In fact, the exact converse is true.

Oh--what was his source?
Most likely, it was his fevered imagination...

My favorite was Barbara Bueno's breakdown saying she was setup by her party to run against Christie in 2013

It's not how you start, it's how you finish that counts.

Yup!
A millionaire who squanders his wealth and winds up penniless is--at the end of the day--a pauper, not a millionaire.
No matter how he may try to twist it, the bottom line is that Christie wound-up as the least popular NJ Governor--ever.

Governor Butterball did in fact suck. And I wanted to like the guy.

At least Bon Jovi contributes to the community with his JBJ Soul Kitchens.

Larry Doby is really the only one I personally think was worthy of having something named after him on that list.

Long-time resident + already in "NJ Hall of Fame" are not "zero" connections, though I agree she is a curious choice. She's not someone one automatically connects with NJ.

Perhaps this is not meant to be an honor but rather sarcasm.

At least that is somewhat of a point.. lol.

I used to work at Cheesequake, (named after Native Americans? Chessequa???) but that's why I'm a little... incredulous.

He should have never tried his hand at country.. I was 10 or so, I didn't know any better. Even by the time I was a teen, I'm like, "Bon Jovi just doesn't rock like a Seger or a Van Halen."

Is there a Bruce Springsteen rest stop? I would again say.. "Save the ears."

Guess I missed that she lives in NJ, but on the other hand, guessing Murphy needed an Asian and she was his best choice.

But like I also said, not to worry for in about 25 years they'll change the names again.
