"Today: Tensions along the New York/New Jersey border (they are definitely contiguous — we checked) are said to be rising, with both states exchanging salvos of “You talkin’ to ME?” and spontaneous displays of abdominal muscles and repeated vigorous extensions of central manual digits."

I dunno, I'm a NYer who likes the Jersey shore (the actual place, that is), who finds this extremely ephemeral tempest in a teapot to be a mild amusing distraction from the searing pain and grief that is still present throughout the area. People there are tough as nails, but even so this still hurts real bad. The opportunity to take a few moments to laff every now and then helps, even if the opportunity itself is pretty insipid. At present, any stupid excuse for levity is good enough. Jerseyans are doing their best to keep a brave face, but don't be fooled; the grief is still quite raw and is right there just below the surface.

Regardless of what you think of his politics and his party, you cannot deny that Christie has shown real leadership during this crisis.

You need some theology and geometry.

:It’s not that I don’t like you, I just don’t like your show and the way it depicts New Jersey:

Point the First: It's kind of cool to see a politician being honest with a "celebrity" instead of kissing his/her ass. Point the Second: Dude...it's fucking New Jersey. Stereotypes are Stereotypes, but sometimes a stereotype is based a little bit in truth.

I meant the United States needs some theology and geometry, not you personally. Though the United States includes you, personally, doesn't it? So, what I ... what's that adage? "Remove shoe from foot before inserting in mouth"? I shall go and let Boethius console me with philosophy now.

Eh, give Christie a break. It's hard for him to make nice-nice all the time - sooner or later the churlish side has to come out or else he'll explode.

yeah, but there's something nice about a multi millionaire still penning songs about the blue collar angst of the common man...
