Breakfast With Some Consequential WINNERS!

We Bet You NEVER Knew This . . .

This is fascinating! The North/South routes are odd numbered and increase in numbers running West to East. The East/West routes are even numbered and increase in numbers running South to North. Routes emanating from the major routes are similarly numbered. For example, routes branching from Route 95 are numbered 295, 495, etc. The whole thing was devised by President Dwight Eisenhower.

Just Because THEY Wouldn't Let You See It!

Why did Twitter quickly take down this video that I made on January 6th, and why isn’t the Unselect Committee of political hacks talking about it?

It Couldn't Happen To A 'Nicer' Guy . . .

Testa: The Dangers Of Legal Weed Are REAL!

In response to a story in Politico about a memo from the New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association warning members against off-duty recreational use of marijuana, New Jersey State Senator Michael Testa had the following comment:

“If the very people who enforce our laws in New Jersey are concerned about the many legal ramifications for recreational pot use by their members, it should give us all pause. This reckless and short-sighted law and Phil Murphy’s continuing ignorance about how our federal system of government works will likely cause an unsuspecting citizen to suffer real and long-lasting legal consequences. Federal law precludes a user of marijuana from owning a gun. That is something that the legalization proponents likely never considered.

“As an attorney who has represented law enforcement officers in the past, this warning to police is appropriate and warranted and each New Jerseyan should take note as well.”

Sen. Testa has served in his personal capacity as an attorney on the PBA Legal Protection Plan.

Politico reported last night that NJPBA President Pat Colligan told members in a memo that there are “too many unanswered questions from the state regarding the use of recreational cannabis by off-duty officers that could result in negative consequences.”

Colligan said in an interview that “if I was an active-duty officer that’s going to be in a patrol car the next day or in a prison cell block in a day or two, I would ask you to please wait. We’re not really taking a hard yes or no position. We’re just saying we don’t want anyone to be the test case. This is really murky ground. … Let’s be careful about it.”

“As we saw in the legislative debacle which unfolded with multiple votes on pot legalization, the Murphy crew and its enablers in the Legislature have opened another can of worms which will result in untold legal consequences for New Jerseyans,” said Testa.

Does She TRY To Sound Foolish, Or What?

Remembering Broadway's Boyishly Charming BOBBY!

On Broadway he was known simply as Bobby.

His impish, boyish charm captivated everyone and delighted packed houses for decades.

But behind the bright eyes, the dimples and the winning, gap-toothed smile there was also an accomplished actor -- a man who could play all types of roles, and did,

And damned if he didn't keep playing those roles right up until the end of his life. He had that sort of magical career where his work spoke as one whole cloth. And it was dazzling, sort of like the gypsy cape that Broadway troupers pass around on opening night.

But his journey on this planet was not without its struggles. Indeed, he had his share of failures, rejections and disappointments and he was a recovering alcoholic.

Robert "Bobby" Morse, the acclaimed, award-winning veteran stage, film, and TV actor is dead at 90. Morse was best known for the Broadway triumph How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying and his gripping on stage and TV performance as Truman Capote in Tru and then his recurring role as an ad firm patriarch on TV's Mad Men.

How To Succeed earned him his first Tony Award and brought instant notoriety at an early age. His second Tony honor came decades later for Tru. Morse reprised the role of Capote in an airing of the play for American Playhouse, winning him a Primetime Emmy Award. He also appeared in the movie version of How To Succeed and in the films That's Life, The Loved One and others.

But younger audiences best remember Morse as Bertram "Bert" Cooper in the critically acclaimed AMC dramatic series Mad Men which earned him five Emmy nominations.

At the age of 85, Morse returned to Broadway to star with Nathan Lane in the 2016 revival of The Front Page. That's when we last saw him and we enjoyed every memorable moment of it.

Bobby Morse was one of Broadway's most talented and endearing stars -- one who managed to triumph in nearly every medium!

Villanova Announces Jay Wright's Successor

April 20, 2022

Dear Members of the Villanova Community,

We would like to start by expressing our immense gratitude to Jay Wright, who today announced his retirement from coaching, for his incredible leadership of Villanova Men’s Basketball for the past 21 years. He has led our storied program with class, humility and grace, leaving an indelible impact on this community.

Jay’s legacy at Villanova extends well beyond the numerous awards, accolades and championships. He will be forever known to our community as Villanova’s winningest coach, who did things the “Wright” way, guiding, developing and empowering the student-athletes who played for him to not only be better on the basketball court but also in their personal lives. Jay taught us all the true meaning of “ATTITUDE,” so, on behalf of everyone associated with Villanova Basketball, we would like to express our overwhelming “GRATITUDE” for everything he has done for Villanova.

Jay and his wife, Patty, have always been tremendous ambassadors for the University and our Augustinian mission by embodying what it means to be a Villanovan: selfless, humble and caring while being driven, determined and competitive. Villanova is a better University for Jay being a part of it, which is why we are delighted that he has agreed to stay on at Villanova as Special Assistant to the President. In this role, Jay will be involved in fundraising, advising, education and more for the University.

NEXT CHAPTER
Over the past two decades, Jay and his staff have built an enviable, world-class basketball program at Villanova. When looking for a successor, we wanted a candidate who could provide continuity for what Jay has built, and who could navigate the changing landscape of collegiate athletics keeping Villanova in a position of strength—now and in the future. After meeting with several exceptional candidates, we found all those attributes and more in Villanova’s new William B. Finneran Endowed Head Coach, Kyle Neptune.

Kyle quickly stood out for his basketball knowledge, recruiting savvy and natural ability to connect with student-athletes and coaches. He most recently served as the head coach of Fordham University. Prior to Fordham, Kyle served two stints on Jay’s staff over the course of a decade. While an assistant coach at Villanova, the team averaged 30.7 wins per season and captured five BIG EAST regular-season tournament titles and a pair of NCAA national championships. A native of Brooklyn, New York, Kyle played four seasons of college basketball at Lehigh University.

Please join us in congratulating Kyle and welcoming him back to Villanova. He is eager to get started and return to the Villanova community. Also, in the months ahead, we will come together to honor Jay and Patty and recognize his more than two decades as the Head Coach of Villanova Men’s Basketball. More to come on that, but as we say, it’s a great day to be a Wildcat!

Sincerely,

Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA
President

Mark Jackson
Vice President and Director of Athletics
