I present to you New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. He gave a speech to the Manhattan Institute last week, and had some great things to say.

Christie has also made some earlier splashes that caught my attention, like his taking on a dipstick reporter in this video clip…

There’s a lot to like in Governor Christie. He seems like a straight-shooting, honest, down-to-earth guy who’s been elected against steep odds and strong opposition. His election comprises a mandate from the voters to fix some serious budgetary problems, and he’s tackling them head-on. I can only wish him the best, and hope he’s able to get New Jersey’s house in order. I doubt he’ll have the job done in time for the 2012 Presidential election, but he’s the kind of guy that we’ll likely need on a Federal level to fix the mess that’s being built now.

Some awesome Joie Chitwood-style driving with new Cadillacs… Why don’t we see stuff like this in the US anymore? Or does it still happen, but only in places other than Sioux Falls?

Anyway, it looks like a great promotional PR event put on by Cadillac in China. They seem to know where to find a big pool of potential customers.
