It’s the curse of having sat through too many local town council meetings and too many speeches by politicians; it’s taking notes as they speak because you want to keep what’s said fresh in mind.
Regular folks don’t do this, but anyone who has spent any time as a reporter will tell you it is a hard habit to break.
So, on Tuesday, January 11, I found myself taking notes as New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie, gave his first constitutionally required State of the State speech. He will be back in February with a speech about his budget.
A Jolly, Fat Buzz-Saw
Christie’s State of the State speech was delivered to the members of the New Jersey Senate and Assembly, mostly Democrats; all of whom had learned in the previous year that the Governor was a jolly, fat buzz-saw who just loves a good fight.
Gov. Christie was preceded by two of the worst Governors in current times, Jim McGreevey who discovered he was gay after he put his boyfriend on the payroll and the whispers in the statehouse became a raging storm. He was followed by Jon Corzine, a limousine liberal. Together they increased taxes and fees 115 times in eight years! In a single term in office, Corzine raised taxes $9 billion!

Lynching is an ugly part of our nation’s history. Racially motivated lynchings are grotesque reminders of the venom and hate associated with slavery and denial of civil rights in the United States of America to select groups of people.
A self proclaimed “artist” Chad Michael Morisette wanted to create a macabre scene at his home for all to see. He said he did it in the spirit of Halloween. “It should be seen as art, and as within the month of October. It’s Halloween, it’s time to be scary it’s time to be spooky,” said Morisette.
Our Long History of Hate Now Forgotten
Morisette must have forgotten our nation’s long history of hate. Today, hate crimes have been codified into law. For anyone to lynch a caricature of any minority person or representative sample of any minority group would be classified in many states as an official hate crime.
