Conan O’Brien has been making some pretty rough jokes about Newark, which has led to a (mostly) mock feud between the late-night host and Newark Mayor Cory Booker.

O’Brien joked that the mayor was establishing a program to improve the health of the city’s residents, then deadpanned: “The health care program would consist of a bus ticket out of Newark.”
He did a video bit in which he praised the city’s “thriving arts scene” (while showing a graffiti-scarred wall); its “four-star lodging” (shots of abandoned, gutted, rusting vehicles); and its “world-class live theater” (a peep show).
He threatened to form an alliance with the mayors of nearby municipalities, thus “creating a geographic toilet seat around the city of Newark,” making it possible to flush the city down the figurative bowl.
The mayor came up with his own YouTube videos in response and, believe it or not, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton weighed in at one point as a mock peace negotiator.
Conan seems like a nice fellow, and I doubt that he harbors any malice toward Newark. But he and his audience are having fun taunting a city that, like many others across the U.S., is in a desperately tragic situation: poverty-stricken, run down, often unsafe, its children and teenagers in too many instances going nowhere fast.
Whether it’s Newark, Detroit, parts of Chicago, South-Central Los Angeles, Camden, N.J. — take your pick — we’ve looked the other way for decades as the residents of hard-core inner-city neighborhoods struggled with overwhelming, life-threatening problems and a chronic shortage of resources, financial and otherwise.
We’re having an intense national debate over whether to move ahead with nation-building in Afghanistan and to continue protecting the population in places like Kabul and Kandahar while all but ignoring the violence that is consuming the lives of boys and girls in Chicago, America’s third-largest city.
Dozens of boys and girls of school-age and younger are murdered in Chicago every year. One hundred were killed there last year, according to the police. The blood of the young is spattered daily on the stoops, sidewalks and streets of American cities from coast to coast, and we won’t even take notice unless, *******for example, we can engage in the ghoulish delight of watching the murder played over and over again on video.*******
In Newark, where some of the streets do look as bad as the scenes that were part of Conan’s comedy bit, the unemployment rate is 14.7 percent. Keeping kids in high school long enough to graduate is difficult. Drug dealing is a fallback employment option for men and boys who can’t find legitimate work.
Other cities have the same problems, some to a greater degree. So what are we doing? While mulling the prospect of sending up to 40,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, we’ve stood idly by, mute as a stone, as school districts across the nation have bounced 40,000 teachers out of their jobs over the past year.
That should tell you all you need to know about twisted national priorities.
Even as teachers by the tens of thousands are walking the plank to unemployment, we’re learning, as The Times reported last week, that one in every 10 young male dropouts is locked up in jail or juvenile detention. As if that weren’t gruesome enough, we find that the figure for blacks is one in four. What would it take to get the perpetual crisis facing these young people onto the radar screens of the rest of America?
Conan was just trying to be funny, but the reality behind his late-night humor is horrifying. In Detroit, the median sale price of a house has hovered around $8,000. Seventy percent of all murders in the Motor City go unsolved. Joblessness is off the charts. The school system is a catastrophe.
I remember driving around Camden, which is right outside of Philadelphia, on a rainy afternoon. Young people with nothing to do — they had dropped out of school and had little or no chance of finding a job — were gathered on porches, saying little, staring the hours away. I had on a suit and was driving a nice car. More than one person that I approached thought I was either buying or selling drugs.
The inner cities have been in a recession for decades. They’re in a depression now. Myriad issues desperately need to be addressed: employment, education, the foreclosure crisis, crime, alcohol and drug abuse, health care (including mental health treatment and counseling), child care for working parents and on and on and on.
Conan’s jokes would carry a silver lining if they could somehow prompt more people to think more seriously about what’s really going on in cities like Newark.
Can someone explain what He
Help me analyze this NYTimes Bob Herbert article!?
I need the email addresses for Wells Fargo Bank. They placed a libelous, incorrect negative comment on my credit report though my Visa credit card has been paid on time.
