" name on it. We believe something big will happen during one of da September meetings that will be raised by da Queen or by someone during da open public session that could become very newsworthy.
And, apparently this wasn't all that "Big Oops" made a "Big Oops" on. He also was caught playing what one TruthTeller called "an elaborate Ponzi scheme" with da issue of health care.
Ryan "Big Oops" Green wanted to make health care an issue during a recent meeting. He wants to put a resolution forward that said in effect that Manalapan Township Committeepeople could have a paid salary, or health benefits paid by da taxpayer - but not both.
Of course, that sounds very positive and makes a lot of sense. Already, Farmer Don gets one perk but not da other. Deputy Mayor Susan Cohen refused health benefits when she first took office. Mayor Andy Boy gave up his stipend, but has health benefits. Da Queen gets both and will not give up anything. Now, that sounds like she wants her cake and eat it too. However, to be fair, you haven't heard da whole story.
You see, again to be fair, at least da Queen admits she enjoys taking sips from da public trough. It appears "Big Oops" wanders there in da dead of night when nobody can see.

"Alliance" Battlelines are Being Drawn
While it seems very quiet on da "alliance" front, behind da scenes there's been some activity ever since da political marriage of Republican Andy Boy and Democrat da Queen was sent to divorce court.
DaTruthSquad's GOP'er sources check in and say that they're still celebrating New Years Day at GOP HQ. Not only is da GOP in Manalapan now in a position to gain a solid everybody-taking-orders-from-da-same-person majority, but they are now poised to gain a stranglehold on da Manalapan Township Committee. From what we can put together, there is da appearance that this may have been da long term plan all along.
Ironically, what it would take for da GOP'ers plan to work is someone who could be easily duped. They also needed someone who could control others, and maybe even be a "bad guy." They also needed someone who thirsted for power. Never in their wildest dreams did they think that person would be da Queen.
Or was it?
It was actually back in 2004 that da Manalapan GOP started to wonder if da late Joltin Joe was da kind of guy who could follow orders. They were right to realize he was not, because he was his own person and could not be placed under da thumb of anyone, much like his mentor, da Mosked Man.
After da GOP'ers gained power in 2005, da Cadre immediately went to work in ways of "dividing and conquering" da dynamic duo of Joltin Joe and Andy Boy. They were able to eventually divide da duo, and da alliance was born.
This leads us to what will happen next for da Manalapan Democrats who for da first time since da 1990's are now on da outside looking in. Da Andy Boy - Green Hornet duo is on da very same page, which is exactly da way their handlers want things. Their third wheel, Jordan "Stu" Maskowitz is a shoo-in to be elected, thanks to da Democrat's Capo di Tutti Capi, da Boss of all Bosses Gerry "One Bourbon - One Shot & One Beer" Ward putting up two virtually unknown candidates to take on a sitting mayor and a leader of da Manalapan Yorktowne Club. Then again, can you remember da resources da two GOP'ers da Grand Poobah put up against da Queen and Farmer Don received?
Outfoxed by, of all people, Andy Boy and his handlers, da big question now is what will da Capo do, and what will da Queen of Manalapan do to combat what is now turning into GOP dominance at their expense?
DaTruthSquad's embedded sources within da Cadre's walls have been working on this, and here's what we're seeing:
ISSUE 1: WHERE'S DA MESSENGER?
Without a certain former BaconHead Award-winning alleged "reporter" pushing da Snoozepaper's buttons, da Cadre's public relations machine is missing a few cogs. Actual real-life reporter Mark Rosman is not one to be duped into writing whatever, so that option is out. Da so-called "Hate" website is about six eggs short of a dozen, so even placing out those controversial lawn signs from a so-called "mysterious benefactor" didn't help grow da blog either - nor did trying to sell it last year. It seems da only way to make a statement may be during public sessions in Manalapan Town Hall meetings. Their best messenger is da former mayor known for his silver hair and silver shovel.
Could da guy with da shovel be da one to dig up dirt on Mayor Andy Boy??????
ISSUE 2: PUBLIC COMMENTS.
Da days of spending 20 or 30 minutes sitting at a table and taking aim at committeepeople is over. Da 5-minute rule is not only enforced, it is now gospel. Recently, a former mayor went up to ask questions, and da look on his face when he was told his 5 minutes of fame were up was priceless. If da Cadre is going to employ da same "divide & conquer" strategy, they'd better learn how to do it in less than 4 minutes.
ISSUE 3: DA QUEEN'S SUDDEN LOSS OF CLOUT.
Da Queen is da face of Manalapan Democrats, and she is also da face now of two well-known and polarizing lawsuits filed against Manalapan Township, one by da Mosked Man and da other by his client, highly decorated and popular Manalapan Police Chief Stu Brown. Thanks to da alliance, all of da Queen's allies became all of Andy Boy's alies, and now that he's holding all da cards and his side's power is on da rise, it leaves those "allies" deciding what side to be on in these tough economic times. For maybe da first time since she entered politics, da Queen may be on da outside looking in. And, if da unknown Democrats that da Capo has placed against Andy Boy and "Stu" Maskowitz lose, then da Manalapan GOP stands just one election away from an unstoppable 5-0 supermajority.
ISSUE 4: IS DA CAPO NOW POWERLESS?
When you have power-sharing, you at least still have power. When da other side Pearl Harbor's you, and makes enough inroads to swipe away enough allies to weaken your position, and da face of your party is facing legal issues from two highly publicized ongoing lawsuits, and, lets not forget, da issue that vaulted you into power - stopping da Village - is now not going to be stopped and your own party cast da deciding vote to approve it, well it appears that both credibility and power may be in short supply.
So, what is da Capo to do? One thing he doesn't want to do is think about this --- his GOP'er counterpart, Da Grand Poobah - got da better of him!
DaTruth is, da abrupt ending of da alliance has left da Manalapan Democrats more vulnerable than they could have ever imagined. If da GOP'ers emerge victorious this year, then what of political appointments, including those political supporters at da WMUA and their free health benefits? Committees within da township? Jobs like township attorney and others? Even Tara Tiara?
We are now just 90 days away from da election that could keep Andy Boy in power and guarantee him at least one more time as Manalapan's mayor. We could only guess that da Green Hornet wouldn't mind his picture on da mayor's wall of shame. This means that da Capo has just 90 days to find a way to get his base energized, get out da vote, and somehow with da GOP holding all da cards, make them look bad enough to get people to vote against da sitting Mayor and a big wheel in da now-popular Yorktowne Club.
While he's at it, maybe da Capo can also leap tall buildings in a single bound?
DaTruth is, whoever gave da order to end da alliance did so at da perfect time. There may not be enough time now for da Capo to mount any offense against da GOP and his new arch-nemesis, Andy Boy and his "Gray" handlers. What da Capo will need is a "scandal," however, he will need to find one or create one that doesn't touch anyone on his side of da political wall, and that could be tough.
What might da Cadre be planning? If anything, they are plotting and planning now. If they try anything, daTruthSquad believes it will happen in late-September or October, trying to impact da election.
As for what they are planning - daTruthSquad's embedded sources believe da Cadre's plan of attack wlll focus on health benefits da Green Hornet and Andy Boy receive. However, what we are hearing is it will not end there. While they are being very silent on this, it is believed they are working on something else that could impact Andy Boy's election chances. Da question is, can they find it, can they get their message out, and will it be enough?
Da Cadre could also be waiting for a bombshell expose courtesy of daTruthSquad that could blow da lid off da upcoming election. We'll let our embedded sources work on that. Until then, expect both sides to be operating silently during da dog days of summer, and even September too, unless da shovel guy digs up something.
And that's daTruth.
