Snow my you know what - the party has been cancelled and so was last night's fancy dinner

The dinner was cancelled because of a lack of response

If Sandygate or Hobokengate (or whatever it ends up being called) is borne out, it will be a lot worse than Bridgegate. Christie’s response to Sandy is what many people love him for, and what those who are less charmed fall back on when they wonder about his character. People can forgive a blustering bully if they decide he’s a big-hearted tough guy; not so a greedy bully who surrounds himself with shakedown artists. And it’s just low—eighty per cent of Hoboken was underwater after Sandy. Unlike in Bridgegate, farce is not a defense; this scandal can’t be explained away as a political prank that went too far because adults forgot that emergency vehicles get stuck in traffic, as well.
Zimmer isn’t saying that she heard this from Christie—just from his Lieutenant Governor, who said the message was straight from him. Perhaps we are in for another press conference in which the Governor talks endlessly about how he’s the one who was betrayed. Zimmer said that, in addition to the ShopRite exchange, she was told by a second official that helping the Rockefeller project was the way to get Sandy money “flowing.”
When the first Bridgegate allegations emerged, one of Christie’s responses was that Fort Lee had all the traffic lanes it deserved—maybe more. With Hoboken, his officials have been out saying that the city got plenty of Sandy money. Zimmer said the city got only three hundred and forty-two thousand dollars out of the hundred million it asked for from funds the state had allocated—two hundred and ninety million dollars in all—for projects meant to keep it from drowning during the next storm. Christie officials all but called her a liar, saying that Hoboken got seventy million dollars after Sandy. This was an odd answer, since, as Zimmer noted, this sum came from entirely different sources, mostly federal flood-insurance policies that were paid out. If anything, the size of the insurance claims are a measure of the city’s need for hazard management, which, again, is what the money they didn’t get was for. According to the Times, when pressed on the numbers, “State officials could not point to any large sums that they had decided to grant to Hoboken from that $290 million.”

do you think a NJ snowplow can cut?
Christie doesn't want to risk the chance of getting marooned out there.

Enthusiasm for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s second inauguration celebration Tuesday has been more muted than his first in 2010, as the Republican continues to deal with the fallout over a widening scandal over alleged political retribution.
A dinner scheduled Monday night for Gov. Chris Christie’s closest supporters in Jersey City was canceled, an inauguration committee spokesman said. Republicans had more tickets to give away for the events than they did in 2010, when there was more demand, party leaders said.
Officials with Mr. Christie’s inaugural committee said they expected a smaller inauguration celebration than in 2010 when he was first elected. The spokesman said there has actually been an uptick in interest in attendance since the George Washington Bridge scandal erupted this month.
But some state Republican leaders have noticed a drop in enthusiasm and been troubled by it.
This year, Mr. Christie had planned a grand celebration of his landslide reelection victory in November and the start of a potential bid for national office.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The grand celebration was one big flop - good for the New Jersey ReTHUG goons.
Then he was reduced to telemarketing his own inauguration party to try and get people to show up. Which didn't work because, who want's to be seen with him at this point? Let alone who wants to pay $500 a plate to be associated with him?
Scandal-plagued New Jersey governor Chris Christie will be sworn in for his second term in Trenton on Tuesday, but the $500-a-head party at Ellis Island's Great Hall that was supposed to follow the ceremony has been canceled. The reason given for the cancellation is today's snowstorm, which is expected to last into tonight and could make ferry travel to the celebration dangerous and unpleasant. It might be for the best, since it doesn't sound like the party was going to be a particularly great time, anyway.
Over the weekend, The Wall Street Journal reported that there had been "a drop in enthusiasm" surrounding Christie's second inauguration. A 50-person dinner at New Jersey's Liberty House Restaurant for the governor's closest supporters was called off "because of a lack of response." And Republican leaders were allowed to give away more tickets to the since-canceled Ellis Island party and swearing-in ceremony than they were when Christie first took office in 2010. As late as a few days ago, Christie's brother, Todd, was calling people for "last-minute cash" to pay for the inaugural events. The New York Times reports that, at one point, Christie got on the phone himself to try to assure donors that he is "moving beyond" his recent bad press.

Life is too hard at times ... I like the fact that I am totally distracted by chubby chocolate covered cheeks and sparkling eyes.
Perhaps, all I want to see is a gorgeous joyous baby!
... just more indication that Christie is nothing short of criminal scum 
with his pants down and getting busted with his hands in All the cookie jars!
The baby is enjoying the burnt toast and jam, too! 
Mahalo malaise.. very interesting article from the New Yorker! 
Just like me
I was imagining burnt toast and jam.
