Chris Christie Gets Downright Angry On NJ Boardwalk
— Ace

I think -- but don't know -- that what he's objecting to is being heckled even though his family is present, and he's just buying an ice cream cone on a night out.

Of course, the malefactor seems to be a teacher:

Gov. Christie (R-NJ) was hangin' with his family in Seaside Heights ... and had just ordered an ice cream cone when a passerby fired off some snide comments about Christie's policy on education.

I don't know it's a teacher, but they seem to be the ones objecting to his "education policy" (which is basically the same as everyone else's policy, except teachers can't have whatever they demand). The other possible controversy is the Rowan College situation (Rutgers Camden seems to be in the process of being spun off into its own, less prestigious school, which has some Rutgers Camden grads and students pissed off).

9 Yea, it's Rutgers-Camden absorbing Rowan. I sure whoever graduates from there doesn't say, "I graduated from Rutgers-Camden, but I graduated from Rutgers" The only good thing about Camden is the Battleship New Jersey.

19 follow-up on #8: and when some NJ teachers' union honcho tried to meet with Christie, he called her out on the e-mail. When she refused to apologize, he threw her out of his office. His last words to her were, "we have nothing to talk about."

This is why I love Chris Christie. In a manly way, naturally.

42 "11 You don't harass a man when he's with his family. Posted by: Soothsayer" You think a governor's time with his family takes precedence over teachers' self interest? You must be living in a dream world. I just don't know how anyone can defend the teachers' unions anymore. My sister in law is a unionized teacher. The other day my brother, her husband, said that the teachers' union wants what is best for everyone. My response was simple. "No they don't."

73 Christie seems to me like a man who has read too many of his own press clippings and has started to believe his own PR that his "tough guy" talk is charming and inspiring. To the media, OK -- I think Newt tapped into this vein well in the primaries, up to a point (he couldn't overcome his basic Newtness). But to ordinary citizens... meh. I don't like it when my politicians talk down to me, and I don't really care whether it's a liberal doing it or a "conservative" like Christie. I think he is increasingly coming off as a bully, and that sort of thing wouldn't wear well in a national campaign.

74 South Jersey's best university, Rutgers Camden.

Damn, you just destroyed your argument right there.

Let's stipulate that Princeton is in Central Jersey.

Here are the 4-year schools that are south of Princeton:
Rowan University (public)
The College of New Jersey (public)
Richard Stockton College of New Jersey (public)
Thomas Edison State College (public)
Georgian Court University (private)
Rider University (private)

Even damning with faint praise there, I'd pick Rider over Rutgers-Camden.

92 This has been a tough month for me personally; last month my mother - who was a "Rosie the Riveter" type - a lab technician in a steel mill during WWII - passed away at age 96.

A month to the day later her brother in law - my uncle Joe - passed away. Uncle Joe was one of the heroes of the Battle of the Bulge - he volunteered to be in the lead tank in Patton's relief column because his brother was an infantry man pinned down in Bastogne by the German offensive.

We have no replacements for such people; they saved the world and never said much about it.

We owe a special debt to those people; we can't allow left wing revisionist historians to denigrate what they did.

96 The College of New Jersey,IIRC, used to have a fairly good rep as a liberal arts college, back when liberal arts colleges actually taught the liberal arts. Y'no, back when English majors had to read Shakespeare, Milton, and Melville and write informed, coherent papers......instead of drooling expressionistic free verse about Dick Cheney and elaborating queer theory.

99 There are two universities in the entire state of NJ: Princeton and Seton Hall. Any other university in the state should be shut down for being an impostor.

Rutgers is akin to be shaken down, and Camden once held the honor of the highest murder per capita in the U.S. (too tired to look it up now). To say you graduated/taught at any university with the words "Camden" or "Rutgers" would be like boasting about your small penis.

To be fair, NJ competes strongly in rest stops, tolls, mosquitoes, ghettos, and relocated Long-Islanders. Poor Christie has the deck stacked against him.

