It was a TMZ addict’s dream come true today, Save Jerseyans, as Prince Harry visited the Jersey Shore alongside Governor Chris Christie and celebrated the “fantastic American spirit” demonstrated by New Jersey’s resilient populace:

If running for President doesn’t work out, Save Jerseyans, then there’s always show business for Governor Chris Christie…
Check out this truly epic vid that his office (and a few well-known celebs) put together for the New Jersey’s annual Legislative Correspondents Club show

I’m with Tom Brokaw, Save Jerseyans. The annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner isn’t worth your time even with the consistently funny Conan O’Brien serving as cheer meister. But Governor Chris Christie was there as a guest of The Huffington Post, and Conan just couldn’t help himself.
Enjoy… to the extent it’s possible:
Someone accidentally seated Governor Chris Christie with the Republicans.”
He had some fun with Christie’ weight and a few other Jersey storylines, too. Like I said… eh… I prefer his Chuck Norris lever skits!

All’s quite on the Christie front again today, Save Jerseyans. He’s in Texas today celebrating the opening of the Bush Center with America’s leading statesmen like we told you yesterday.
While he’s gone, Senate Democrats are expected to take up a number of measures including new campaign finance reform regulations. Oh goodie.
Lt. Gov. Guadagno will remain Acting Governor Guadagno until the Governor returns to the Garden State this afternoon.
The details:

Are we on our way to creating a permanent nanny state with extreme Government overreach? I’m concerned that we may be in the Garden State.
At the end of last week, Governor Christie enacted recommendations of his Violence Task Force that was formed with the express purpose of examining the state of gun laws in New Jersey.
As reported first at Save Jersey, the plan calls for expanding New Jersey’s already second-in-the-nation super strict gun control laws. It also recommends expanding government-funded mental health treatment, offers several guidelines on mental health reporting/monitoring, and endorses restricting kids from buying or renting violent video games without a parent. The plan also proposes government-issued photo IDs with mandatory renewal dates accompanied by penalties if a gun owner fails to comply as well as new penalties for gun-related crimes etc and so on – the report is many pages long!
This lengthy plan also left me with more questions than answers, Save Jerseyans.
The plan made me cringe, and feel like I’m officially back living in a socialist country. I was born here in New Jersey, but lived in Norway for 20 years. I fell in love with this country and all its freedoms. I fell hard for the idea of personal responsibility, the pursuit of happiness and American people’s philosophy in general. I love the fact that most parents tell their children “You can do anything you put your mind to” and both parent and child firmly believes this, because in America, if you believe it, you can do it.
Most countries don’t have this inherent confidence. I love this country with a great passion, but the last ten years have me worried for my children’s future. More and more, I question the country’s ability to remain great, both fiscally and ideologically. The ideologists and the nanny-state pushers are taking over in many US states.
As I’m reading this new report, one element immediately gave me pause…

There’s only one item on Governor Christie’s public schedule today, Save Jerseyans: his once-monthly appearance on NJ 101.5′s “Ask the Governor” program.
Put Chris Christie in front of a microphone and boredom is never a real concern regardless of whether you like what he’s saying. This month’s show might prove particularly interesting given that it’s the Big Guy’s first public Q&A since he announced a far-reaching gun control proposal last Friday. I’d be shocked if at least one gun question didn’t make it past the call screener…
Interested in participating? Well then get off of the bench and into the game, folks! The action starts at 7:00 p.m. Tune in to 101.5 FM, listen online here or via the live stream below:
The station’s call-in information is below the fold…

Governor Chris Christie still looks to be cruising to reelection, according to a Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press poll released this morning.
Christie’s overall approval rating is 63%, according to Patrick Murray, the director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. The governor’s ratings are slightly stronger among registered voters, 65% of whom approve of his job performance. 86% of Republicans, 64% of Independents and 52% of give Christie high marks.
On the stump, Christie has been promoting how he has reduced the size of government in New Jersey since taking office. “There’s over 5000 fewer employees in state government today than when I took office, and over 20,000 fewer government employees across the state,” Christie says in a campaign video, “We promised to make government smaller, we’ve made government smaller.” Despite these facts, 54% of public workers approve of Christie’s job performance compared to 37% who do not.