My daughter who shares the account with me is in the process of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy because she lost her job and can’t pay her bills. So, I have assumed full responsibility and have been paying the bill for a year now.
I have already called twice and sent certified letters to both Wells Fargo Bankruptcy and Collections departments. What do I do?
What do I do? Wells Fargo libelously placed a negative comment on my credit report.?
or fuzzy math?…….I don't get it the more jobs that are lost the slower the % goes up……lol it is backwards……
Is the unemployment rate as reported by the US government just more liberal math?
a number of raises, they report it as jobs new and saved, when actually there were neither. Don't they know that it will all catch up to them, or are they hoping to pass it on to the next office seeker.Firewoman, see top contributor Nckinno's answer and link posted, thank you!All you have to do is go to news sources other than the liberal networks, there are groups out there well funded to supress any truth revealing reports, I do not post links, only ask and answer, sorry!
Why are the 0bama people less than truthful and to the point? When an employer reports that he has given?
Ever since the year 2000 the Executive Branch has been calling people that max out their unemployment compensation as "New Jobs"
So 12 million unemployed without benefits, in the eyes of politicians are actually 12 million new jobs.
Now that Braqi's unemployment extensions ran out, will the administration report unemployment as New Job gains?
The meeting is in about 30 minutes. One of the women in our department is a huge slacker. She spends 80% of her time on Facebook, My Space, texting, and browsing the web. She has been here for about two years. Her problem is she is just young and immature. She is 23 but I think her main focus is on material things, looking cute, and getting paid without doing any work. I really like her and have tried to warn her several times. Two others have tried to warn her as well. She just kind of blows it off. I truly think it all goes right over her head.
She started out as an Admin. and was promoted to sort of a General Office position where she runs reports and supports our department. My personal opinion is my supervisor likes her and sees potential in her. I know she’s gotten on to her about her internet usage before, but because she doesn’t sit out here she really doesn’t know what goes on and to what level it goes on.
From the moment she started I noticed she had poor work ethics. She just wants to get the project off her desk and out of her hands. She doesn’t care if it’s right. Anytime she gets something that’s outside of the norm she’ll freak out and say, “I don’t know how to do this!” She’ll get an attitude and you can instantly tell she’s not interested in doing the project. Knowing this, I don’t give her anything of mine to do. If my name is associated with it I want it done right. While I can’t control her actions I can control my own. I do so by doing it myself!
When I got the e-mail from my co-worker about the meeting I almost fainted. She’s not doing anything for me at this time and hasn’t for a while. I simply don’t give her anything. I know she doesn’t take pride in her work so why get myself all worked up about it? I don’t want to attend this meeting because although I could throw out some negative input, I don’t feel it would be fair since I’ve chosen not to use her.
The other team members feel I need to attend to make the point that we could use her help, but most of us refrain from giving her things in fear that it won’t be done correctly. Apparently, they want to come up with a recommendation and talk to our supervisor about her. They want to meet while this employee is gone to lunch and I think that’s sneaky in itself. I sit in a cubicle right next to hers. We are not friends outside of work but we have small talk while we’re at work.
Someone suggested taking her to lunch and talking to her. I really don’t think that would do any good. I feel she simply doesn’t care. We are all adults here. She knows what her job description is. Nobody is going to hold your hand in life. I also feel we will risk her getting upset and going straight to our supervisor – and I know that won’t be good. My supervisor will probably prefer we address any concerns about any employee directly to her.
I feel really uncomfortable about the situation. What if she is fired? I mean, that would be her own fault but I just don’t want to contribute to it. I am the type of person who doesn’t squeal on anyone unless it is directly affecting me or my job, and even then it has to be pretty bad for me to say something. One other employee has stated she isn’t going to attend the meeting for the same reasons I’ve given. But I know the team is going to be irked with me if I don’t attend.
What should I do?
Members of my department want to have a meeting about one of our co-workers. Should I attend?
Job numbers report is tomorrow, is it going to be any good, what do you think?
