How utterly stupid on the part of the two-ton guv!
I never watched Gandolfini's program, but I know what it was about: mafia and murder! Great stuff on which to stuff your brain.
It seems the nation's emblem flies for so many stupid reasons these days. Whitney Houston comes to mind. Did they lower the flag for Michael Jackson?
I’m not sure why some Freepers can’t criticize Christie for doing this, without trashing James Gandolfini. He didn’t do anything but die.
I’m surprised Obama didn’t beat him to it.
Has Mr. Creosote lowered the flag for fallen NJ soldiers?
I can’t imagine what will be done when “The Boss” dies.
He was born in Westwood, New Jersey. Native son. Fair enough.
A tabloid gesture for a tabloid nation.
Cablevision’s local news 12 continuously spews mind-control material.
It’s quite simple: krispy kreme agrees to be a RINO, and oppose everything good and decent while doing all he can to promote everything globalism wants. So he has a truce with all unions, etc., (they being a globalist front), he puts some lipstick on the NJ budget, blusters how much he’s opposing the teachers union but in reality it’s business as usual.
In exchange, news 12 goes all-pro-Christie, 24/7. There’s a stinking rotten commercial about ‘stronger than the storm’ that’s enough to make anyone barf.
News 12 beats the dead horse of the sandy storm continuously, 24/7.
News 12 Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to “connect” with the people who live in the urban areas of NJ, and keep brainwashing all the others to begin to think like those in the urban areas.
Realizing that there are a lot of people of Italian descent in the state, news 12, like all other NYC-metro channels CONSTANTLY slobbers all over anything Italian-American. After a while, it must make Italian-Americans barf, cuz it’s so overdone and superficial.
I’ve personally never liked the Jersey Shore because it’s been mostly disgusting and sleezy, with the few decent areas simply being too crowded with too many of the urbanites that one goes on vacation to get away from. Same old boardwalks, snack food, thongs, etc. Walk up and down, seeing what there is to see, and there’s nothing to see. Now get back in the car for the two hours of bumper-to-bumper traffic to go home.
It’s amazing how millions of people get the idea, but really don’t get the idea, that a show like Sopranos glorifies crime. Think about that. Glorifies crime.
Anyone who wants to glorify crime - don’t complain about anything, ever, cuz you’re causing your own problems.
Ex-mobsters will go on about old stories - mostly it’s the comraderie they reminisce about fondly. Simply recounting their former days, the people they worked with and crazy things they did. I’ve never heard of one that says that crime is right or good though; they all acknowledge that it’s wrong, and the lifestyle is one that eventually bites those that partake in it. And so they’ve graduated to being in normal businesses and investments, and they leave the street crime to other gangs.
So news 12 continues to glorify: the platform of the Democratic party, globalist causes (big medicine, etc.), and any goofy thing they can latch on to that they think will ingratiate themselves with most New Jerseyans. This is what “local New Jersey news”, even on the other stations, means. Shameless flattery and propaganda, direct from the sewer of corruption that is the Statehouse in Trenton.
Bread and circuses
Ya think NY will lower the flag for Jane Fonda, when she departs this planet?
I wonder how many WWII, Korea, and Vietnam veterans died that same day.
Christie should be more worried he doesn’t suffer the same fate with that cow heart of his.
Only in NJ would they officially recognize a mafia thug as a government official. You have to commend Fat Boy on his honesty.

The honor and respect earned that justifies flying the flag at half-staff has gone the way of the Nobel Peace Prize.
The governor has the power to direct the flags to be at half-staff. In using his power, the Governor diminished all previous honorees just as Obama’s Peace Prize demised all previous recipients.
The question now is how many days will this individual and his accomplishments be honored?
