I think Glen Beck is an assclown, but I am grateful that the phrase “common sense porn” has been entered into my vernacular. It’s a phrase that most of us use to describe any speech, video, or media appearance by NJ Governor Chris Christie. Gov. Christie is the latest conservative hero we’re pinning all of our hopes and dreams on…which of course means there’s only a matter of time before he shatters our hearts like all the others before him.
Until then, we’ll just have to keep sneaking into the bathroom with speeches of his in a brown paper bag, the most latest of which was to the Manhattan Institute. He travelled to New York City this week to talk aboot the fiscal mess New Jersey is in and how he plans to fix it with something he calls Cap 2.5. Besides being an outstanding website, it’s also his reform agenda, centered around capping property tax increases at 2.5%.
There tons of great stuff in here, so for the sake of this blog post we’ll draw a topic out of a hat. Oooh, public employee unions…
“You don’t want to mess with moms who are rising up. If you thought pit bulls were tough, you don’t want to mess with mama grizzlies.” - Sarah Palin
Zoinks! The Republicans are actually starting to sound all Republicany.
“As Reagan understood, true leadership requires stating goals and taking decisive action, in this case reducing government spending substantially enough to convince the private sector to invest again..” - David Malpass
