		<title>New Jersey Deserves the Recognition &#8211; Why New Jersey Should Demand the Giants, Jets and Red Bulls be called NJ.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post came about because someone had commented on the New Jersey Freezes $10 million in Cultural Grants article and I felt that my reply was important enough to bear repeating in its own article.
What a bogus argument from someone who never let facts get in the way of a rant. Sports Franchises are named [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Jersey Freezes $10 million in Cultural Grants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The article below was in the Star Ledger today concerning the freezing of grant allocations to the arts organizations.  Now I can see Christie wanting to freeze all new expenditure prior to him taking office, basically he wants to keep the politicians hands out of the cookie jar creating even more of a mess than [...]]]></description>

		<title>When will Saturday Night Live Stop with the Outdated Lame New Jersey Jokes?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was posted on AboutNewJersey.com&#8217;s MySpace blog on May 14th, 2009.  I thought it would be good to repost it on our official blog, especially in light of  MTV&#8217;s so-called reality show &#8220;Jersey Shore&#8221;.

Once again New Jersey was the butt of Saturday Night Live&#8217;s Weekend Update jokes.
They made jokes regarding anything from the supposed smell [...]]]></description>

What is it about the negative media and constant negative erroneous stereotypes constantly being laid on New Jersey? From Saturday Night Live, to late night talk show hosts such as Conan O&#8217;Brien, to now MTV, New Jersey is under siege. Let me just say this right from the start [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Exporting of New Jersey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s amazing &#8211; people get upset and say stop the exporting of America.  The labor unions in particular are very supportive of this mantra.  However, when it comes to our own state &#8211; everyone is silent.  Of course most people don&#8217;t look at this particular issue as &#8220;Exporting of New Jersey&#8221;, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lakewood BlueClaws Soccer Night with the New Jersey Ironmen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night I decided to go to the BlueClaws game. I&#8217;m not sure how many games I have attended this year, but I do really enjoy going to the games. In 2006, the year they won the South Atlantic League Championship against the Augusta GreenJackets, I attended nearly all the games.  My cousin said [...]]]></description>
