While people IN NJ are still suffering, Christie goes on Saturday Night Live. He was invited as a rewarded for his treachery to Mitt Romney.
Expect to see Chris Christie get more exposure in the popular culture. He is the left’s favorite Republican. Christie should enjoy his fame while it lasts. Once he’s not useful, the Progressives will drop him like they did McCain in 2008.

I never was much of a fan of SNL. Eventually I was told that cannabis (or perhaps other recreational chemicals) were needed to appreciate it.

Ingesting that much sugar that rapidly is a bad idea for anybody, and considering his age and build, he may very well have a blood sugar problem. Nausea can be one of the symptoms. So is dizziness and blurred vision.
Also, if he had imbibed alcoholic beverages earlier in the day, that could have whipsawed his blood sugar, first dropping it then bouncing it way up again.

The judge noted that the bakery union, which represents about 30 percent of Hostess workers, went on strike after rejecting the company’s latest contract offer, even though it had never filed an objection to it.
‘Many people, myself included, have serious questions as to the logic behind this strike,’ said Judge Robert Drain, who heard the case in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York in White Plains, N.Y.
‘Not to have gone through that step leaves a huge question mark in this case.’

Given that before Gutfeld did that, they showed what Beckel was like last Friday when he couldn’t stop eating the Twinkies (or wtaever they were) and had everybody on the set in hysterics -- I think they just set him up. He’s a glutton and they were pretty sure he’d guzzle the whole thing.

“The third fatality, Itzik Amsalem, was killed after he refused to move to a bomb shelter and decided to stay on his apartment balcony so he could photograph the Iron Dome battery intercepting rockets. Amsalem’s mother said that her son stood on the balcony and tried to photograph the rocket as it landed a direct hit on the building, causing his death.”

@ Macker:
Since my dealer had one in their online inventory list, I went and drove a Subaru Crosstreck with a manual transmission yesterday An Imprezza-based replacement for the old Outback Sport, sorta like a smaller Outback. The new one gets better mileage by using the 2.0 litre engine at 143 bhp instead of the old standard 2.5 litre boxer at 170 bhp. It would make a good little all-weather road car if you live where winter occurs, what with AWD and extra ground clearance. Has light rated towing capacity as well. It was $ 23 K and change, list. New vehicle, though, so hard to get exactly as you want it at the moment, especially the manual versions. The auto tranny versions are more common and get better mileage, and they have paddle shifters if you want to play boy racer, but they’re mounted on the steering wheel itself, which is just stupid, IMHO. Of course, if you don’t need an all-weather road car with the AWD and extra ground clearance, you can get better mileage for less bucks from other manufacturers. It ain’t that Mini Countryman S All4 I semi-lust after, but it’s a more practical (and probably more reliable) car for substantially less money, so it’s on my list if I ever get off my ass and replace my 16 year old Geo Metro.
Geo Notes:
Age -- 16 years (I’ve had it 14)
BHP -- A screaming 58. 1000 cc engine, 3 cylinders.
Condition -- Cosmetically rough, inside and out
Total miles -- < 42 K (yes, you read that correctly)
MPG -- 40 in town, 45 on the highway, if driven aggressively (absolutely necessary if you want to get anywhere)
Monthly payment -- Paid off over a decade ago.
Extras -- Nobody wants to borrow it, and nobody is going to steal it.
Downsides -- Not exactly a chick magnet. But then, my wife is not real big on the whole "picking up chicks" thing. Women…
