Although I voted for him, I’m so over Gov. Phil Murphy. The only thing he seems to be any good at is showing up at COVID vaccine sites to offer awkward elbow bumps to the lucky few who are receiving shots.
His plan to distribute vaccines has been an epic fail. It was easier for me as a young man for me to acquire Grateful Dead and The Who tickets for the Capitol Theatre in Passaic than it is for me now, as an old man with cancer, to get a vaccine appointment.

Attorney General Gurbir Grewal filed criminal charges against three guards at Edna Mahan last week, men who were among two dozen who allegedly charged into a cell block after midnight at the state’s only prison for women, beat the inmates mercilessly, and then tried to cover it up by lying on their reports.
It’s a good start, but a tiny first step in addressing the horrifying violence that remains routine at this prison. The attack came nine months after the federal government issued a report describing the prison as essentially a rape camp, where brutality and sexual abuse went unchecked.
