What About Bob?

And now for the WWMD Hollywood Minute.

While some of us stayed home to catch the trainwrecks on the latest installment of American Idol, a very special social event took place in the Jefferson Middle School. After last week's classic Pants on the Ground, maybe you didn't want to miss out on the latest watercooler chit chat at work today.

But for those that could tear themselves away from AI last night were in for a treat.

All the Stars were out at the latest hearing of the Township of Teaneck Board of Adjustments VS. Etz Chaim of Teaneck. There was a J-LO spotting and miraculously she was able to sit right next to Kim Kardashian.

By all accounts it was a very squishy row.

Etz Chaim was sporting a new '010 model lawyer at the BOA hearing. The '09 one was soooo last year. No one can accuse Etz Chaim of not spending extra money on their Shul instead of paying down their mortgage or not being in style.

At WWMD Hollywood Minute we learned that the value of the property at 554 Queen Anne Rd is continuing to drop, despite the best efforts of the owners trying to raise property values by adding a family room on steroids, a bathroom and a kitchen. If Etz Chaim doesn't get their approval, Rabbi Feldman's kids will get an unnaturally large indoor play area. They will have the ideal Brooklyn home, no backyard required!

Testimony was given by Etz Chaim's planner and architect on Wednesday night, but insiders were concerned and wondering What About Bob?
President Robert Erlich wasn't called upon to provide his candid explanations for Etz Chaim's actions and motivations. He reminds us of a young Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf.

Maybe next time. Your fan miss you!

And finally, Etz Chaim's attitude and message has changed. They feel that the BOA should forget what Etz Chaim did in the past and they should only focus on the future. Please check out http://554queenanne.info/ for the history behind the disagreement between Etz Chaim, the Township and the Neighbors. There are no opinions there or conjecture, just primary source materials.

Based on Etz Chaim of Teaneck's past actions and methods, this blogger quotes George Santayana, a notable philosopher, Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it and a classic proverb Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Has the Teaneck Township connected the dots yet?