Posted by: Margarita DeVille at July 06, 2012 02:30 PM (C8mVl)

102 Nobody who anything about Jersey would say Princeton is in South Jersey.

You have no idea about how good Rutgers-Camden is, so you just make some stuff up and say it's bad.

The bottom line is this. Whatever South Jersey has or doesn't have in terms of colleges and universities, Rutgers-Camden is the best. Taking Rutgers-Camden away from South Jersey was going to do serious damage to South Jersey's hopes for the future. Fortunately, wiser heads prevailed, and Chris Christie's misguided plan has been completely rejected.

Rutgers is the primary state university of New Jersey. There is no "University of New Jersey" or "New Jersey State." Rutgers University is the State University of New Jersey.

For Rutgers to not have a presence in South Jersey would have been a major mistake.

Rowan I'm sure is OK, but its founder was tied up with supplying the Iraqis against us in the war several years ago, and it does not have the prestige of the name Rutgers. Chris Christie's plan would have relegated South Jersey to being stuck with Rowan and that's it.

Yes, education costs too much, and unions suck. The point is, though, that it is worth fighting to conserve what good is in our educational institutions. I don't know all the answers, but keeping Rutgers-Camden as a fully-fledged campus of Rutgers University was absolutely the correct move for the state, for South Jersey, and for the sake of education itself.

Chris Christie is not on my list of favorite people. I don't trust him.

Well, you've been piggybacking off of the NB campus for a while now. It's nice I'm sure but the faculty there doesn't hold a candle to what you'll see at NB. Look at the math department, it's always a good barometer for comparing schools -- everybody's got a math department.

Chris Christie's plan would have relegated South Jersey to being stuck with Rowan and that's it.

I started the Atkins thing shortly after the last post about low-carb diets and the weight is falling off and I'm not frigging hungry like I was on the other stuff. Plus, hubby's happier now that we're eating good portions of meat instead of minuscule salads with a scant teaspoon of crappy calorie free dressing. So, many thanks to you, Ace, and to all the morons who have discussed the low-carb lifestyle benefits over the past few years! Now you know those posts aren't wasted.

Some might think that those trustees must be all Rutgers-Camden grads, too, or South Jerseyans. Well, that can't be, but maybe those trustees are better at math than some others.

Maybe South Jersey really does have its own unique identity. Judging by this thread, I'd say people have opinions about it. It almost seems like a part of New Jersey that is somehow different than Trenton, or central Jersey or elsewhere, and in any case far removed from an angry, unnumbered, cold room they call Governor Christie's office.

Never been a big meat eater, probably cause my mom's not so I didn't grow up eating anything but a tiny portion of meat at meal times. I'm liking it more now, though. You can eat a whole lot less meat and be full than just about anything else.

214 Trenton and Newark are like Detroit ghettos, compressed into 20% of the land mass. Their respective GAMs (ghetto atomic mass) rank at the top of the list, just below Camden.

GAMs are a relatively new branch of urban science, only recently published by two Social Scientists at Rutgers University - Camden. There's still some disagreement on they calculated "ghettoness", but their GAM ranking represents an objective, quantifiable metric that ultimately yields the crime rate per square inch.

Other measurements are now seen as more subjective and less reliable. For example the OE800 - which measured the number of discarded Old English 800 Malt Liquor bottles in an abandoned lot; or the CCPB which calculated the number of Church's Chickens per Block.

Two Social Scientists from Rutgers-Camden - if that didn't give it away...

And there's your market niche right there...hater proxies.

A service whereby one could hire a person on an hourly or per epithet basis to pitch vitriol and loathing at whichever target one specified.

You obviously have a very deep and varied talent pool for this, commenting here.

Seriously, most of the horde would make outSTANDing hater proxies, and I'd wager the insults/denigrating/slander/outright rage they could hurl at the object of anyone's distaste would be an astounding thing if fuelled by the cold hard cash that could be converted into val-u-rite.

Would do it myself, but at present am involved in some very deep and transcedental loathing projects that focus on various personages of the liberal bent.
