| New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has filed papers to seek re-election next year, while enjoying a popularity surge due to his hands-on response to Superstorm Sandy, the worst natural disaster in state history. The 50-year-old Republican filed papers with election officials Monday cementing his intention to seek a second term, according to two people close to the governor. The technical step allows Christie to set up a campaign headquarters, hire staff and raise money toward his re-election, said the people, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak

Number 11 that was very funny and #18 you´re right. Even Nanny Booberg managed to have his dull synapes firing when some flunky asked him, Hey mayor do you want to do a Christie? He smartly passed on that leaving Bagadoughnuts Christie being the only tick on the presidents rear end. I hope that the bum gets defeated by someone like Corzine. That way we can get a twofer. Jersey gets a "good" governor and Christie waddles into oblivion.

The Boston Marathon terrorist attack allegedly hatched by two brothers from Chechnya is threatening to disrupt President Obama’s second-term agenda. Opponents of immigration reform — the most promising priority of Obama’s second term remaining after the defeat of gun control — are already using the attack to try to slow progress on a bipartisan Senate bill. (Snip) The issues are expected to create political problems and distractions for Obama, whose fight against terrorism has largely been a political success highlighted by the killing of Osama bin Laden. It is unclear how much oxygen the issue will consume in the coming weeks,

South Florida voters removed Allen West from Congress, but loyal supporters continue to finance his political efforts, contributing a stunning $479,000 to his political action committee during the first three months of 2013. That works out to more than $5,300 in cash pouring in every day to the Allen West Guardian Fund, a political action committee that´s part of a multi-faceted effort to keep the West brand vibrant.

WEST- Like his constituents, Mayor Tommy Muska suffered a deep personal loss from the devastating explosion that rocked his small town. First responders killed in the blast were fellow volunteer firemen and close friends. His home was among the 60-plus that were seriously damaged or destroyed. Yet, as West confronts a tragedy that no one saw coming, Muska exudes a resilient spirit that is characteristic of this Central Texas community forged by Czech immigrants more than a century ago(Snip)"Close-knit" is a phrase used repeatedly by both outsiders and West residents to describe the town´s character.

When Morris Bridges got the alert about the West Fertilizer Co. fire on Wednesday, he knew dinner would have to wait. Friends say the 41-year-old fire sprinkler technician and West Volunteer Fire Department rookie kissed his toddler goodbye and told his wife, Carman, that he would be right back. From miles around West, volunteers suited up and sped toward a fire on Jerry Mashek Road that turned out to be a death trap for Bridges and more than a dozen others. Of the 14 confirmed by late Friday as victims of the massive explosion, at least nine were firefighters.

BAGHDAD—Iraq´s vote on Saturday marks the first nationwide polls since U.S. soldiers left in late 2011. But weeks of deadly violence have already marred prospects for an election that now looks set to deepen sectarian divisions. At least 27 mostly young men were killed and 51 were wounded in the late-night bombing of a cafe in Iraq´s capital on Thursday, less than two days before polls were set to open. The pace of regular bombings over the past several months has increased in the weeks ahead of Saturday´s local elections and some 13 candidates, mostly from Iraq´s Sunni minority,

WATERTOWN, Mass. — Massachusetts State Police say a pair of brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings spent the night in a Honda Civic and used it to carjack a Mercedes SUV. Police said Friday at a Watertown news conference that one of the brothers stayed with the carjacking victim for a few minutes and then let him go. They say one brother drove away in the Civic, and the other one drove away in the Mercedes. Police say one then ditched the Civic and reunited with his brother in the Mercedes.

The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner — considered the glitziest and most buzzworthy event of Washington’s party season — appears to be a bit more low-key this year. Between the guest list absences of some of Hollywood’s brightest stars and a more subdued party scene, many folks working behind the scenes agree this year’s dinner will be decidedly more subdued. One shindig noticeably void from the soiree circuit this year is Funny or Die’s annual First Amendment Party.

President Obama is well known to have voted against the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) four times between 2001 and 2003, when he was an Illinois state senator. One of the two companion bills to BAIPA, which Obama also opposed, required that abortionists provide “reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice” to abortion survivors, and further, that abortionists try to anticipate botches and plan to have a second physician present if there was a “reasonable likelihood” that the abortion would result “in a live born child.” Obama was the sole Illinois state senator to speak against

So once again, no good deed goes unpunished. Uncle Sam lets another bunch of leeching future terrorists into the country who have absolutely no business being here, gives them “asylum,” making them immediately eligible for welfare, and this is the thanks we get? They turn into mass murderers. We bring in thousands of Muslims from a primitive society that has been battling Christians for centuries, and put them into a peaceful Christian society — what could possible go wrong? This is what I was thinking about yesterday, with much of the city under what amounted to martial law.

We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry. Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.But you´re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America.

Federal law enforcement officials are actively investigating the possibility that the Boston bombers were known to the government’s terror-trackers, MailOnline understands. Any inquiry into the marathon bombing will look into whether agents could have taken action – but didn’t – to prevent the Tsarnaev brothers from obtaining the explosives that killed 3 and wounded 173 others. CBS News reported Friday evening that two years ago, the FBI interviewed the elder brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in Thursday night´s dramatic shootout.

The Bears center, who was picked No. 1 overall in the recent WNBA Draft (to the Phoenix Mercury) and is considered by many to be an all-time great in women’s college basketball, casually explained her sexual orientation to Sports Illustrated. Griner was asked by SI’s Maggie Gray on the difference between men’s and women’s sports when it comes to acceptance of sexual orientation; why the WNBA has been able to often embrace many lesbians within their sport, while male sports in America still waits on its first publicly gay player.
