Hackensack, NJ Community Message Boards

I know it's hard for most people to understand how The Rag can be so obsessed with an election that's over and how they can be so heartless toward a beloved figure who passed away. Maybe I can help explain it. First of all, they don't get the concept of being loved and respected by other people. We're talking about Malcolm Borg here. Do you think that if he didn't have money, his family would even like him? So the disrespect is easy to figure out. About the election. Average Joe was right on with the Borg's Woods reference. After Borg tried to gut Borg's Woods to jam in a couple of hundred townhouses and got blocked by a group which Mayor Zisa was part of, he never stopped denigrating Hackensack and Mayor Zisa. Every time Zisa got re-elected, Borg got a little crazier. By the time this election came around, the Rag decided to become part of the campaign team of "Citizens that hate Zisa". When they got blown out in the election after The Rag's way-out-on-a-limb-as-far-as-you-go endorsement, Borg must have been bawling and stamping his feet like the kids who lose the T-Ball game. So he orders his prat boy, Mike Kelly, to get a few shots in concerning the "election results that The Rag just cannot accept." My favorite comment was the "16 years of uninspiring leadership and CIA-like secrecy." I guess that's the kind of government we like in Hackensack, Mikey, 'cause we're not smart like you. I won't even go into the rest of his tantrum column or his incredibly bizarre theories, I'll just leave Mikey and Malcolm with this advice: Malcolm, you're not going to have a lot of happy election nights in Hackensack because Hackensack voters apparently DON'T LISTEN TO YOU! Mikey, you can take the aluminum foil off your head. The space aliens have already taken over. 

I think that WestARick is on to something. If we vote here, can we save a trip to the polls tomorrow and go to the beach? I've been wrestling with this decision throughout the campaign and going back and forth in my mind. Do I vote for the 5 people who have never done anything for our community or the 5 who have sacrificed their time and effort over many years for our city. Oh, the confusion! I think I'll take a shot with the ones who have been involved in our city instead of the ones who appeared one day to tell us how lousy and corrupt our city is and that we should put them on the city council to fix it.                                                                                                                     #1.DeFalco, #2.Sasso,#3.Meneses,#4.Townes,#5Melfi

I think Pinkstreet was confused with "vote 6 to 10 and say amen."  It should be vote 6 to 10 for "grumpy old men."  Vote 1 to 5 for a council that's alive.
