Skip: If Mayor Sanders could grow a set of "balls", like Mayor Nagin, who called the President's hand, we may be able to save this city. If the City Manager, could join WITH the Mayor and the 2 called Asbury Partners hand, we could save the City. If the City of Asbury Park, could call the Governor's hand, Governor Shrek, as 101.5 calls him, build a fire under his butt, maybe, just maybe, Asbury Park can become the City WE want. If the other councilmen would get off their dead, greedy, asses, excluding, Ed and Jim Keady, maybe, just maybe the only 2 progressive councilmen could whip this town awake because it is clearly asleep! Asbury Partners is NOT our Partner! Just take the bridge to Interlaken, down Ocean Ave., genuflect as you pass Konvitz's house, the modest ranch that it IS, kiss his ring too, while you're at it and when you pass the WindMill, look to your right. It's the beginning of Condo City, smack on the oceanfront of what USED to be Long Branch! Yuppie City, it's become! God help us!
