  A pet peeve of mine from the intensely-emotional gay marriage debate: "justice" and "equality" are two entirely distinct concepts, Save Jerseyans.

  Democrats have good reason to be nervous heading into Election 2010. Most early indicators look very bad for the majority party. Not "2006 GOP meltdown" bad, either. Nope. We're talking "1994 revolution" bad, Save Jerseyans.
