Among the greenery

UPDATED
NJ is toast as Corzine signs a law mandating sharp greenhouse gas reductions by 2050 to help fight climate change.

That won't do much to help the NJ jobs deficit and its continued economic low gear.

I know that I'm planning to leave the state, which has been my home for decades now, as soon as conditions allow me to.

I'm not alone in that sentiment. If you browse through Jew Nersey Magazine while you wait in line at McCaffrey's, you find page after page of ads from adjacent states (particularly Delaware and Pennsylvania) inviting businesses and individuals to relocate to their states, which are more tax favorable and business friendly.
Meanwhile, over at PRS...

A haircut and a Carnival
Dr Sanity has The Carnival of the Insanities, and GM Roper shows John Edwards How To Get A Good Haircut And Save $387.00

At Johnny's you could save $387.00 if you went to Johnny's when you get down here and then you could donate the difference to say The Food Bank where it might help poor people more than rhetoric does. And, you would even get a tax deduction. AND, if I may be so bold, you could even use that in your campaign against Hillary who asked for a deduction based on giving Bills "used silk underwear" to charity. That ought to be worth something don't you think?

GM Roper has pictures to prove his point, and I like his haircut.

Wimbledon, or Live Earth?

Updated
Right now I'm here at casa de Fausta looking at the TV in the kitchen. Two things are on:
Venus Williams and Marion Bartoli are slugging it out on the court. Great match.
Some girls in tight clothes with thin voices are singing on Live Earth in front of a Definitely.NOT,Carbon.Neutral wall of lightbulbs.

On the one hand, a really good tennis match. On the other hand, a vacuous exhibition of symbolic tokenistic behavior.

You know what I'm watching.

But fret not, Tim Blair and Mark Steyn are covering LE for you.

I'll be enjoying the beautiful Summer day after the game is over - have a wonderful day!

Update, Tuesday 10 July:
Via The Corner, we might have a consensue

The BBC blamed the poor figures on Saturday's good weather and said its Wimbledon tennis coverage had drawn away afternoon viewers.

You heard it here first.
