Politically speaking.......AAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
My state just elected a man for governor who walked out of an ethics hearing because he was caught doing unethical things and refused to answer their questions. He promises to lower our taxes but he has been caught not paying his own. His campaign was won by complaining that
our current gov. did not create jobs and lower taxes. Newsflash. You cannot expect to bring tons of jobs into a
state that is in this terrible recession handed to us courtesy of the "fat-cat" bankers that cashed in on writing bad loans. You also cannot lower property taxes when the "garden state" is in
debt up to its rutabagas and you are now losing millions of dollars in sales tax revenues due to the recession. It's simple economics people. I sincerely hope this guy is not as bad a guy as he appears to me. I just still can't believe he got elected. Years ago, Tim and I were making a gas stop in Vermont on a day we were coming home from vacation there. Turns out the shop owner was born in NJ and had moved to VT years before. He had just gone back to Jersey for a wedding which was in a pretty urban area of the state. I'll never forget the way he said,
"yep, that state sure is goin' to Hell in a handbasket." Tim and I still laugh about it. I'm not laughing too much today though. That guy was more right than even he knew.
By the way, does this handbasket make my butt look big?

This was my college daughter's twitter post last night:
Nice going, NJ. Now we have in power an enemy of progress. The pendulum has swung back to the right, decapitating hope along its ominous arc.
Can you tell she's a liberal???
The bankers, the judges, the lawyers and the politicians won't stop their thieving ways until the till is empty... a lawyer I once knew said, "I'll defend you to your last nickel."
