So in a nutshell, a scandal has broken out that a top aide to Republican Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey was aware of massive lane closures and traffic jams on the Washington Bridge on Election Day this past November when the Governor was up for reelection.rnrnChristie is denying any knowledge of this, but there have been some damning messages that are at least making his staff look really, REALLY bad. With Christie vying for a run for president in 2016, this could destroy his chances. rnrnWhat are your thoughts? Do you think that he knew, that he perhaps even ordered it? Do you think he honestly did not know? Beyond that, how does the governor handle this situation? One person involved has resigned... but would the best move be to sack his entire staff?

| Another round of "Fuck winter"
Ben's car needs new brakes. Badly. But his car and the cold really don't get along... so for the last week, his car will not stop and even our portable jumper will do no good to get it started. It has been below freezing every fucking day this week. It was supposed to be in the 40s today, but nope... high of 29. They say it will finally warm up tomorrow... we will see. This is such bullshit. |

| No offense, your friend kinda sickens me.
Not a whole lot, but I have won like $80 once playing craps. Good times. Do you have a preference for flavor of chewing gum? |

| Katana: I can't remember the name of that one but I know that book! I'm apparently a klutz (gee, no shit)
Sagittarius and Wood Rat (because element matters)... I guess I can see it. I am fairly into astrology, I think that when you get into sun, moon, and rising sign it gets pretty interesting to see how accurate it can be. |

| It doesn't seem that it has anything to do with tampering with the election results. The evidence has mostly been indicating that this was retaliation towards the mayor of Fort Lee where the bridge is located for not endorsing Christie for reelection. As for why it matters that this particular bridge was closed, the George Washington Bridge is the busiest bridge in the nation and connects New Jersey to New York City
The focus on all the reports that I am seeing are more on the "How did he honestly not know?" and the excuses and responses he gave... such as pointing out that the calls for an investigation into the bridge closure resulted in Christie dismissing and attacking the people asking for it, yet when the story broke with proof that his administration had a role in it, he pleaded ignorance of the issue. Rogue, here is a basic breakdown that does a decent job of explaining it all. (Last edited by Elara on 01-12-14 09:01 PM) |

| Yeah, I think that is one of the things I don't miss... "It happened outside of California? Who cares?"
And HA to the whiny kids at the con... they would shit themselves on an actual cold day. The big thing that is being focused on with this story now is "Why did this happen?" and "Was the Governor involved?" It is possible that his chief of staff gave this order behind his back... but if she did not and he was in fact involved... well... that falls under the flaws on felony abuse of power. To figure out the part of his involvement, we have to figure out the why... there are at least three theories currently floating around. One is that it was retaliation against the Mayor of Fort Lee for not endorsing Christie (there is credible evidence of this happening to other mayors so it is possible), retaliation against the leader of the Democrats in the NJ State Senate for rejecting his choices for judge appointments (not as plausible since she has a rather large district and Fort Lee is only a small part of it), or that this was done to mess with a $1B (yes, B as in billion) development deal for a property whose value is based on quick access to the George Washington Bridge via those very same access lanes (this theory is also still possibly connected to the retaliation against the mayor idea just in a different way) |

Happy birthday, Rogue!
|
Yes, the Facebook has provided us an avenue to already wish you a happy birthday, but it just isn't the same as having your own thread. Also, you now have a new place to post pictures of whatever awesome thing you did today so that we can all live vicariously through you. ... you know... if we wanted to. .... which we don't. Honest.  
*Throws a birthday cake at you and runs*

Katana pretty much anticipated my comments... but seriously... what the fuck? And yeah... so apparently we are now going to promote the idea that only American military involvement matters? As if we are not nationalistic enough. Also, like Vulkar, while I am appreciative of our military veterans, I do not think that this level of hero worship is healthy for our country. The greatest military hero ever in my opinion is Cincinnatus, the Roman farmer who became a General then Dictator during a war, then gave up all that power to return to his farm. When our nation was founded he was held up as an ideal (we have an Order of Cincinnatus for crying out loud) and George Washington was compared to him constantly for trying to do the same thing. Of course, if we don't look at Roman military history, we never learn about him, now do we?

Yes. Moon sign is more of your emotional nature. Your rising sign, or ascendent, tends to represent how you present yourself to others. The three combined tend to give a really good view of you as a person. Just make sure that when you look up your rising sign you have the location and time that you were born, because it will not be accurate without it. If you can get a natal chart done on a site like astrology.com or something that will give you a ton of info.

I also got Life Path 9... I tend to not put much stock into things that go on so little information (which is why I go for more in-depth astrology)... but honestly this creeped me out with the accuracy.

The nature of the emails shows that it wasn't a brain fart, and they were shooting emails back and forth to each other while it was going on, as well as purposely ignoring the mayor of the affected city.
|
Are they focusing on it a bit much? Yeah, but at the same time I do think that this should not be something that should be shrugged off and ignored. I think the reason that they keep focusing on it is that he keeps getting caught in lies about it. In the scramble to cover his own ass, he seems to be digging himself deeper and deeper. And let's face it, people find that fascinating.

I had heard so many bad reviews that I expected it to be utter shit. Was it the greatest Marvel movie ever? No, but it was entertaining. What is your Go-To snack when you are feeling a bit hungry? (restricted) |

Lame fact, I know. Okay... err... I had to buy a download copy of Dragon Age 2 for PC because you apparently can't get a physical disc without paying WAY too much for it. What the hell, people?

I will have checked the weather for the next few days, looked again ten minutes later and it's totally different. We got a break from the freezing temps for a few days that was lovely, but it's back to being cold. High of 30 with snow tonight and tomorrow. I am hoping the ground warmed up enough that it doesn't stick to the road. |

See, I can deal with all that as long as it stays above freezing.
