South Brunswick’s rural roots

I offer this from the South Brunswick Police Department without comment:

The early morning rush hour was complicated with over a dozen minor accidents due to icy roads. Then at 9:06am a citizen called 911 to report a chicken down in the intersection of Timothy Avenue and Nancy Street. The chicken apparently tried to cross the road and fell, maybe because of the ice. Police and the animal control officer responded. The animal control officer returned the chicken to its owner on Henderson Road. It is not know how the chicken flew the coop.

Call this a reminder of South Brunswick’s rural roots.

Quote of the day: On modern conservatism

Great quote from a great column in The Baltimore Sun by Thomas Schaller, a political science professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore Campus:

The great legacy of modern conservatism – its defining principle, in fact – is the triumph of platitudes over policies. It is a movement of slogans, not solutions.

First step toward humanity

The state Senate Budget Committee has sent legislation to the full Senate that would abolish the death penalty. A vote is likely in both houses next week and legislation could go to the governor before Christmas.

Let’s hope the Legislature adopts this bill and that New Jersey’s action can spur other states to abandon our foolish societal obsession with hard justice.
