We are happy to introduce Hugo ballz a syndicated comic created by Brandon Buschmann, we encourage you take take a stroll through his site and check out the characters.
Also due to something called "why don't we already do that?" we would like to introduce a new music section. Every issue we will have one piece of music to accompany it. This issue we feature Uncle Funk - with
"The Hypocrite"
Video submissions are now happening, but have not been addressed in the submissions section - quick preview of guidelines - No Home-Made Porn - everything else is cool. Look for more in upcoming issues, with areas like Book Reviews, updates from Armeanic "Val" Valentin, and rejections for interviews from extremely famous and influential people. Plus more. Or less. Enjoy!!!
Enjoy our first video post "The Message" from Lucas James Xavier Kolasa, I watched the video, had the fear and woke up in Baltimore three days later, its good. Find your inner walrus - LUCKASA
We'd also like to introduce a section called "What Happened?" which is inspired by a Sublime song and will be a topical kind of area, open for guest writers and editors with an open structure. This issue it features a welcome to our new governor - Chris Christie.
We recently started a GUESTBOOK - so tell us what you think and if you have suggestions or whatnot - write it out.

What Happened?

outh Jersey Underground would like to welcome our new governor, the honorable Chris Christie. The new governor started out his political career as a lobbyist for the firm of Dughi, Hewit & Palatucci and represented GPU Energy (for deregulation of New Jersey's electric and gas industry) and Securities Industry Association (to block the inclusion of securities fraud under the state's Consumer Fraud Act). As prolific and successful as he was as a lobbyist he did not mention it much during his run for governor, some say, he did not want to be seen as a braggart. He is a noted scholar and skilled lawyer who served under his legal idols, John Ashcroft and Alberto Gonzales. During the Bush “administration” he served as a member of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, to which he was highly recommended for the job by the political sage - Karl Rove. Though he wasn’t always in support of being “green” or the "far-fetched theory of global warming", he has pledged to be the most environmentally protective governor New Jersey has ever had. SJU predicts Christie to totally break from his lobbyist and Bush era interests and put the health of New Jersey’s citizens, their children, and the environment ahead of the corporate greed mentality that constantly pushes for regulations to be returned to the golden age of the robber barons. He is not corrupt, really? Yes. Governor Chris Christie is not corrupt. We wish him well as governor and in his pursuit of his lifelong dream of swimming in gold coins like Scrooge McDuck.
