Some friends from work and I took a ride to the Statehouse in Trenton, to support the public workers at their rally. We are unemployed because of a seasonal winter layoff. So none of us were blowing off work, regardless of you hear in the media. We were there on our own, not on any official union business or anything like that. But we all feel if the public unions are broken the few remaining private ones like ours, will be next.

James O'Keefe is at it again. Alissa Ploshnick is a public school special education teacher working in Passaic, New Jersey. In 1997 Ploshnick jumped in front of a speeding van outside her school to save students from harm. Ploshnick was hospitalized with; broken ribs, bruised pelvis, broken wrist, and glass cuts in her eyes. Ploshnick was recorded without her knowledge, quoting a racial slur someone else said by a wingnut operative, who was buying her drinks. Apparently plying her with alcohol to get her to say incriminating things.

The rightwing meme regarding economic stimulus spending seems to be that the stimulus is "socialism". What about the stimulus money that is being spent on things like roads, military bases and sewer treatment plants, on contracts awarded by competitive bidding? Any company qualified (proper bonding and insurance, etc.) to do such work can submit a bid to do the work, and the low bidder gets the contract. Private companies competing to get the work, hopefully to make a profit, that is socialism now?! Let's jump down under the fold, (into the looking glass maybe?) and see how the tea party types try to spin this.

It would seem like the right wing of the GOP (which is now the mainstream of that party) has issues about people who are unemployed. Both in Washington D.C. and here in New Jersey. They don't seem concerned about people who are hurting, or how to put them back to work, the only concern seems to be that people who have lost jobs have too much money or something.

Christopher J. Christie needs no introduction to anyone who follows New Jersey politics. Before he was a Republican candidate for NJ governor, he was A U.S. Attorney under President George W. Bush. Christie investigated and prosecuted the state's Democratic politicians as if there were no tomorrow.
