Apologies, Apologies and Back to Work
It's back to the grind this Tuesday morning here at the Government Affairs desk. A fine summer weekend lasted a little longer than expected, and while we don't think anything pressing has been overlooked (as of yet), we ought to be acconuted for.
Further, we would like to extend to you our loyal readers the stolid promise that coverage will resume in its entirety - and with the normal and expected Prussian efficiency that has so far guided us in these endeavors - today, with probable postponement tomorrow for the celebration of our national overthrow of tyranny, the setting of our course towards a Manifest Destiny, the beginnings of this great Horatio Alger myth-making and the omnipresent American 'git 'er done' attitude so beautifully espoused by Toby Keith and every God-fearing backwards thinking redneck from Haddonfield to San Jacinto.
After that all-too-brief respite for Freedom, (with a special honor to be bestowed on recently commuted patriot, lying dog, and american hero I. Lewie Libby) the Government Affairs Desk will be up and running, as the fine weather and surf conditions down the shore allow, of course.

Gilmore makes big fireworks claims, local community rivals ask, "can he back them up?"
HAMILTON - Mayor Glen Gilmore may have set off a few too many fireworks with his recent claim that Hamilton Township will be hosting the "region's best independence celebration."
According to his press release, the Independence celebration to be held July 3rd in Veterans Park will feature the National Anthem and presentation of Colors at 7 p.m., an oldies cover band and, “a belly-full of summer food, a moon-bounce for the kids, and what I know will be the area’s biggest and best fireworks display to start at dusk.”
The Community Rivalry Desk has yet to ascertain comments from the other localities in the region, but we will be updating you, the loyal reader, as this crisis continues.
