What Governor Christie Will Not Talk About Today

Governor Christie is spending four hours this morning talking sports, avoiding any and all talk of his abysmal economic record. Here is what Governor Christie will not be talking about: 400,000 New Jerseyans are currently out of work. In July alone, New Jersey lost nearly 12,000 jobs. New Jersey has the highest unemployment rate in the region -- at 8.6% -- which is more than a point higher than the national average, 7.4%.  New Jersey has recovered only half of the jobs it lost during the Great Recession. Under Governor Christie, New Jersey ranks 45th in job creation. Property taxes have risen by 20 percent over the past three years. The middle class in New Jersey has shrunk by nearly 3% under Governor Christie.

Worst Person in the World!

Wfan's Mike Francesa, Joe "the Pulmmer" Wurzelbacher, and re-elected Congresswoman Michele Bachman(R) Minn. all made Keith Olermann's "Worst Person in the World" list last night.

Francesa for reemingout a Fox sideline reporter during an NFL game, Joe "the plummer" for having been on welfare twice and Bachman for suggesting that she help to get Barack Obama elected president.
