Quote of the Day
"Those who hold the power and corrupt the power are the ones that we're after. You know in Hudson County, is it shocking to know that most of the people we've indicted and convicted were Democrats? A Hudson County Republican would love to be indicted. It would show they were relevant." -- U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie, on WGBO, "the world's premier jazz radio station."

Joe Lieberman
Sen. Lieberman gave a great speech. Kudos to him for putting country before politics.
I probably disagree with 80% of his political views, but I still think he's a great American and for that, I salute him.
