Granted New Jersey has always been at the forefront of zero tolerance overreaction, but this just seems way too specific.

Thank God the New Jersey Legislature Voted Against Gay Marriage!

Cidu Bill on Jan 12th 2010

I’ve been married for almost 31 years and the way I understand it, if this thing had passed, my marriage would have been immediately and irrevocably undermined.

Campaigning Question

Cidu Bill on Nov 5th 2009

I’m wondering whether anybody knows… When the President travels to campaign for, say, a gubernatorial candidate, who pays for the Air Force 1 expenses, security for the President, police overtime onsite, etc?

And just for the record, I can’t speak for Virginia, but no matter what you might hear, the New Jersey election was not a referendum on either Obama or the Democratic Party: it was a referendum on Jon Corzine. When New Jerseyans went into the voting booth yesterday, Barack Obama was the last thing on our minds: We were too busy holding our noses as we decided whether the thought of reelecting Jon Corzine was distasteful for us to vote for Chris Christie.

Personally, I voted for Chris Daggett, since in this case voting for the third party candidate wasn’t taking a vote away from any decent candidate. He had me at “I’m not Corzine or Christie.”

As it happens, despite recent polls predicting up to 20% of the vote for Daggett, he ended up with about 5%. Which means, God help us, New Jerseyans got the governor we deserve.

”I have here in my hand a list of 88…”

Cidu Bill on Jul 29th 2009

I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m amused by the fact that New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie’s official website has a link to his ”88 Ways Chris Christie will fix New Jersey” list, and the link is broken (it links to an older, no-longer-existing page called “79 Ways…”; the new page was a new name, but nobody thought to change the link that’s supposed to lead to it).

I guess that’s the 89th thing that should be fixed.
