Fair and Balanced

G:TB's editorial staff has had its issues with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. For starters, what kind of name is Chris Christie? And his education policies spurred one of our heretofore apolitical team members to minor political celebrity. Generally speaking, we're not fans. But unlike too many of our elected officials, G:TB is not afraid to praise those with whom we disagree when it's warranted.

Christie's vocal defense of his appointment of Sohail Mohammed to a Superior Court judgeship should be required reading for members of both political parties. His refusal to kowtow to the pernicious bigotry that passes for patriotism in many circles right now deserves a hearty huzzah.



Now go fix your school system, big fella. You don't want Almighty Yojo making up songs about you.
