Christie cancels inauguration party over polar vortex storm

TRENTON, N.J. — Gov. Chris Christie, who starts a second term with multiple investigations into his administration’s tactics underway, will accentuate bipartisanship and diversity in his inaugural speech Tuesday.
The celebrations to mark the start of Christie’s second term could be tempered by investigations into traffic tie-ups that appear to have been ordered by his staff for political retribution and an allegation that his administration linked Superstorm Sandy aid to approval for a real estate project.
The 55th governor of New Jersey had to modify the schedule of inaugural events because a severe winter storm threatens to dump up to a foot of snow on the region Tuesday.
Organizers canceled an evening party on Ellis Island, a symbolic spot synonymous with the promise of the United States, because there was fear snow would make travel dangerous. The island where some 12 million immigrants first entered the U.S. is divided between New Jersey and New York, but his party was supposed to be held in a hall on the New York side.

there are higher powers at works here, whatever one imagines them to be. Couldn't happen to a more deserving individual. Something about bitter cold and a big dump seem significant somehow. Helluva way to start a new term, eh?

Good one.
I'm sure Christie will be donating the party goodies to the homeless. As a matter of fact, he'll undoubtedly be working the lines, serving up the foie gras himself.
