Chris Christie put it, made significant cultural contributions to her home state. “For those people who say, 'I don't think she deserves it,' I say to them, ‘I understand that you don't think that. I do, and it's my executive order,’” Christie, a Republican, said last week. At least one town, however, ignored the governor’s executive order. It ought to be up to the locals. It's not. It's state law. -- Ed Huntress |

In my house, we refer to Christie as "that fat **** in Trenton." Just sayin' |
