Then he got dragged to hell over it. You know who didn’t enjoy all the memes, guys? Chris Christie’s kids. Bet you feel bad now.
Ever the health nut, Governor Chris Christie signed a bill on Friday that will raise the smoking age in New Jersey to 21 from the previous age of 19. New Jersey: The Health State, they’ll call it now. New Jersey: Clean Lung Land. These are good, right?

Over the weekend, photos of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie enjoying the beach with his family infuriated constituents, to whom beaches were closed over the Fourth of July thanks to a government shutdown over a budget dispute. Though Christie probably couldn’t care less, he’s now being hit by an official complaint…
Governor Chris Christie ordered a government shutdown in New Jersey on Saturday, over a budget disagreement that lead to the closure of all state-run parks and beaches for the Fourth of July weekend.

If you’d planned to spend the long weekend slathered in baby oil down the shore, I’ve got some bad news. Thanks to government deadlock over the budget, all of New Jersey’s state-run parks and beaches will be closed to the public until the issue is straightened out, whenever that might be.

In 2011, former Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi collected $32,000 for a speaking engagement at Rutgers University.

61 percent of Americans approve of recreational marijuana legalization, while just 20 percent of New Jerseyans approve of Gov. Chris Christie.

New Jersey Governor-turned-Trump-errand-boy Chris Christie is just one point away from earning the lowest approval ratings in Jersey gubernatorial history, an incredible feat he’s been working diligently to achieve in time for the new year.
When Chris Christie aligned himself with Donald Trump, he signed up for a series of humiliations. Like being publicly admonished for eating cookies, or losing leadership of Trump’s transition team to the same man who likely stole his VP nomination. It’s no less than he deserves, but the reason is a bit unexpected.
In addition to reports of “knife fight”-like internal discord, an insane top security clearance request for the son-in-law of the President-elect, a bizarre game of cat-and-mouse with the press, and the clear impression that no one on Team Trump expected they might have to actually run the country, the New York Times …
