Governor Christie's Beach Adventure

     Because of a budget standoff, the governor of New Jersey shut down public access to a number of state parks and state park beaches, on one of the busiest holiday weekends of the year.

     But that did not stop the governor from enjoying one of the state owned beaches with his family and friends, where the governor was seen lounging on the beach.

     The governor remarked something to the effect that if people did not like it, they could run for governor. Of course, that rule does not apply to his own family and friends, who are not governors.

     When leaders, whether they are in business, the nonprofit sector, or in government, are a spoiled, privileged class of people that believe in their own unlimited entitlement, common decency goes out the window and the bar is set as low as can be.
