One thought on “Comment live on the Christie announcement”

I loathe and despise Christie. I did not vote for him, I would never vote for him for anything. Sadly there are enough yahoos and know nothings in this state to re-elect this vulgar obese bully to another term. Give Christie another term and he will destroy NJ public education and gut public unions for generations to come. He has smeared and demonized the NJEA, not so much the other public unions, to create a wedge between the private sector and public sector unions. The yahoos are eating this up because they are jealous of the pensions and benefits of public sector workers. The demagogues on NJ101.5 and hate wing radio are waging all out war against unions, any unions. How dare workers stand up on their hind legs and fight for living wages and decent workplace conditions. Why do people keep voting against their own best economic interests? I mean, geez, how damn stupid can you get. Keep voting for the conservatives, the GOP, the libertarians and Ayn Randians who want to cut your throat and drain your blood into a pit of ravenous rats.

Broken Cord: An Anthology of Writing on Alzheimer’s and Dementia

We are looking to raise seed money for an anthology of writing on Alzheimer’s and dementia. The anthology will be the first project from a new small press. All proceeds will go to research and care groups. Contributors who donate $20 or more will get copies of the anthology and a mention on the acknowledgements page. Writers, we are looking for poems, fiction, and essays on dementia and Alzheimer’s. They can be from any perspective — care-givers, family, the person with dementia.
