SHOE ON FOOT; FOOT IN MOUTH, KICKING BUTTS

       To the great surprise of the entire nation there is a political brouhaha erupting in  New Jersey over a purported retaliatory action done by the Governors Top Level Staff. Local access to the George Washington Bridge from Fort Lee NJ , a small town at the foot of the bridge was curtailed resulting in massive amounts of traffic backing up into the town and clogging local streets. This happened on the first day of school and besides making children very late for school also impacted EMT services in the town. The Governor at first denied any knowledge of the action even quipping that he did not place any of the traffic cones. Evidence is mounting from E Mails and the like that the top levels of people on his staff did indeed directly and condone the actions. In order to regain some credibility the governor undoubtable will have to cut some people loose. It may also have negative effect on his Presidential hopes but I hope not. I think that the only way to get a new governor here is to have him elected to Higher Office. The governor prides himself on being a hands on manger and fully involved in every facet of this office and that does not gibe with this case with top level advisors being able to run a covert action like this.
     There is a gradual easing of the extreme cold here and this morning I saw ice breaking and moving on the river. The weekend is forecast to bring temperatures in the low fifties and hopefully that will stay here for some time.
     Here is a photo of my NY Eve date and you might agree that she would be able to handle the red shoes with aplomb. The next morning it was UGGS.

 Agreed ??????

I’ve been following the Chris Christie saga and the latest things on Facebook are comparing him with Nixon’s “I am not a crook.” Seems that the Repulsicans just can do much right any more. Doris is pretty–ya dun good!!

I like your gov despite his staff, and I like the red shoe lady too. Just stay warm. Imagine, I got here.

Yes indeed, Doris is pretty. And not in an isolation ward with a mutated h1n1/noro virus. Count your blessings.

Doris is very attractive. I hope you both enjoy 2014 together.

I’m a politic junkie, so I’ve been following the Jersey traffic story. Personally, I find it hilarious, the same way I feel about all political scandals!

I wondered if that was your former bridge … what a nice happy looking photo!

Agreed! Your NY Eve is very pretty. My sister used to live in Fort Lee. A few times when we went to visit her we would stay at the Holiday Inn for the weekend just for something different to do.

I think Christy is a bully and his view of power reflected in the tone of the emails by Kelly, of which I think her mother must be so proud… not.
