Anthony Romeo: A Love Letter to Chris Christie
You see, I’m going to be in Erie Park in Montclair on Saturday at 4 p.m., walking with Garden State Equality. We’re going to be walking to raise money to override your veto, and I just thought that maybe you should be there.

You don’t have to look far to see other examples of veterans in public service. Senators Max Cleland and John McCain, both Vietnam veterans, come instantly to mind. And that’s just the political scene. What about business, science, medicine, the arts?

The Truth-o-Meter says: Mostly True | Jeb Bush says immigrants are ‘more fertile’
The aging of America draws a lot of attention as the country tries to control the rising cost of health care and sustain critical programs such as Social Security. Jeb Bush, former Republican governor of Florida and potential 2016 presidential candidate, has a partial solution — promote immigration. Bush, speaking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference in Washington, made a pitch for immigration reform, saying America needs more new workers to help pay for retirees — “to rebuild the demographic pyramid” as he put it. “Immigrants are more fertile,” Bush said. “And they love families and …
Bill Clinton Needs to Shut Up
Jack White, The Root
(The Root) — I wish that when President Bill Clinton started spouting off the other day about the need for President Barack Obama to intervene in Syria’s horrific civil war or risk looking like “a total fool,” Obama had followed the example set by his wife when she was recently confronted by a heckler.

John Brennan: President Obama’s Drone Master
Reid Cherlin, GQ
“I’m going up to Jersey tomorrow, to try to escape.” John O. Brennan, President Obama’s top counterterrorism advisor and his soon-to-be new CIA director, leans back in his chair. Brennan is a proud son of Hudson County, a baseball player at his Catholic high school, a commuter student at Fordham. It’s a common-touch backstory that, a tad predictably, Brennan’s fans bring up all the time, and that he himself seems to cling to. He points to a photograph on the wall behind my head, a black and white shot of George H.W. Bush, surrounded by aides.”The guy walking…
