Hundreds of law enforcement officers, friends and family pay their respects to 10-year officer

Hundreds of law enforcement officers paid their respects today to a fallen colleague, Ocean County Detective Tina Rambo.

Dear Rick: Thank you for showing me a different perspective regarding this story. Please take me at my word when I say that I mean no disrespect toward the late Det. Rambo. Seeing it through your view, I think that the story could and should remain for all to see. I am not the person to say when it should be taken down. I was wrong. Please accept my apology.   more ›

Slice of Life

What Would George Carlin Do?

Thinking of current events and remembering the five-year anniversary of my favorite comic's Atlantic City performance.

Some folks create hours-long playlists for a long trip. Me, I dig out George Carlin on audiobook and laugh the entire way to my destination. It’s hard for me to believe it’s been three years since George Carlin’s death. The brilliant, irreverent, mischievous and unabashed comic died June 2008. That’s because every time I listen, watch or read his routines these days, it is as though he’s satirizing current events. The jokes remain fresh, though Carlin’s catalog spans several decades. The barbs thrown at all sorts of systems — whether Carlin is mocking the political system, education system or whatnot — remain relevant. It could be any Congressman or priest that Carlin is talking about, he mentioned no specific names… why limit yourself, he…
