Paterson is the governor of NY

"What do you have against New Jersey anyway Governor?"
"Unfortunately a southern border!"

ahh,my bad. Not much difference though.

Asshole!

I'm having trouble feeling sympathetic to Patterson's plight when he puts out news like this

New taxes, deep cuts to education and health care, and a restructuring of the state's economic development programs will be hallmarks of Gov. David Paterson's first budget plan to be released in two days, according to interviews of people briefed on components.

The plan will come with a host of revenue raisers ? increased taxes on hospitals and insurance policies, for instance ? and at least one new assessment, a so-called obesity tax on non-diet soda to raise $404 million.

OBESITY TAX? I say unfair discrimination towards nerds is what it is. I refuse to drink that Splenda/Aspertame infused shit they call soda, and I'm 140 lbs 5'9" (NOT OBESE). How the fuck is that shit even legal?

Hehe, not from NY, just so outraged at the thought of having to pay a lame 5c deposit on soda if I'm ever there, $10 for a pack of cigs, AND an extra "I like regular soda" tax.

I'd just drive over to NJ and clean Wal-Mart out every once in a while.

lol, and I thought SNL was soo good when they kept hammering the other side 😉

Wait a minute; are we talking about red-dot Indians or feather Indians?

I honestly don't know why Paterson is upset. I mean, SNL made fun of a retarded president (Bush), so why not a blind Governor? 🙂

I said it like it was written in the article I linked, but of course it means Native Americans.

Taxing the Native Americans... Hmmmm, what a novel idea! What is he? An idiot?? Last time a governor thought he could get away with that, the NYS thruway was blocked as well as I-86 in the Southern Tier.
