I’ll believe it when I see it. But, since liberals never come in on time or under budget I’m not holding my breath.

@SUSAN NEWMANChristie is one repub I’m not troubled with. He doesn’t seem to be a bootlickin’ member of the old boys. He gave the prez credit when it was due and to the dismay of the GOP. And please remember that less-than-pleasant feelings toward the obese is just another form of prejudice. With some obese people, the problem is endocrine.

On my ballot I voted in support of a marijuana tax. I hope it passes. Weed could become a revenue stream, not a drain on police, court and prison budgets. Progress.

While it will be pleasant to see new episodes soon, this flashback to the premarriage time of these two has been refreshing.

@too-zonkedYes, I believe that’s how the lotteries came into being. People were going to gamble anyway so why not tax it and have less money going to organized crime and not waste the money on policing and taking up the courts’ time.

It’s telling that they both think the other is in dangebr of being taken away by someone else. With that, this is the funniest arc.

well, following that line of thinking, it might be a good idea if she made sure he stayed clear of his mom

I don’t care at all about his weight (except that if the surgery doesn’t work, he would be unelectable nationally). I’m more concerned that he can’t control his temper and loves to scream at teachers in public. Now, some surreptitious anger management classes might be in line. But he’s not going to do that because he’s perfect!

Obesity doesn’t just affect physical appearance. Also, many have other issues with Christie, as noted by Kaffekup. Diabetes and heart disease are very serious problems.

I’m supposing you would be offended if someone made a joke about an obese Jewish mama. Nu???

>> I wouldn’t mind the tax on pot if it weren’t so damn high…
Or, consider that the “black-market surcharge” is being knocked down as competition among the suppliers unleashes the beauty of the invisible hand, just like we learned in Econ 101. Maybe it’s better if the taxes on the cheaper (and stronger!) weed go to parks and schools and roads, rather than drug dealers and their ammo suppliers. Final price will probably still be lower than it was during prohibition.
