Why I'm leaving New Jersey at the 1st possible opportunity

1st McGreevey (counts to numerous to mention)
2nd Grand Theft Senate Seat (tbd)
Now this.
Amongst many other things.
But this crap really does ice the cake.

Starting to think we're bothered by the wrong thing
The Sumers campaign spokesman makes a good point: they are using a recent event to demonstrate why they think their view on this issue is important. When you really believe this is an issue where voting the "wrong" way will literally kill people, how else do you show how important it is?
The problem with this is the same problem I have with the massive expansion on law enforcement and surveillence powers for the ostensible "War(s) on [foo]": the changes generally don't work. To argue that the sniper attacks would not have happened if there were stricter gun laws is amply refuted by study after study.
These arguments usually come down to, "Look at this bad thing. I don't like this bad thing. So vote for me/my plan." The emotional appeal of the subject bears no relation to the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

Made worse...
...by the fact that there is no plan offered...only an attempt to say "this bad man is responsible for the sniper"
Gutter politics at their worst.

Hangman . .
n. An officer of the law charged with duties of the highest dignity and utmost gravity, and held in hereditary disesteem by a populace having a criminal ancestry. In some of the American States, his functions are now performed by an electrician, as in New Jersey, where executions by electricity have recently been ordered - the first instance known to this lexicographer of anybody questioning the expediency of hanging Jerseymen.
- Ambrose Bierce

Re: Hangman . .
Funny, but the first Sparky fired to life at Auburn Prison, New York in 1890. The customer was named William Kemmler, who killed his wife with a hatchet.

whoever made that ad should be shot
Time to revive the pressed ham on glass party. You simply join by pulling up to the front window of any candidate that has acted a total ass in ads or public statements and give them the pressed ham on glass treatment. I think I will run on that platform of intolerance of shyte.

Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.

Foul!
Northeastern Jersey is very nice - little towns (Ft. Lee, Cresskill, Paramus, Tenafly...) each with its own distinct personality - beautiful vistas from the Hudson palisades, forested areas - very nice.
Western Jersey near the Delaware is also very beautiful. The industrial disease outside New York is not all of Jersey.

Bleah.
Yeah, there's also the scenic pine barrens and the glistening oozy muck of Barnegat Bay. And Trenton. And don't forget the rich culture of Atlantic City. Not to mention Neptune.
Some things are getting better. You can actually see blue sky over Sayreville now. Used to be brown.
The best anyone can say of New Jersey is there's some parts of it that aren't so bad. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
NOT ONE CENT of tribute for North Korea.
